Changing String Gauge And Tuning On A Kahler Is Easy
Just to totally drive the point of how adjustable this bridge is I'm changing it from standard to bratone, and a single locking one at that! I remove the string lock and fine tuners to show as long as you have locking tuners you don't need that other stuff (but it is highly recommended).

Gibson Guitars: The First Company To Offer The Kahler Tremolo System
thats a weird route on the back like incomplete
@@captainhowdy3104 everybody’s routes are different these days.
Hard to beat anything that came out of the model series in my eyes.
@@toddsmods.623 yeah, they were magical. I have 3 Charvel model series guitars and I absolutely love them.
Excellent video. Does anyone know if I can use the Dtuna on an original Ibanez Edge tremolo top mounted on my Charvel model 2. I have a brass tremolo blocker as well I can install if needed. I'm worried if it will fit the lock screw and be compatible. Thanks for any help.
@@toddsmods.623 while the threads are compatible the angled fine tuners would make it very difficult for it to work properly. And to be fair the D-tuna is a finicky bitch in the best circumstances.
Just acquired a Kramer Focus 2000 with the dreaded Double Locking NO fine tuner model from early 83.. also a Matsumoku made model with only Made in Japan on the neck plate.. REALLY special neck on these Japanese made guitars.. really fun to play.. but my first go around was to UNLCOK the nut and stretch and stretch and then lock them down.. and repeat several times.. the KEY is to make sure the string retainer bar is low enough to not allow any space between the nut and the strings as it runs from front to back.. the lock mechanism needs to not have to apply too much force downward due to the strings pulling against it.. really does work.. even Brad Gillis from Nightranger used this double lock setup on his original red 62 strat..with no fine tuners (supposedly FR #3 ever made).. and said it NEVER goes out of tune once set up properly.. i did not believe him.. but it hold tune great.. but stretch those buggers for sure..
Thank you, super helpful!
Any interest in a fourth 1986 Ibanez PL5050 in Gun Metallic? I have one I’ve owned since 1986 that I need to rehome
@@bitmonkey1824 I suppose it will depend on what you wanted for it. Email me at eddie@kahlerusa.com about the details.
Theres a lot of info here to take in. Hope my luthier knows about these, or otherwise, I'll be reaching out about gt600.
gt600?
@REXYLAB it's the ESP Glen Tipton signature guitar. It comes with the hybrid tremelo
All the more reason to get a fixed bridge guitar and install a Kahler into it.
I actually installed a Kahler prototype in it.
So do the extension blocks have holes for the springs.
I don't understand the question.
@ Are the springs able to move up with the extension blocks in the video they were only secured to the main block.
thanks
Those Cheap EVH Floyds are junk. 😊
The 1000 is ok and the EVH is just a rebranded 1000. They quit making them in Germany a while ago.
Looks like the same pups in the Peavey BXP AC bass. I had one and regret selling it.
@@travisazzopardi8024 possibly, I think they had the same pickups in the Cirrus.
I have a cobran (It was Chuushin Gakki's in house JDM brand while they were making the MIJ Jacksons and Charvels) that has one of the dumbest single locking takeuchi trems around. I dont know the cavity dimensions, but would it be possible to drop one of these bad boy steelers in one? I need to replace the bridge and i was gonna go with a Gotoh 1996E since its the cheapest thing i can get here in Japan, but if i could get a Kahler instead, id rather get that. A steeler or a standard Kahler 2300?(flat mount) if possible.
@@pilotamurorei a steeler sounds like a better fit.
@@REXYLAB yeah i was thinking that too, i mean my cobran has a replacement neck being an MIJ charvel neck (direct replacement and all, was like that when i got it) so i figured trying something different on it since its already a parts guitar technically.
brother since you know so much about kahlers, i wanna ask something since i cant find information ANYWHERE on this: Say you have a floyd rose recessed cavity already on your guitar. Will this fit as a direct drop replacement? What about a vintage tremolo ala a Fender strat? Im super interested in getting a kahler but i need to know if any woods gonna need to be chopped out to replace what the guitar came with and all that.
@@pilotamurorei the quick answer is there is an adapter plate Kahler makes if someone wants to convert a Floyd Rose guitar to a Kahler, not a drop in replacement. The Kahler was designed to be retrofitted to a Fender American Strat very easily with the two outer holes of the 6 hole bridge lining up perfectly with the Kahler 2300 or 7300. The reason I say Fender American Strat is because back in the early 80s when it was designed there was only a Fender American Strat, now the Mexican ones and others have different hole patterns. All that means is you have to center the bridge and figure out your own holes if you want to install a Kahler on a Mexican Fender, so no big deal. The amount of wood to remove is nothing compared to any fulcrum bridge. A Strat would require a little additional routing but not much.
@@REXYLAB thanks brother, ive been wanting to try out a kahler for a while now and tried looking around for ANY ideas on installation on various guitars and nothing comes up so that helped a lot.
I got one of these a couple of days ago, and planned a fretboard condition, fret polish and shielding the cavity. I’m delighted those are the 3 things you mentioned specifically 😂
A les paul with a trem sounds like a lot of fun
Hi, thanks for the lesson. Can I use any type of oil or grease en the moving areas? i read that EVH used to add 3 in 1 oil to the nut so that the strings went back easily and keep the guitar in tune
@@ginogallegos8106 are you saying you read to oil the strings so they will move easier in the locking nut?
I've got a Kahler on my '87 MIJ Strat. It's very much a clone of the Floyds of the time, but it still works great and returns to pitch bang on after both pulling up and down. Wish I could say the same for the Edge Pro on my Japanese Ibanez!
I have an old Fernandes Revolver FR-55 with a Body Crasher trem (what a hunk of crap that is) I was going to put a Gotoh on it but now I might have to put one of these on it. I have 3 vintage Peaveys with Spyder trems I love em all.

