diablo175 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 If it has a Kahler, you might as well put that thing in the fireplace and look for what you really want. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikarateboy Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 My understanding is the original shop that made them and was next store to Arlington Heights factory recently (within last few years) said they still have the drawings and could make them but I think the investment to do a run far exceeds one or two pieces but you never know. For someone really interested it might be worth a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce919 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have drawings for the bridge, if any one wants the pdf or cad files. Took one from an early 80's special & just reversed engineered it. We need some one that know plating better to give that call out. I know you will need a copper layer over the brass before you nickel plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Sounds like if everyone bought one or two (or eight) it might be financially feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonge Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It's easy... It's just a pound of brass milled out and plated. Go for it. Make a few. It's a cakewalk. Such a simple part. Nuttin' to it... hahaha...   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The auction listing has a Make Offer option. One can always see what kind of deal can be worked out. One should also shed a tear for the Vector getting molested after 36 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its never going to be an unmolested guitar, so if you don't want to put the money in it and it sound good throw it back together and play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
