Hey guys, have you checked out eBay?? I bought three tremolos there, two Kahlers and a Washburn Wonderbar. I paid $120 for a Kahler Pro, $117 for the Washburn and $75 for another Kahler Pro that I actually have installed on my ESP Mirage Custom from the 80's which I also got off of eBay for $399 in excellent condition! All three trems were in excellent condition, I hate Floyds, always have, and don't see why they have lasted so long! I think Kahlers are smoother, do the same thing or more without the springs and are alot easier to change strings on. I don't solder my strings and haven't had any probs to speak of . I was using Washburns at first, just for ease of installation on guitars that I build, but since I discovered a plethora of Kahlers at eBay, that's where I go now for an old favorite that was lost long ago! Happy Hunting!!
