Musician's Friend. Tim from Nevermore had one in '99, I believe. Killer guitar.They did a version with a Floyd. Might have been a Guitar Center run or something. Those might have all been opaque black though.

I remember now, because the model name actually and "MF" in it, which was always confusing to me because I wasn't sure if it stood for Musician's Friend or Marty Friedman.Musician's Friend. Tim from Nevermore had one in '99, I believe. Killer guitar.
I'm going to need a certificate of authenticity for this celebrity owned guitar hang tag...
I've always wanted to own one since I saw the 98 BCR KKV with it. I got to try one out for a few minutes many many years ago at DCGL on an Esp Hanneman. The one thing that stood out to me that I liked was how you could have super low action and still do hard pull ups on the tremolo without pulling the strings down on to the frets like with a Floyd. Plus the idea of having the action adjustable for each saddle separately. And easier intonation. Adjustable string spacing. On paper it's just a better design but for some reason Floyds just seem better irl for some reason.It's basically a regular fixed bridge for the most part, nothing too complicated to figure out.
Grub closest to the roller is action, screw past that is intonation, and last grub is string spacing. Loosen to adjust the latter two, lock in place when set.
Kahlers are overly complicated, can be made shoddy, and need a bunch of regular maintenance to keep humming along, but the trade off is they're quite adjustable and pretty forgiving if you're not sure what to do.
They had the right idea, separating the action and intonation from the business end, as far as trems go, it's just a shame they sort of just stopped refining the design like 35 years ago.

Did you see the new Hantung Floyd they're introducing? They do exactly that.For intonation, you still need to move the string out of the way, and you still need to loosen and carefully adjust the saddle, much like a Floyd. I always thought they should have used a smaller hex screw and offset it.

I'm sure it will cost One Billion Dollars, though. </drevil>
Yeah, Crooks has one, but the guitar it's going on is in limbo.Yeah, looks cool. The ABM Katana has had all those features and more for like a decade now, it's just they only make them to order it seems and is only available in black and chrome 6-string, definitely cheaper though.
My USA did not. It was routed for HSS.anyone know if Adrian Smiths have swimming pool routes? The specs seem really good for the price but I’ve never tried one and don’t know what the neck profile is like
Not a bad price at all for something that's upper-tier unobtanium.
I'm sure the board would darken up nicely. But I have to ask, "why spec a custom with no sharkies and rosewood?" 1993 was a different world, I guess.
Fun fact I actually played that, the guy is somewhat local (Jersey vs Brooklyn) so I went over to his area via train and played it in the back of his pickup truck in a Panera parking lot lol. I didn't notice the frets being terrible when I played it but I'm sure it would be different if I actually owned it. Just didn't feel that "spark" I look for when keeping guitars(maybe because of the frets?)....he actually said he was thinking about getting it all setup/cleaned up and maybe just keeping it but looks like he decided to keep selling.Please for the love of God someone buy this and help those poor frets
Naisuuuu
