Kahler trem sytems

Adam fitted Alex's and Slash's LPs w/ 60mm FU Brass Big-Blocks!!

Sweet. They make a world of difference.

Absolutely. The Neal Schon sig & the Alex Lifeson sig are both on my wish list...

If you HAVE TO have a bar on a Les Paul...accept no substitutes.

[Diamondjimi]

Ugly indeed. You'd have to be a bit desperate if you absolutely had to have a bar on a LP .

Probably has a Kahler/Bigsby feel to it...

[ELVIS]

I was trying to like it but I can't...

[jhale667]

Nice that it's a non-destructive modification, but boy is it ugly...

[ELVIS]

How 'bout this odd looking thing ??

[jhale667]

Not worth the hassle. If Christ himself played electric guitar, I'd guarantee it would be fitted with a Floyd Rose (German made, of course...)

MIG or be DAMNED!

(And he'd have a FU Titanium Big Block on it!)

Not worth the hassle. If Christ himself played electric guitar, I'd guarantee it would be fitted with a Floyd Rose (German made, of course...)

i donno...? think he would preforgive germany? sorry....carry on here, i'll just show myself to the dump.

Because you do it once and add some lube whenever you change strings and its a done deal...

But all the extra crap you do to stay in tune without a locking nut, how is THAT not considered "a pain in the ass", pray tell?

I do use locking nuts. As my guitars were made with them already installed. Except for the Fender Lead I I have....and the locking nut was installed with the trem. It was my best friend's guitar in 1980, and I discovered it in 1997 or so in a pawnshop and bought it for $185. Problem is, the idiot who called himself a "luthier", routed the body a bit off-center, so I had to scoot the bridge saddles all the way towards the low E string to keep the high E from slipping off the side of the neck. It is on my "to-do" list to send it to a friend of mine in Tacoma and have him fix that problem.

Locking nuts are a pain in the ass.

Not if you know how to set-up and use them, much like a Floyd. And I didn't say Kahlers weren't "nice", just not my thing. That, and I dislike their tone.

Dude, a lot of the Kahlers really are nice and you can use a Floyd type locking nut if you like...

Like softcock, I don't use a locking nut at all...

I sort of polish the slots of the nut with a piece of string and use dura-lube™ on the nut like I've said before and it WILL stay in tune...

Locking nuts are a pain in the ass, but I will use one on my Agile Floyd project because it's already made for it...
