Hipshots require a ton of routing, has really high string tension, and doesn't seem to have as much range. The Kahler seems to be much better. It has more range, requires minimal routing, and has much less string tension. I'm not impressed with the sustain on either, but I'm using slipstone nuts from Stewmac. The brass or graphite may be better. |
