Out with the Floyd, in with the Kahler, Jackson Kelly content...

Far as I'm concerned, the Distortion is THE high output pickup, period. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's the one that's works best for me.

That turned out great well done man. Yes Distortion is king

I feel the same way about Floyds. I despise Floyds.

I actually like both, my favourite guitar has a Floyd but my main live guitar has a Kahler & i reckon it holds tune better than any Floyd style bridge i've tried.

Awesome work man. A black pickguard and some ebonizer dye on that rosewood finderboard would make it look even better IMHO.

That is the classiest looking kelly I have ever seen.

Thank you very much, very kind of you.

I think it's gonna get a real finish soon, it's just too good of a guitar to me to have a primer paint job.

Here are the missing pictures. My photobucket died at some point.

Not that anyone gives a happy crap about this, but I'm posting it anyways

Not quite the player the old Mongrel is, but it's got potential. Big difference in the neck. Basically the same "D" shape as the older one, but noticeably thicker. Still very thin, but not quite as much as the Mongrel's.

Needs nutwork, possibly a new nut, and a little better final fretwork. One or two slightly low ones in there, but nothing you can hear through the amp.

Makes a nice home for a pair of idle EMG's I've had. They actually sound kind of lively in this guitar, not sterile at all. Anyone who says EMG's make all guitars sound the same hasn't tried swapping them into many different guitars, that's for sure. They sounded like ass in the Mongrel, but she still had the hated Floyd, then.

Nice. They look good together.

Well, ain't this a *****. Playing the Mongrel the other day, and the A string hook snaps off, WTF?!!! Been playing Kahlers since 1988, never had this kind of failure before, Dammit!!! Damned things are made of pot metal or something!! Ordered a replacement, but it'll take a week to get here.

Fortunately, i still have the Gibson-branded Kahler lying around, so i just swapped the string hooks from that. I think the string hooks from that are steel, shouldn't have any more trouble hopefully.
