Les Pauls aren't built for Tremolos, you would have to mutilate the guitar to get it somehow installed in the right angle, you would loose the character of the guitar and it won't work too well...I wouldn't recommend it
The guitar needs to be built for a tremolo from the ground up to get the best out of it. If you really NEED o have a kahler trem on a Les Paul you can buy a Gibson Axcess http://www.thomann.de/de/gibson_les_paul_a...standard_it.htm It's a les paul with a floyd rose tremolo and some other modifications to make it possible to fully use the trem on a Paul --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Feb 12 2009, 07:13 PM) Really? Does it come with an Original Floyd Rose too? There's THIS ONE.(White with Black hardware.) or THIS ONE.(All Black 'Gothic'.) I'm sure I saw a Black 'Signature' Model with silver Hardware on an eBay shop last week, but for the life of me I can't remember whose Signature Model it was!!!  Update:- It was an Alex Lifeson Signature!!!!

Stetsbar. Great alternative to the bigsby if you're doing anything aggresive but IMHO i think it will absolutely destroy the look of your guitar if you want it to look classy. If you don't care about that than i think its quite bad arse

There are some Les Pauls with a Bigsby, and there is this new one that even comes with a Floyd Rose, but if we are talking about a "normal" Les Paul, one that originally didn't have tremolo system, then definitely don't mess with it, as said before, those guitars are not built to have a tremolo.