If I wanted to could I machine a spot to put the bar to be left handed?
@@roostersteele666 the 2300 is either right or left handed so we already did that for you.
@REXYLAB oh right on. Isn't the 2300 what comes on the G&l rampage?
A string isn't on the roller rex
@@subversivecraft where at in the video? I can probably explain why if I have the timestamp but perhaps it was unintentional. Show me where and we’ll get it all sorted out.
Cheers for the video.. just looking on Kahler site . Found the heavy bar but couldn't find the springs are available with whole bridge set up??
@@kuruptmetalhead2739 they are automatically added to the order if any 6 string cam bridge.
@REXYLAB meant to say without a bridge set up. Sorry. so not available separately?
The heavy springs are a bit larger than the standard. One thing you have to ensure is that your body route is deep enough to acommodate the bigger springs. Some guitars such as some of the BC Rich kerry king warlocks The heavy springs bottom out limiting travel. Just something to be aware of. Again this is only ceetain guitars/routes.
@@jagerking7020 that can be the case but if the route was done to Kahler spec they should fit with no problem. If the route is too shallow it should be corrected anyway.
this is so awesome . I would love to play it
@@shai550 are you registered for the drawing?
@@REXYLAB Yes
Hey brother,if you could consider selling this guitar 2 me,PLEASE contact me,i had one that was stolen after a gig,im VERY interested if ya still have it,,,chek the song GHOSTDANCE,you can hear mine on there,much love,keep up the good work,please let me know,thanx.777
I'm sorry to hear you had a guitar stolen, I have had them solen too and it really sucks. I am also sorry to tell you but I don't sell my guitars. I wish you luck in finding your guitar in the future.
oh what fun Im going to have setting up my dtuna lol. honestly everything up to the intonation is fine but that part is going to suck lol.
@@cmstudios11 that thing is finicky.
We were all LIED to as kids. Kahler is the superior product. There is no argument. ...my wife doesn't appreciate the half-hard brass, though.
is this different from the regular 2300 series in anyway beyond the signature on there?
Nope, signature and color are the only differences. It does have a brass cam and steel rollers but you can get that on a regular 2300 at no charge. That is why this costs the same as a 2300.
@@REXYLAB Thanks for the info. So the black is a different black on the KK version compared to the black 2300?
Looks like a Carvin DC 127T but mine has a wilkie trem. Does your guitar have active pickups via push pull volume?
It is amazing that the size of the block can be adapted!
That’s like Col. Sanders having lunch at Church’s lol
@@andymartinhimself it kind of is.
I assume it would fit in an older RGT42dxfm?..the edge III is not fantastic.. where do you order the Steeler Pro and nut?
@@bjstein4242 the link below. The locking nut will be added to the order automatically at no additional charge. In order for it to fit an Ibanez you have to either get the blunt fatty or the Godiva option. Let them know in the notes it’s for an Ibanez so the correct studs are included.
Love the heavy bar on every kahler I have.
Oh man, more guitar voodoo & mysticism. Listen to that bridges "tone plate" ring!

Hey Rexy
@@hadleymanmusic it’s been a while, how are you?
Do you make one for a seven string (RG7621). I have a Steeler on my 92 USA BC Rich.
@@Jrokk85 not yet.
Man, all this stuff makes me real upset I can't get my paycheck from my job, lol.
Also any additional routing required? I recall someone saying something about symmetrical vs asymmetrical with respect to the Steeler vs OFR or stock bridge. Any comment on what that is referring to or whether that is relevant in any way.
@@gregkirton9598 I saw that too and that person is a dope. The Steeler fits almost every double locking Floyd Rose style recessed route. It won’t fit the Schaller double locking bridge (not the lockmiester, it will fit that) with the short string lock screws. It also won’t fit a JT6 route because their plate is a different dimension. The only actual Floyd Rose route I have seen it be slightly too big for is warmoth, and that is just slightly. It will drop right into an Ibanez edge route. There are many people that want Kahler to fail and will tell any lie they can just to try to make it happen. So far I haven’t seen one complaint that had any truth to it whatsoever. And that idiotic symmetrical comment was pure idiocy.
Thank you sir!
How does the sustain compare when using the Steeler professional equipped with the Godiva brass block vs the auto-latch?
@@gregkirton9598 when the Auto-Latch is engaged it has more resonance and sustain. When it is disengaged the difference is minimal. Both blocks are meant for completely different purposes so you have to weigh the pros and cons. However, the Auto-Latch steeler will not fit an Ibanez guitar, yet.
Again thank you for the heads up on this as I’ve been toying with ordering the Steeler Pro with Autolatch for my Ibanez RG. I really like the Auto Latch on my Kahler Killer that is such a sweet setup. I’ll do a bit of research on the studs for the LoTRS and hopefully can just use the special Kahler studs as opposed to pulling and replacing the stock bushings.
Was especially tempted when you all were doing the 10% off sale for the end of year!
Yes! Been waiting on a video like this! While my Ibanez RG has the LO-TRS (not nearly as good/desirable as the Edge) I’m hopeful there is enough similarities here and/or questions answered regarding installing a Steeler Pro in a recessed route (low profile?).
@@gregkirton9598 it fits the route. I don’t know if the low trs uses M8 1.25 studs but if it does our special studs for Ibanez guitars will fit. If not you will have to pull the bushings and install our studs and bushings.
I was stationed in Germany when the Jem came out. I was at session music involved off, trying to justify the price of the Jem over the 550 in laser blue.
