Honestly, having played Floyd, Kahler is superior in every way, smooth when divebombing or pulling up, easy on the hand when you palm mute, the sustain is strong and deep especially that there is no huge cavity on the back of the guitar. And then you can turn it into a killer fixed bride by turning a screw on the rear side of the bridge. The market is flooded with Floyded guitars, it's time a brand takes a better move and offers Kahler
Agreed! You forgot the best part though...the fine tuners have waaaaay more range so you rarely have to loosen the nut! That alone is worth the entire thing. Shitty fine tuners are the Floyd's Achilles heel.
My wife let me buy the Dean select multiscale 8 kahler model last night as my birthday/Christmas present I'm so excited I've never had an 8 string or a Kahler before so I'm ready for this!
Hello Dean, would you be able to make this without the kahler bridge? Just string thru bridge? Your concept of fanned frets is very good, and different from other companies. We just need this to be more affordable.
@@EulogyfortheAngels I think these will have stainless steel frets, considering the price point of these is about $2,500. Or so says they’re website. Guess we’ll have to see! Gorgeous guitars though
@@AzathothsAlarmClock wow, interesting. Thanks for the short wiki explainer. My understanding is that smaller scale length increases tension though... Now I'm really confused
@@DoubtingThomas333 No, smaller scale length decreases tension, try a Gibson, epiphone, or mustang and then try a dean, Jackson, Esp, etc, much greater tension. A bass guitar is so long in comparison because it’s tuned so low it needs a lot of extra tension to be playable.

these are monsters. I love them so much
It’d be cool if Dean just sent ya one to be on the channel
Cool to see something entirely unique and new.
No other major line is doing anything as close to creative as this line-well done.
Agile guitars have been doing the multiscale + Kahler thing for probably a decade.

8 strings is very cool! I'm glad!
Dean is a very cool brand with its own special spirit!
I hope that you guys eventually make a budget 8 string ML. I would love to have one!!
Damn, Chris jumps ship A LOT
Well, I have a mighty need for that ML now!
Respect to Dean
That ML is a beast! Great looking guitars.

I wish more well known guitar brands made guitar with the kahler trem like Jackson or bc rich like they used to do back then
Does the tremelo bar have that awesome smooth, fluid and effortless feel older Kahlers models like the 2300 were famous for ?
Does this come with a case? I love the Exile 8 so much
Case is included.
A quick question, there are some manufacturers that doesn't specify nowadays about fret material, these are ss or nickel frets?
Pretty sure they’re nickel. Most manufacturers state when they’re stainless steel because it’s premium.

@@EulogyfortheAngels You are correct! They are jumbo nickle!!
Damn i wish i had the money for this
How far down can you dive that bridge? The high e looks like it’s almost touching the body
You can dive bomb that bad boy, pretty low!!! :-)
@@DeanGuitarsVideos Lower than a Floyd Rose can...?
i think it sounds horrible, but the Kahler trem is cool.
So the angled frets these days are designed for player ergonomics, right?

@@AzathothsAlarmClock Correct!! That way you can get different scale lengths on one guitar.
😎🤙
Imagine a 10 string version. That will be BRUTAL
