After I make the internet explode by putting a Kahler on a '65 Fender, my next stunt will be grafting a Steinberger TransTrem to a '58 Les Paul Gold Top. I'll chop off the headstock to really make the look complete.
FYI, apparently they did do an Epiphone LP w/ a Steinberger trem, but the cowards did not chop the headstock off.

Give it time. It’ll chop itself off.

Can anyone recommend an equally high-performing cart for less than half the price haha THANXXX
Not sure about your setup, but I have a low-mass tonearm setup that does well with the high compliance of the Grado Gold 3. About $260 last I checked. The Red 3 is about $175, which may be closer to your budget.

You can get them for under $300 from Japan.

The bizarre thing is you can sell your used one on ebay for decent money. I sold a well used one for like $60 last year after I bought a new one. Was completely honest about how much it had been used etc....

Thanks. Wow. I dont get this at all. I'm only in the market for a new one cos I'm convinced the sound has gone a bit muffled on my old one. So someone else is willing to pay me $$ for a worn out cart?

Maybe they're cheaply retipping them or something? If that's even a thing. I dont know what I'm talking about.
