Replacement parts for Kahler Spyder locking tremolos

As an HM-Strat owner, you may have spent months searching the Net in vain, looking for replacement parts for Kahler Spyder tremolos. This page is to let HM Strat owners know where they can get those elusive parts for their Kahler Spyder locking trem. After years of dormancy, Kahler International appears to be doing business again. Visit the Kahler factory tour page on Neal Moser's site*, where you can see boxes upon boxes of Kahler bridges and parts. Makes an HM-owner's mouth water at the prospect of shiny new parts, doesn't it?

Tired of that allen key spinning round and round? Spyder parts available!

The former Axeparts.net appears to be doing business as Kahler USA, handling the "sales and marketing worldwide" for Kahler. One of their representatives recently checked in with the following links for Spyder bridge parts and Spyder string locks. So while their supplies last, there will be no need for that pair of pliers, no more cursing when changing your guitar strings, and no more praying that the Kahler Gods will smile and grant you just one more string change pleeeeease before that last good allen bolt strips out completely.

It is rumored that Kahler may start making the Spyder trem again; one can only hope that they will care about their customers enough to produce reserve parts as well (but I'm not holding my breath).

If your trem looks like this:
