Report I Can Help You With Your Kahler Questions. in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat Posted June 2, 2007 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 Skyflash Hope I'm not too late to be of assistance, I'ts EASY----- Just route the main hole for the trem, but a little bit deeper, say, about 3/16", (the thickness of the trem body/plate) depending on how low you have to go. Then sit the trem in position and draw around with a pencil and there's your routing guide !!!!!! That's how I did mine about 15 years ago, worked fine, and still working !!!! The top of the trem body/plate is set flush to the top of the guitar. I had to do this because I had set the neck in my new guitar with too-little angle, and didn't want to CUT the neck off and start again !!!!!
