It has been properly setup and intonated in standard tuning. Being a "Custom Shop Edition" and produced before the Gibson Custom Shop was founded, it's probable that this is a one-off model and whether the Kahler was installed from the factory or not is impossible to tell. That being said, the route has been filled in and partially finished over. Case Details: Original hardshell case. Product condition: Used.
