Abel Axe is happy to announce that we will be using Kahler bridges exclusively on our new 2009
models. "The marriage of the Kahler bridge and the Abel Axe is perfect" said Mike Delaney,
founder of Delaney Guitars and exclusive builder of Abel Axe. "Because the Abel Axe body is
only one inch thick, we knew we would have to come up with something unique to allow us to
put a tremolo on this guitar. The Kahler is a flat mount bridge and works perfectly!"

We should have our new models in production by August. We're very excited to be bringing you a
new model with new features like Moses Graphite necks and Kahler bridges. We're also working
closely with a few well known rockers on signature models. More to come!
