Elton Posted January 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 oh well is it worth it to spend that much money on kahler tremolos? are they good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 i find it hard finding kahler trem info online... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 oh well is it worth it to spend that much money on kahler tremolos? are they good? slayer uses them...give them a listen....by the way with a floyd when you pull back on the bar it brings the strings closer to the frets,meaning your action needs to be higher to compensate...kahler flatmounts do not do that,they pull the strings straight back over roller saddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 oh well is it worth it to spend that much money on kahler tremolos? are they good? If i was building a guitar for myself to keep, and i had the choice of a free floyd rose (brand new, geniune), or a $199 Kahler, i would pay the extra for the kahler. And yes, Wes is right. When doing wild devil worshipping dives and pull ups, the pesky fret board doesnt get in the way, because the string action hieght does not change at all, regardless of how much trem abuse you give it.

westhemann Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 thanks!!! there you go elton,that is the one....notice the roller saddles that the strings pull over...that is what allows it to work so well imo those kahlers that look like floyds are,in my opinion,not any better than the floyd..they suffer from the same design flaws. the flatmount,on the other hand,is a piece of engineering genius.mounts directly to the wood with only a shallow rout,and doesn't have edges to dull or catch.i love the design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLS Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I can see why they put a floyd on the LTD model... BUT ONE THE ESP!!! ***!?!?! Thats sum serious bullshit, wonder if Jeff knows about this?? Cause i know he hate floyds and i doubt he wants his name on a guitar with one. And those inlays suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreamLine Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 personally i think the Kahler is a better idea design-wise; though ultimately the OFR is more reliable and customizable, it simply works better - can be used wih pretty much any string gauge and more room for adjusting intonation, i've heard of a lot of people having problems with the roller saddles, whereas there are practically no problems with old OFR's but thats just me; most of the bad Floyd publicity has come from the licensed ones (korean mystery metal that breaks after little abuse on top range Ibanez axes?) the pull-up thing is true, but it doesnt stop Satch does it? he has insanely low action, at about 0.5mm over the 12th fret, and i cant exactly say that restricts his floyd use.... but hey both FR and Kahler are cool, whammy abuse all the way \m/ Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 ultimately the OFR is more reliable and customizable, it simply works better - can be used wih pretty much any string gauge and more room for adjusting intonation You havent set up many 10's or 11's on floyds have you!! I know a few VERY reputable repairers that simply refuse to fit anything heavier than 9-42 onto ANY floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
