Seems like every time i hear about kahler they're going back to making trems again... but it's been almost 2 years since i initially started hearing this stuff - does anyone have a solid answer? what's up with kahler?

I'd say Floyd Rose put them under.
Notice nobody was making any LIC by Kahler trems.
I've always thought the "O" floyd was a much better piece of equipment. some say the Kahler sounds better .. I dont agree .. but would be cool to see them make a comeback."I don't care if you boo .. just boo in key!" JH

shred anyone??Comment

I shred...sortof. I'm to young to know about any other FR than the orig. and all the licenced ones. I know Kahler makes a bass bridge. I saw it on warmoth.com.Sonic the Hedgehog blows my mind!!!Comment

They were sued by Fender / Floyd Rose over the Steeler and (almost totally obscure) Killer TremsOriginally posted by JOLLY

I thought it was kinda funny that fender was part of that lawsuit.. I realize they owned FR at that point.. but the steeler's used to come stock on the HM strats.
in that same lineup was the spyder and the killer. nice metal names.
it looks like they're gearing up the website.

kahlers are basically a hardtail strat bridge and a floyd rolled into one....it does sound better and sustain better......also....anyone can route it onto their guitars.....kahler=time saver=cost efficient since it's easy to route the cavitiesGuitars:
87' Gibson Les Paul Custom- Stock PUs
86' Carvin V220- Super distortion neck, tonezone bridge....
87' Cort Unknown Model, Modded- Dimarzio Super Distortion Bridge with Alnico V mag.

Bogner Ecstasy-stock Tubes
Marshall JMP 50 watt- stock Tubes
Fender Deluxe 90-Solid State..:-PComment

I wouldn't say the original Kahler was like a hardtail strat or like a Floyd. It was more like a Bigsby, not in looks, but in concept. It had stationary roller saddles, and an independent tailpiece that pivoted to release or increase tension.This machine kills fascists

OK, maybe with some imagination, the saddles do make it kinda look like a strat hardtail:

That's some great news!
So here comes the next question - Where are we gonna be able to get them?Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.Comment

Thatīs great news. It is said that there were some 300 000 trems made, and syddenly there were no spare parts! And the Kahler trems are often said to be real good. Jim Shine on the FDP, he knows a lot about elecric guitars, prefer the Kahlers before Floyds.Comment
