Awesome guitar...but there are two posts that beat me to the Kahler. Was going to ask...how do you like the Kahler?

Here's the thing:
I have a really big collection (about 140 guitars)...I have some with Kahlers, some with Floyds, some with V-trems, some with fixed bridge, some with string through...
I personally believe every guitar stands on it's own, and certain styles of bridge/trem suit certain guitars better.
For example: on a Rhoads, I personally prefer either a Floyd or string-through, on a BC Rich Mockingbird a fixed bridge, on a BC Rich Gunslinger a Floyd, on a Soloist either a Kahler or a Floyd, on a San Dimas Charvel I'm wide open, and I prefer a V-trem, but have many with Floyds or Kahlers that play amazing.
Kahlers don't bother me on some models, do bother me on others, and are yet great on others...in this case of the pink King V, I love it.

I agree with Wildchyld. I have had guitars with Kahler Trems and Floyd's. I personally prefer Floyds but that a preference thing more than anything else. My hand is most comfortable on the Floyd Rose style bridge. I didn't like the way the Kahler's felt on my picking hand except for the 2700 which is an outstanding unit. Kahler tremolo units work just as good as the Floyd in the functionality department when they're set up properly in my opinion. I just personally don't like the feel and that is the only reason I prefer Floyd Rose over Kahler. The Kahler tremolo units are just as stable as Floyds in my experience as well. I've never had an issue with any Kahler I've ever owned aside from my hand liking the Floyd style better.

Coolness (including the Kahler) & welcome to the jcf!!

And that is why I asked how he likes the Kahler. 140 is an awesome huge collection! I thought I had a lot with 23. I'd hate to be you on a string changing day.

I have been playing for 30 years (and I still suck, thank you very much). But I have played on many guitars with many styles of bridges. I personally prefer Floyds, but that is obviously a personal preference. I have a Mockingbird with a Floyd and love it. Anyway, it's all good. His is a bitchin' guitar, a piece of history, made a couple of years after I graduated high school. I am historical.

As was said before, love the matching head stock.

Back to the thread. I didn't mean to hijack.

Hey WC what is the pickup ring situation on this? It's a bit hard to see but are they mismatched sizes? We may have to work on this issue.

Nope, just optical illusion from the angle of the pic....

both axes in this thread are beautifully Pinktastic!!! Although the pink headstock on the OP's puts me over the edge!
