Rebuilt a kahler….

[jack butler]

There's a set screw under the fine tuners. I just set one up for a guy where it's blocked out.

That screw makes it a fixed bridge, not dive only. Not sure why you would want it dive only though. My Kahler guitars don't detune the other strings when bending notes, and I thought that was the only reason to make a Floyd dive only?

You can dive a little bit, but the screw gets in the way so yes it's essentially blocked. I did it at his request because he complained about:

• Tuning Stability
• Locking nut being unusable and getting in the way of the truss rod
• Roller saddles rusted in place
• Saddles themselves rusted to that swing-arm so that when he did dive bomb they would get stuck in the up position.

I hate that the intonation screw is directly under the string, the same as Floyds, but the action height is also under the string. From a tech/luthier experience, there are infinitely more things that frustrate me about a Kahler than any other trem out there.
