Multi-laminate explorer scratch build

I think Kahlers look cool! And practically everyone who's actually used one says they're great, smooth and very adjustable.

Yeah...I've never played a Kahler (I don't much care for trems in general), but why do so many people seem to hate them?
Have a couple of guitars with them. They have a much smoother feel to them than Floyds. But they don't dive as well as Floyds either, not as dramatic.

I think when Floyd Rose came along, it was the "have to have" tremolo and got adopted by the guitar heroes of the time. So everybody followed that trend. Plus the Floyd was pretty much a drop in replacement for the Fender tremolos.

Also, the locking nuts are different between the two. Floyd replaces the nut, Kahler puts the lock behind the nut.

But I have no complaints about the Kahlers I have, they work great, just different.
 
I put a kahler on the mini-v steinberger gearless tuners no lock nut, no problems
as for floyds look cooler

I don't think so

sorry bob, but you're out numbered. Many more floyd users than kahler. And that V would look waaaaaaaaay cooler with a floyd on it instead of that Greyhound bus on the back of it... :icon_biggrin:

I know how much you guys like a progress report  :laughing7:, so here we are with all the routing done and a first sand - still to round the edge a little and shape the heel. Same progress with my other build so no pics there.
