cmatthes Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 That was the typical format for the Blitz guitars from that era, but for the flame veneer top. I have seen several, and my local dealer in NC (Sam Moss) had a sunburst one (no binding) and a double bound Tangerine-finished one in his shop during the mid/late 1990s. David Barker may recall one or both of those...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it if you're into them.. I personally think they're ugly and bulky, & "for me" If I were to spend that much money, I would prefer not to have one... he obviously didn't like it because he replaced the original tremolo with the fixed bridge version that sits on top... leaving a hidden stash box underneath... Please accept my apologies for those who own or play guitars that are Kahler equipped... it was not my original intention to denigrate the product as I have owned at least two guitars with Kahler trems... reading back, I made a insensitive comment, they are just not my personal preference these days that's all~
tbonesullivan Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Original Lock nut and Kahler in included. Definitely a bargain compared to what Standards have been going for lately.
