P-90's, the lower-end Kahler (Flyer?) and that knob selector switch? Hard pass.

Nice top though!

That looks like one of the earlier Kahlers that were used on Gibsons, not the Flyer.

Yeah, but at least it's way over-priced.

I think we've seen that one before? The Kahler is after market. Some dumb ass did that. Totally ruined a very cool Standard.

You're probably right. It seems like the amazing finish is a strike against the guitar, since it would be nearly impossible to de-Kahler it and match the finish. At least that's my guess.

This.  If memory serves it started as a special order for Willcutt.  It's been for sale in Warner Springs for a very long time.

You would think by the mid-late 00's that we as a society would have EVOLVED to the point

where we don't do this crazy shit anymore.     

[cmatthes]

Not this shit again…

 

It’s one of the Willcutt Special Runs, and either this or the last owner killed the value with that stupid fucking aftermarket Kahler. 
 

Good luck, meth-head…

Especially on one with a top like that one!

SAVAGE!

I'd love to have it, I just wouldn't want to pay for it.

If it's at all like the one that was on my college buddy's Gibby Explorer, it's still a piece of shit. He bought it from HOG in Rochester NY and it could NOT be made to maintain tuning. At all. Probably what steered me away from Kahlers back in the late 80's.

Just my .02 but make it 2300 or 7300 Series or leave it alone (or put a 1996T, Original Floyd or a Schaller Lockmeister on it! )

But is it worth pursuing or not? 🫣

At 1/4 the listed price, possibly.  I'd probably still walk away.

[HSB0531]

Hey, I got an idea:  Buy it for 1/8th the price citing the butchery/asshat-ery done, remove the offending trem, add a standard bridge and a...wait for it...4th P-90 to fill in the rest!  Add a 16-way rotary switch and...err...never mind 🤣
