  • Model 2 bridge swap

    Can you swap a Schaller floyd into a Model 2 that came with the Kahler without modding the post layout?

    No, the posts on Kahler equipped Model 2's are closer together. You'd have to fill the post holes and then measure and re-drill Floyd spaced holes.

      The only other trem that will work on that without mods is the kahler killer.

        Yeah, I've got one on my Model 2 and it stays in tune like an Original Floyd Rose. They are hard to find though.

            That would be the "Steeler", hence the name -

                  The studs are different. These kahlers use the edge of the stud screw head as the pivot point that rests in the vee that is cast into the trem, exactly opposite of all or most other designs out there. Besides if you want a single locking trem like the wilk then there is no real reason to change from the kahler anyway.

                    Is the stud spacing the same though? If you break/lose parts on the kahler, they are cheap when you find them, but "when" can take a while sometimes.

                    Interesting to know if the spacing is the same, do you have to replace the bushings and studs to fit a wilkie? Or pretty much a drop in (with stud change out).
