I picked this baby up off of CL last year for $150. It was all original including the tweed case. I was really blown away by the tone out of this thing, and decided to restore it the best I could. The body had some sort of overspray on it, and I had a hard time with that. I worked on it a bit with some micro mesh, but really just ended up with a hazy looking mess.
The Kahler was pretty rough!
These suck to restore if you have to buy replacement parts. I needed a bar and a couple of those roller saddles, and it cost me friggin $100. I went with the Floyd type bar and springs. They also have about a million small parts on them.
Tada!
The neck looked pretty good. These are a lot like the Jackson Strats, except with a hard finish.
The headstock had some nice dings on it.
So I sent the neck and body to Marty Bell for a powder blue finish. He knocked it out of the park!
He cleared over a Best Decal decal and it looks great.
These take a bit of work to rewire!
All together now.
