Hey Wammi
I'm looking to install an original 2300 on a strat,but I'd rather like to recess it into
the body. Does Kahler have routing templates to do this? I have a template to rout
for the cam assembly,but I'm having a hard time finding a template for the body
of the bridge shape itself.
If not, do you know anyone who can make a template, or where I could find one?
I can do the layout and can do the routing myself,I'd rather not pay extra
and send the body out and have it done by someone else...
If Kahler would design one of these, I'll be the first in line to buy one!!!!

Hey Thanks for replying
I'm planning on going 5/32" deep,and 3/32" forward from the original 25 1/4" layout
as per Dan Erlewine's instructions in "Guitar Player Repair Guide" book as well as his
"Installing Tremolos" video I purchased from Stew Mac. This method allows you to get
the height you need for tone/sustain without having to shim the neck.
As for the trem lock, that won't be an issue as I have an early model 2300...although
I have to admit the concept is interesting....I may have to purchase a new trem later on.
I have a dogged up body that I'll be trying this out on before trying it on the "real deal".
It's already routed for the cam assembly,and like you said, I have traced around the frame
with a sharpie.
Warmouth offers the full recess routing on their bodies,so if I can't otherwise find the resources
I'll go ahead and bite the bullet and order a body with the routing. If I succeed,I will certainly
post an update here ASAP.
