I have one one my '86 Charvel–I really like how it responds and feels. Only think I would change is I wish I could change the block for brass or something.

Re: Anyone playin' a Kahler Fulcrum?
Was yours flat mounted or stud mounted?
I really wanted to like the flat mounted ones but they just didn't respond the way I felt a tremolo should.
I used to prefer the Kahler over anything; however, now I really like the Schallers (2000s and 3801s)

The designs mentioned above are the Pro models. They employ a cam system. Flat mount for Fender guitars. Stud mount for Gibson.
The Kahler Traditional model was a two-post fulcrum design, intended to retrofit Stratocasters. The pivot posts use a unique machined profile to accept the knife edges in the bridge baseplate. The bulk of the unit is a single piece. It is not possible to replace the sustain block because there isn't one in the conventional sense.

Are you certain that you had a US-made Kahler product and not the ghastly imitation fitted to some MIJ Fender Contemporary series Stratocasters and Telecasters?
