As far as I can remember EBMM never used a Kahler cam-type bridge as standard equipment on any guitar. Maybe they used a fulcrum-style double locking Kahler on the Steve Morse model back in the mid-late 80s since Steve had one or two with that type of Kahler but they may have been personal guitars modded for him and not available to the public.

It is this one right?

Ernie Ball Music Man Silhouette Guitar*Limited Edition* on eBay (end time 02-Aug-09 18:39:46 BST)

I'm 99% sure this was NOT standard, haven't heard of a limited edition with a kahler trem.

but it sure looks nice

 

[Smellybum]

that's an awful used price - you know for £150 more you can get a new one in 5 uk dealers???

Don't do it fella!!

 

[MusicManJP6]

but it sure looks nice

For sure!

That's a special version if I recall! I saw a few of them being sold in the USA and the UK, back a few years ago. Because of the Kahler, it's a bit more expensive than the normal version. This version also has a breaker control as well as the coil tap spec. That's a really nice guitar!

 

[Keithf]

yep thats the one

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I agree with Smelly - its seems quite pricey.

 

[Keithf]

legit

does anyone know if its factory??or modded?

 

[Smellybum]

does anyone know if its factory??or modded?

don't know for certain (only CS will) but it looks like it's been tinkered with - that a push coil splitter on the pickguard??

 

[Keithf]

modded

i think it is,I'm going to look a the petrucci but a'm also fancying the silo

 

[luv]

they sure weren't shy with the pictures...

 

[wolf5150]

Isn't a Kahler surface mount ??

Why the rear Trem cavity ?

 

[YtseJam92]

Can I just ask a question? Why under the brand does it say Ibanez? Unless i'm missing a key point here, I though it was a Musicman...

 

[GWDavis28]

It looks like it's been modded in my opinion.

Looks modded to me as well. In some of the close ups of the Kahler you can kind of see the original trem rout. The very fact that there is a trem cover on the back of the guitar suggests that it had the EBMM trem. As someone pointed out earlier, Kahler springs are vertically mounted into the body and would not require the back routing.
