Norlin count.

[acstorfer]

Actually both bridges in my Norlins are made by Kahler. Pretty different than Floyd Rose. Kahlers are much easier to maintain and Floyds are better for dive-bombing and the like. Both keep tune excellently.

Here's a pic of my old Axcess to show what a FR looks like compared to a Kahler.

Sorry, pretty bad picture. I really miss that guitar. Oh, don't mind overpaying, I really wanted it and I didn't overpay by a lot. I paid $1,500.00 for it, probably would have got it for $1,200.00 - $1,300.00 if I let the auction continue. For two or three hundred, I am just happy to have my guitar!

I just picked up this Tobacco Burst 1978 Les Paul Custom a few days ago.

She's a beauty!! MONSTER TONE!!!! Killer Players wear. Definitely the most comfortable and best sounding les paul I've owned.

Previous owner was a slide player, he was the original owner, the fretboard looks new, and it had a refret! Amazing condition and only cost me $1500.

I believe the count is at 249. So 249 + 1= 250!

WOW!! That thing has been to hell and back!

Very nice!

True definition of "mojo."
I dig it.

Yup, now I can see the difference, thanks! Your Axis was pretty nice as well. I haven't played one yet. I'm interested in seeing how the tapered neck is. Before the Axis came out, I looked at a couple of Neal Schon models (didn't try them though), but they're outrageous in price.

Having your Guitar is the main thing, no doubt!

My '71 Deluxe, cherry burst. Played / gigged often. Purchased new from Dell Music in Utica, NY. $343.
Refretted 2010, tuners replaced late 70's with gibson deluxes (original equipment).
Input jack replaced.
Pick guard removed and lost back in the 70's.
The rest is all original. Love the tones from those mini humbuckers.

 

[acstorfer]

Oh good God, Utica! I use to live down the street from the beer factory for a few months in the 80's.

Sweet axe, of course I am partial to cherry burst Deluxes though!

Ha! There must be something special about Kahler bridges to us BCR players. Nice custom.

whats BCR mean?

i dont have the kahler on right now. cuz its just not my thing. but i like kahler ALOT better than floyd rose and had no tuning problems

 

[acstorfer]

BCR=BC Rich

My first Kahler came on one of my Rich's. While I'm sure your Warlock doesn't have one, it was just my feeble attempt at humor.
