duane v Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've never really been a big Melodymaker fan' date=' but that particular guitar looks different in a good way with that bridge...that IS a Kahler, yes? Is that a direct replacement, or did you have to route for it?[/quote'] thanx[cool] It's a 1983 Gibson branded Kahler made for hard tail bridge applications.... Routing is required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Looks great - but even though I'm older than the trem tailpiece that I ain't seen anything like it. Does it hold tune pretty well? Any probs with that? The rest of the guitar looks like a great idea to me for playing a wide range of stuff... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
