Agile Interceptor question re: the archtop

[troyguitar]

Just how arched is the top on the Agile Interceptor/Septor?

Specifically, does it flatten out enough where the bridge sits to fit a flatmount Kahler on there?

You mean "Carved Top"

I don't believe you can, the cave pretty much starts at the edge of the pickups and behind the bridge, so I don't think it'll sit right.

Don't forget there are two kinds of Kahlers though, the flat-mount and once which specifically is made for arched top guitars. Even the 7 and 8 string versions come in the stud-mount, arch top version Kahler 7227 seven string tremolo system The whole point of the Kahler is to have a trem you can easily mount on almost anything, one reason (in addition to the Floyd patents + exclusive liscence to Kramer) why they were so widely used in the 80s.

Has anyone verified/checked this? I've been wondering myself. This may be lame, but I like the looks of the flat mount much more than the stud.

You can always recess-mount it, but that of course will take more wood out than a regular mount. Still, I think recess-mount Kahlers look badass!
