This vintage ax has the original Kahler Tremelo; I believe these are the finest whammy bars I’ve ever played in my 30+ years of experience. They are much better than later Kahler’s, and put any version of Floyd Rose’s to shame. There is no metal flaking or rust whatsoever on this tremolo. The Red Pearlescent finish has magnificent checking and sparkles nicely! It has wear around the horn and spots on the back. It looks like it’s been relic’d, but that’s real world aging and use. I did add a matched set of screws to the pickguard from a period correct 1983 Ibanez Roadstar to keep the relic’d look cause i lost a couple of screws while experimenting with different pickups.   Original stock pickups, I believe the bridge to be a Dean clone of a DiMarzio Super Distortion and two Dean single coils.  The neck and headstock have not one ding to be accounted for. Entirely clean and smooth.  Neck is straight. Intonation is good. Plays in tune up the neck. Could use a setup for the 5th and 4th strings have a little buzz. A new nut or neck shim would alleviate that.  You can see and hear this guitar in action with a rock/funk organ trio with this private youtube link: (In this clip I’m using 2 Dan Lace single coils and a Lindy Fralin PAF. The Dan Lace’s will be in another auction shortly.. keeping the Lindy Fralin.)
