I like playing "Marbles" !!

Wow, those are awesome looking. I used to own a HM strat in the late 80s, but I never saw the marble finish before. I always regretted selling mine, and have been thinking of getting another one for awhile. Fender should really reissue those.

YES! They really should. Considering the prices these are bringing these days, they could do quite well with a reissue.

Wow. Those are exactly what I'm looking for except with maple board. So will an original Floyd drop right in place of the Kahler licensed Floyd? I'm hearing conflicting reports on this. Also, when did the headstock start saying "Fender" instead of "Strat?"

If you find one with a Kahler Steeler, then trust me, you won't have to replace it with an OFR. The Steelers are as good as or better than an OFR. They were the best trems Kahler ever made IMO.

The Kahler Steeler trems are as good if not better than the Floyd Rose PROs.

The Kahler Steeler trems are as good if not better than the Floyd Rose PROs.

Definitely better than the Pros. I like the Steelers because all the saddles are the same height, so you don't have to worry about getting them in the right order. The baseplate is radiused instead. You can still use shims if you want to fine tune the radius to match your fretboard. Other than the saddles, they are almost identical to an OFR. The baseplate is hardened steel and won't strip out. However, some of them have a threaded arm instead of a push in. Some people might not like that.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice score Paul!
Really pretty.
Kinda like the one you sold me, but with the marble action and different trem.


I love mine.

Count me as one of the minority that likes the Kahler Spyder trems... I like the fact that you can replace the screws to fix a dull knife edge problem, or just rotate them a bit, and you have a fresh edge. Also like the mass, and the ballsy nature of the string locks (never jam, or split/become tough to work with).

YMMV


A+ on the score Paul!

[nhspike]

Oh, I also really dig the locking nut of the Kahler!

Integral string tree/bar.

Kahler... the most underrated trem company of the Floyd/Trem explosion era.

Hey thanks Spike !!

These guitars are great !!

I love the marble finishes !!!

[bibz]

Those things rock! I'd call 'em the bowling balls. Red please!

[nhspike]

I hate threads like this.

You know, where major secrets are disclosed.

I really don't want people knowing how nice these are.

Let's keep the prices where they are, buy them all up, then talk about them, shall we?

You know, like Charvel Predators!

LOL
