WARNING – COUNTERFEIT KAHLER PRODUCTS BEING SOLD
Buyer Beware
Counterfeit Kahler products are being sold online, mainly from China and Israel. These sites advertise a “used genuine Kahler” and then send a counterfeit unit to the unfortunate buyer.
Do You Know How to Spot a Fake Kahler?
Counterfeit Kahler
- If it’s a “new Kahler 4300 X-Trem,” IT’S A FAKE. The real Kahler 4300 X-Trem was sold to guitar manufacturers for installation in guitars in overseas factories. They have never been available for individual resale. An actual used Kahler X-Trem will have lines scratched on the cam from the strings.
- If it doesn’t say Kahler on it at all or if the Kahler name on the unit is nothing more than a decal or a sticker, IT’S A FAKE. Kahler always engraves or stamps the Kahler trademark into the metal frame. There are no “unbranded” Kahler units or prototypes out there.
- If it is metric, IT’S A FAKE. All Kahler hardware is made with SAE measurements (inches and fractions of inches), not metric.
- Genuine Kahler arms have heavy, solid brass tips screwed on. No heavy tip, IT’S A FAKE.
- Kahler has no distributors in China or Israel.
