So the book has an error?
I know that. The vintage Strat style bridge that was installed after is probably a Kahler. Kahler also did some non-locking Strat bridges and I think one of those is on guitar now or it was swapped back to original bridge since retirement of the guitar. I highly doubt that the original production Fender Strat bridge is on the guitar. Tremolo arm is also not something that you can get from Fender.The Kossoff strat never had a Kahler, but it did have a Rockinger system installed for the first part of the World Slavery Tour. It was removed before the tour ended. The headstock still shows the holes drilled for the locking nut.
I believe the book is wrong on this.

The bootleg has been on YT for at least 12 years now:Dave looked so cool with his black Strat. By the way, the video was uploaded only eleven days ago.
I've never seen a non-locking Kahler bridge that looks exactly like a Standard Fender 6 point Vintage Tremolo, I seriously doubt they ever produced one. Also, the standard tremolo arm from a Kahler 2300 series tremolo fits into a regular strat's tremolo without modifications (I have one in my Strat in fact). I'm pretty sure the one in Dave's Kossoff is either the original, or some aftermarket one that's identical (visually) to the original bridge.I know that.

At least in the late 80's I think the Kossoff had some non-locking version of an aftermarket bridge with brass parts IIRC. Could have been swapped back since.
Then, it's indeed a mistake. But I remember vivirdly that Kossoff had a vintage Fender type trenolo with brass saddles at some point in the late 80s and an extra long tremolo arm, that is still on the guitar.I've never seen a non-locking Kahler bridge that looks exactly like a Standard Fender 6 point Vintage Tremolo, I seriously doubt they ever produced one.

Here's a 1989 Kahler Catalogue for anyone who's interested in taking a gander.
