I snagged this one off the classifieds about a month ago, and have been busy repairing it ever since. It has matching numbers and the original paperwork. It was ordered on 6/20/86 and has an invoice date of 9/22/86. It has an Ontario plate, but is right there at the transition point. It originally had J200's, an unknown humbucker, and a JE-1000 TG. When I got it, the electronics were in rough shape. It had one original J200 installed, an odd unmarked pup in the middle, a Dimarzio without a model number markings at the bridge, and the JE-1000 was disconnected (the reason is unclear). It was pretty much JACKED as far as working correctly and had really been messed with. I tested out a spare Super Distortion in it, which sounded killer. So, I followed through with the SD, two Choppers, and all new pots, switches, input jack, and wiring. The Kahler had a TON of stripped screws and pads, so I got those replaced or fixed. It has a nice hefty weight to it, and the neck is a bit on the chunky side. I've got everything oiled up and detailed quite nicely. There is a bit of natural relicing here, but nothing major. The white color is amazing in that it has a "red pearl" mixed in. You can see these small sparkly red points when looking at it in the right light.

Very cool Larry. The white with black guard certainly gives an Adrian Smith vibe, but his main 80's Jacksons both had maple boards and he hasn't ever regularly used Kahlers that I recall (his early Lados had the 'Rockinger' trem then Floyd on the blue one, his Destroyer/LP were tunamatics and his Jacksons were Floyds).Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get
