My experience with Kahler 2218

I've always been about guitar players, who use a floating tremolo, and use it well as a tool to enhance and spice up their performance. The problem is, that basically there are very few options, if you want a decent wide range tremolo, which stays in tune and feels nice to operate with. What I like with Kahler is, that due to the rollers system, the string remains at the exact same measure, and height above the pickup all the time, no matter how hard you're dive-bombing, Dime-squealing, etc. This is essential, because it doesn't change the harmonic content of the string, and therefore the tone itself, so I find this very important and cool feature. Also, being a girl, playing on 8-string guitar, I need something, that I don't need to push with my both hands, and Kahler is the exact solution for it - it is the softest tremolo I've ever known. Honestly, the tremolo bar on my 8-string, tuned in standart tuning, feels softer, than the Floyd Rose bar on a 7-string, tuned whole step down - it's hard to demonstrate, but if you want to see me doing so on skype - just ask! :) Another nice feature is that the setting options of the Kahler tremolo are way more versatile, than the other tremolo systems I know - besides the standard length adjustiments, you've got an individual saddle height adjustiment, which gives you the opportunity to adjust the string height to the exact radius of the neck; also you've got options to set up the spacing between the string saddles, according to your preferences, and all of these operations are made by simple hex-key actions, not requiring to take off the strings or other hardcore action, involving serious engineering knowledge. One more major advantage is, that the installing process of the Kahler tremolo doesn't require carving out 1/6 of the wood of the guitar body, but just a small routing on the top, which is essential, according to the concept "More wood - more tone and sustain." Also, the customer service is perfect, and this is very important factor, you know ;)
