I was looking around last time for a Luke on sale, on a local Website in Europe. A guy butchered a Black Luke 3 HSS, removing the original vibrato, to put a Kahler one, including removing laquer around, carving the body..

For god's sake why.. ?
After that he says that he has been dissapointed on how fragile the wood on the body is.. :mad:

Oh, and he sell is for 1800€, so that would be 1900 bucks, or trade against Vintage Gibson SG in good shape, no reissue... LMAO. This one is one the website for a long long time...

OUCH!!! If he didn't like it then he should have sold it...Oh well
 
I can't get my head around that. This is now unsellable, or for pieces.. What he has done is, well ruin it, comprehensively.
 
Fragile wood my foot. Those wood working skills are about as good as the digital photo skills. His price is just as deluded as his opinion of his photo and woodwork skills.
 
The Kahler trems are way better than your standard Floyd. But you're supposed to carefully route the body, not go at it with a chisel :o
 
OMG! Did he use a blunt Chisel to make that Cavity?
He should at least have asked a Luthier to do it. You could remove all the Lacquer, close the Butchered Trem Crater with a Piece of Alder, sand it......
But for that Price? that's just ridiculous.
So Sad to see this Beautiful Instrument being ruined :(
 
My ass, a german fliyd or even gotoh or even some of the lower grade floyds are solid as a rock and have much better stability than a kahler
