What's not needed?

I'm assuming the carbon fiber binding on the images in the referenced post.

in a TTK youtube interview with the president or CEO or whoever he is, he mentioned it was just something that got ahold of, and wanted to try out. Not necessarily a part of a larger roll-out of the feature...at least not then.

Pretty close...

If any of you are into neon green Ironbirds you might want to check their social media pages for the pics.

I like it. Although, I'm more into B.C. Richs' more extreme shapes like the Beasts' and Warlocks', I do like that Eagle.

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

It's not sick AF.

I mean it does look like it’s sick and might leak fluids if you press too hard.

The eagle is my 2nd favorite BC shape, after mockingbird...but it's a distant second.

 

[Cynicanal]

I dig the Eagle. It's not as cool as a lot of their other shapes (I'd put the Beast, Ironbird, Mockingbird, Warlock, Bich, Draco, Speed V, or Scythe ahead of it any day), but it's still cool.

Pass on the ugly Kahler swap.

Unless you're a Kahler super fan, then have at it.

I'm ambivalent toward Kahlers I'm just concerned one day that retrofit is going to just rip out of the face

Idk this just seemed cooler than geting a PRO-X and taking the Bigsby off

Kind of related Fernandes MG 80 X's are pretty accessible to me right now too (if TC Gakki is even able to ship to the USA or I'll have to pay a gorillion in duties)

 

[Spicypickles]

I would, I love the eagle shape and kahlers aren’t that big a deal, IMO

 

[Hollowway]

kahlers aren’t that big a deal, IMO

Knowing a guitar has a trem, only to find out it's a kahler is like a dating site telling you it's found your ideal mate, only to have your ex pop up onscreen.

 

[Spicypickles]

P*ssy’s p*ssy my friend, you once enjoyed that sweet nectar, another dip won’t hurt. Not marriage material, but you can live with it.

 

[zappatton2]

I dunno, I had a guitar with a Kahler, quite liked it, and I found it easier to restring than a Floyd. Still love Floyds of course, but I quite like the Kahler.

 

[Cynicanal]

The big downside to the Kahler is that it limits what strings you can use, unless you're willing to break out the soldering iron every string change to solder the ball-ends tighter. If your preferred strings work with it, it's great.

 

[Spicypickles]

Hmmm, never had an issue, always went with daddarios

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Whether you like Kahlers or not, that install leaves much to be desired. Function is probably decent, but if you're going to put all the work in, might as well plug it the right way. I don't get it.
