Success - Thank you!  I have ordered the parts from Bob at Kahler.

Greetings! I bought a partial Kahler, and need three Saddle Clamp Plates to make it functional.  Whammyparts.com does not have any in stock. If you can suggest another source, please let me know. I have drawn a circle around a Saddle Clamp Plate, so you can see which parts I need. See the...

Hi Murkat!  I'm replacing the conventional nut on my guitar (it has a nut and a String Lock plate instead of a Floyd-style locking nut),  but thanks for the reminder that Kaher parts are still available.

Hello, Mr. Terrific! Yes, it has a factory Kahler and a string clamp behind the nut - I replaced the string clamp, and it still won't stay in tune, so it is time for a new nut. I put a Graphtech nut and locking tuners on my main Strat, and it stays in tune as well as any Kahler or Floyd guitar...

Greetings, old friends! My favorite Hamer - a 1985 Phantom A7 - has been played enough that I'm having trouble keeping it in tune, because I've worn out its THIRD nut :)  The first one was on it new, the second one was put on it one day when I happened to be near Alrington Heights, and the...

It is on eBay, with a low starting price, and no reserve :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-USA-4-Digit-Hamer-Standard-Guitar-with-original-case-NO-RESERVE-/111981400201?

Call it TV Yellow - that is the traditional color for Juniors/Specials.

The lacquer used back then darkened and burnished a bit with age - it looks great on woodgrain finishes, but can have an unfortunate effect on some guitars with this particular finish.

You, too!

Thanks, Bobby! There have been many that I've sold over the years that I feel the same way about.    From what I remember, I bought the guitar around 1999 - does that sound right?

No need to apologize!  There is a rout under the bridge (all non-Floyd type Kahlers required a rout). The original bridge and tailpiece were not included when I bought it.   The guitar came to me with this bridge and tailpiece installed on it, and the kahler was in the case. I put the kahler...

Yes - someone must have preferred the balance of the guitar with the strap button in that position.  Thanks for asking about that - I've added it to the description.  

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-USA-4-Digit-Hamer-Standard-Guitar-with-original-case-NO-RESERVE-/111981400201? No Reserve.  The auction will not be ended early. 1980 (ish?) 4 digit Standard, with a great top.  This one looks like a flametop from pretty much every direction - see the pics...

That must be one of the most neck-heavy guitars ever made (not that someone would be buying it for comfort)

As a teaser for the MCCHRIS pictures, here are a couple more from last weekend:
