Recommended Posts

Looks like It has an early G&L trem, but...with sustain block style saddles?

That’s a whacky whammy!! Spare parts boredom and butchery abounds and surrounds that guitar!!

That looks a lot like the 1982 Special I bought from someone here, but as bad as my memory is anymore I can't remember who I bought it from....

Different from the GC one, but the top and color are very similar (I knew I had better pictures somewhere).....81 Whammy Special_0099.JPG100_0486.jpg

It wasn't as bad as that giant glob of crap looks - whoever installed the Kahler did a super clean job, and it actually still felt like a hardtail, with none of the rubberiness you get from a whammy. By my records, that's an '81 with a great flame top that was hard to get a good picture of. Memories are that it was the best Kahler-equipped guitar I'd ever owned, but it's been gone now for 17 years. Time flies.
