You can remove the parentheses now, Beal ;)

Welcome 0^6. I'm not an electric player, but there are many here who'll give you an opinion.

I didn't say the opinions would be valid or useful.

Welcome 000000
If you could post a pic or describe "she needs adjustements (i have to change the floyds tunes the neck or change it i dont know)" a little more.

In general, the two-humbucker w/Kahler is a nice guitar if it's in good shape. They never had Floyds anything on them, so I'm not sure your's is original, so basically we just need more info to help.

If it isn't all buggered up, I wouldn't sell it. Right now, used guitars aren't fetching any kind of a decent price if you are selling. Even if you want to sell it, I would wait for a few months to see if you can get a better price.

the neck is the original SN 012552
the floyd is a Kahler eflyers SN usapat4457201 0 black body 2 hum.... dont know the mark SN 1415-Z

the floyd problem is that i broke the piece where the strings are holding and she needs the volume and tone button(she hasnt been domaged)

The 1415-5 = Ultra GS - Black
Kahler Flyer = Kahler Flyer Tremolo.

"Floyd" is short for "Floyd Rose" which is another brand of Tremolo. Kahler is the brand Ovation uses and it's kindofa Mac vs PC thing so I wouldn't confuse them too much in public if I were you :)

The SN won't date it and is rather meaningless, they were built in the early 80's.

If you can send picture of broken part to mileskb at aol.com I have spare Kahler parts. Is it the little black piece that holds the ball of the string? By the way, not a fun part to get at.

Spare knobs are easy to come by, I have them as well, however if you play plan on playing a lot, it would be worth putting metal ones on. The knurled ones are great.
