1984 Gibson Invader w/trem-NEED INFO!!!

Bluzboy66 · 01-10-2008, 12:29 AM

Guys,
Here are pics of an '84 Gibson Invader. What I need to know is, who designed/manufactured the trem unit that's on the guitar???? I'd previously read that it was a Kahler design, available on the Invader guitar for only one year. I need to find an arm for it, and would really like to find out as much info as possible about this trem.

Thanks!,
Mike

As I recall, those were made by Schaller in Germany. They still make the roller bridge. But good luck finding a bar for that thing.

Thanks for the info (so far). Unfortunately, I really don't have any other photos of the entire guitar. It belongs to a customer. I'm merely the repairman that maintains this customer's collection.
