Agreed.  ...love the RED STARS on this model.

Hey Adam, thanks for those suggestions. At this time there is no plan but I see how that could be a cool collector's guitar.

Hi Cleansed, We won't rule out doing something in the future but currently there are no plans for any new JH models.

Hi David, you really would have to experience this bridge and compare it to a FR to know truly what the difference is. It mostly comes down to feel. Both bridges do the same thing - they allow you to pull up or down in pitch. The difference is that the Kahler system feels "softer" or "slinkier" than a FR bridge (if that makes any sense). Some people like the stiffer feel of a FR bridge system. However, you can customize a FR and put softer (lower tension) springs, or remove one of the 3 springs to give the system a softer feel. The amount of pitch you can raise the strings is another big difference. The design of the Kahler uses a cam to rotate the strings on a fixed height roller saddle, so you can basically stretch the strings and pitch much higher which is sort of what it's known for. A Floyd on the other hand, maxes out because the strings will eventually touch the pickups or frets due to the way the bridge pivots on the studs. Both systems are great. It's more a matter of personal preference.

Hi Trevor, Thanks for your suggestions.
