    Kahler fixed bridge

    Hey guys, I just have a little question for you smart JFCers. As we all know, Marty Friedman had a Kahler APM3310 fixed bridge on his KE1 signature model. Since that bridge is discontinued and most likely not available pretty much anywhere, I was looking for a substitute.

    Kahler International - The Best Guitar and Bass Tremolos on the Planet
    http://www.kahlerusa.com/home.html
    Kahler International builds the top Guitar and Bass Tremolos in the world. Made in the USA. Beware of counterfeits, buy a genuine Kahler!


    On the site, I went to the The Products page, then clicked on fixed bridges. I then saw the 3300 fixed guitar bridge. Would this be a more modern version of Marty's, and would Jackson Custom Shop put this on a Kelly?

    Thanks

    They're the same bridge with the exception of the saddles: the 3310 has steel and the 3300 has brass.

      Ahh, ok that makes sense. Since it's currently in production, could Jackson Custom Shop use it?

        Yes, they can use that bridge or any bridge u want new or old. If you supply it, they should be able to use it.

        BTW, if you're looking for a Marty look-alike Kelly, it's best NOT to let the custom shop know you want it to look like his model, or else they'll likely not do it, stating it artist-similar. Total BS IMHO.

          Well I'm only 15, I wasn't even considering getting one because of obvious reasons. I'm just thinking of options and dreams I guess. And you're right, they wouldn't even do a similar copy. Thanks for informing me!

            Yes, the 3310 currently available from Kahler is the "modern" version of what Dave and Marty used on their guitars. It's the same bridge (same measurements. They will replace any old 3300 model.) the only exception being that the base plate is very slightly different. It is available in Black, Black Nickel, Chrome, and Gold.

            I recently purchased one, here's a pic for comparison.


            And yes, Jackson WILL put it on a Kelly. Even a Kelly with 1 humbucker . Just make sure you spec out your order and do not ask for a "KE1" or mention "Marty Friedman" and you should be fine.

                A Kahler 3310 from 1997 should look like this one.



                They didn't start using the new baseplates like the upper pic until 2005/2006.

                  Wow thanks guys, I just want to try out a Kahler too. I've never even played a tremolo version of one, let alone see a stoptail.

                    Hi,

                    This is my first post in this forum!!!
                    I have a KE1 (1998) and 3 weeks ago a order a part of a Kahler 3310 (2009) and it matched fine. Just i noticed a little detail that you can see in the picture bellow, but it works well.

                      Aha! Well thank you very much for a good example, and welcome to the forum! I would love to see more pics of that KE1, you're a very lucky man to have one.

                      Cheers ~

                        Thank to you for your words!
                        When I will have free time I will make a photo session for my KE1!
                        I'm very happy to be here in this forum. I was trying to find info about my Kelly in jacksonguitars.com but they have a horrible support.
                        I found info in kahler.com, they have a good support!
