svl Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Wow, somebody's putting a Kahler in a Bound & Crowned. Hmm, looks like a 1980 if I'm not mistaken. Beautiful top, too.Bet there'll be some major bitchin' (in addition to Bubs) on the ol' boards tonight...
kizanski Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 So, someone in THIS fucking millenium had you rout a vintage Sunburst for a Kahler.Is that what you're telling me??
tobereeno Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 cherry red, like the backs of those Sunbursts? I just can't envision it, although that is one of my favorite trans reds.and what's with the EIGHT mini-toggle holes...??
murkat Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 So, someone in THIS fucking millenium had you rout a vintage Sunburst for a Kahler.Is that what you're telling me??well, was not easy for me to take the router to it, and I have done it before many moons ago. And have de kahlered a few.But, it is the clients wish. The clients guitar. I respect that.cherry red, like the backs of those Sunbursts? I just can't envision it, although that is one of my favorite trans reds.Toby, yeah. If have to say publicly, yes. Seeing the black top, with the black binding and the cheater scrape. A trans red would set if off the hook.Come take a look sometime, its curing a bit.
kizanski Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 The clients guitar......should be taken from him.
Thundernotes Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 So, someone in THIS fucking millenium had you rout a vintage Sunburst for a Kahler. Is that what you're telling me?? It's taken 26 years, but I suddenly feel vindicated. Me likey. There - I said it. Guess mine wasn't "vintage" at the time. Just "Modern-Vintage".
RichRS6 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Not something I would want to do to a nice looking Burst (not a particular fan/user of any trems) but it already has a damaged neck socket which means it's lost a whole heap of it's value anyway so if thats what the owner wants to do it's his call.
murkat Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 ^ there it is, right there. spot on.The neck heal has a bad seperation from neck to tenon.Pinned to stabilize.There will be more on that later.

cmatthes Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Regardless of what people think about the Kahler, I'll add that that is one of the most beautiful sunburst jobs I've seen on a Sunburst. Nice! I also get a little tingly feeling when Jay says "custom work"...
kizanski Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Regardless of what people think about the Kahler, I'll add that that is one of the most beautiful sunburst jobs I've seen on a Sunburst.I agree.All the more reason not to screw a 4"x4" hunk of shit on top of it.Neck break or not, that's going too far.
murkat Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 you guys did not even notice the H button....over shadowed by the Kahler install...
zenmindbeginner Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 More of the magic. You just have to marvel at this stuff... Wow!
bubs_42 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 you guys did not even notice the H button.... over shadowed by the Kahler install... I did just because I was wearing mine on my shirt that day. It has turned out to be a nice little conversation piece.
cmatthes Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 J.Something cool and German came in the mail today...really nice and it'll be heading to Nashville by the weekend along with a few other nifty bits...

BCR Greg Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I refuse to install Kahlers on vintage guitars....period. HACKERY.I love ya, Jay, but that's just wrong.
tobereeno Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I refuse to install Kahlers on vintage guitars....period. HACKERY.I love ya, Jay, but that's just wrong.I wouldn't kahler a guitar either, but that's for the customer to judge, not you.
hamerhead Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I'm with Greg - the Kahler is a stomach-turner. Like putting a Floyd on a '59 LP. Or chicken on pizza.
bubs_42 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Hawaiian, BBQ, Chicken Pizza is awsome! Didn't Greg put a wraptail on a Sunburst (Aceburst)? Its a different bridge but the same kinda mod none the less. Hell I like to rip the Dimarzio's out and put Duncan's in. Its not original but it works for me. It pains me to see that happen to a Sunburst but its not my call.
MCChris Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I refuse to install Kahlers on vintage guitars....period. HACKERY. I love ya, Jay, but that's just wrong. Sometimes, small business owners have to make difficult decisions. Ultimately, it boils down to this:
