Cboss Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Looking for a Kahler 2300 tremolo, the one that installs with four wood screws, ideally chrome, but what do you have?

scottcald Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 The Kahler doesn't get enough credit in my book. OT, but if you're interested in Kahler, Rexylab on YouTube has been doing some videos about Kahler including an interview with Gary Kahler. It's pretty interesting.
RobB Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 I like the 2300. To me, it has a Fender crossed with Bigsby-feel. Unique. Great for subtle, warbling chords or feedback sustain. I think many players misunderstood Kahlers and expected them to be more like an OFR. You can do silly/scary whammy tricks (Hanneman/King) with a 2300, but that seems to be the exception.
Cboss Posted October 15, 2023 Author Posted October 15, 2023 I have one at this point and I think it's a brilliant design, and I think it sounds better.. Set it up right once and it's done.. fine tuners actually work, as opposed to trying to use a fine tuner on a Floyd and it pulls everything else out of tune I'm looking forward to getting another on this prototype, but man after that video I'm afraid of getting a fake! Don't really want to chunk out 600 bucks for a brand new one
murkat Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 if your on facebook, there is a kahler group page that is legit, good ppl.
svl Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Emailed you. I do have one in chrome- bar, screws, upgraded rollers, upgraded locking nut and all. I also have a grey 2200 (that mounts with traditional stud posts), a black 2300, bunch of locking nuts, rollers, 2300 plastic shims and the unicorn/hens teeth rare palm bar, if anyone watching is interested. And of course, the 1982 checkerboard finish Hamer Sunburst with 2300 installed. I'm a treasure trove of Kahler goodies...

Did you like it? How did you use it?
svl Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I used it for a couple different effects- nicely and easily imitated a Bigsby for that "surf" sound, did a decent job of "shifting" a chord down and also made it easy to do up pitching. Neat little tool, impossible to find 'em now.

How did you use it? I must have gotten the other one they made. I'd call it indispensable. I use it like a regluar bar mostly, except it doesn't get in the way. Also my 2300 is set up to do some interesting fake pedal steel stuff when you pull up on it . With the palm bar it's right under your pinky. Easy sleazy.

Not trying to convince anyone to not buy the palm bar from @svl, but I just went to Kahler's site and by God, they still make it: https://kahlerusa.com/product/guitar-palm-lever/

I just ordered a black arm tip and a chrome palm bar and a Pro series string lock.
