Was waiting for you to post on this, i was watching it.
I laughed when i saw your name as the winning bidder, cause somehow i knew you were going to be the one to buy it, lol.
So that's not a jackson body? The strings looks misaligned on the neck, is that from the mod you stated?
Anyway it's awesome.
Still like the round horns better than KV.

Thanks all!
The mod is bad for two reason:
- the bridge is tilted so the string alignment is too much to the bass side
- the locking nut has been added by using a stack of shims that look like crap
Both issues should be reversable. The body is original with proper markings. It's 1:1 with my other Jacksons and the layout of controls and cavities is the same as on the 1988 Robbin Crosby Dragon V.My band here -> http://www.diceoffate.com/

Honestly, i didn't know Kahlers still exsisted til like last year.
I thought they dissapeared back in 1985, like they should have, lol.
My highschool buddy put one on his gibson v back then, and we both thought it was a piece of crap, so he replaced it with a wonderbar, which i still thought sucked, but he liked it.

I decided to spend some time solving this mystery. First of all I took the pushings and studs off the guitar. They are definately JT590 studs and original to the guitar.
Then I kept looking at the trem cavity and noticed that there are dark lines showing through the paint in certain light. I decided to slowly sand the finish off and soon I realized that the familiar Jackson WO stamp was there. As you can see we are looking at Jackson Work Order number 5610. Only other mark is that NO box has been checked on the graphic option.
5610 would date the guitar somewhere in the later half of 1988 I believe?
I put a JT590 on the guitar that I've been using for parts. I need to get a better one but it works and actually improved the string alingment a lot. I think with the right nut the problem will be solved completely.
