Steinberger Guitar Piezo review pt2

[JamesLimborg]

I have been making BOSS GT-10 patches using a 64-band spectrum analyzer and I can appreciate wanting a guitar that supports a full frequency response. The only problem I see using a piezo pickup is you are stuck with the sound it produces at the bridge location; Perhaps EMG (or other pickup Manufacturers) could make their EMG-89 (single and dual-coil pickup) support a full frequency response. I hope someday they will.

[JamesLimborg]

continued: Often when making BOSS GT-10 patches I have to push up low-bass frequencies from 20Hz to 150Hz and high-treble frequencies from 6,000Hz to 20,000Hz with a graphic/parametric EQ; Doing so also pushes up the noise floor; If a guitar had full frequency pickups installed, the low bass and high treble frequencies would be much louder and I wouldn't have to push up those frequencies nearly as much (keeping that noise floor down where it belongs);

[JamesLimborg]

continued: End result would be a much cleaner (lower noise) sound in that situation. If a person doesn't like hearing those extra low-bass and high-treble frequencies that could easily be removed with a high-pass/low-pass EQ feature on the guitar or amp/effects-processor. But having full frequency pickups would be one nice feature to have; A feature I would appreciate. A lot of guitars only have 22-frets, but I prefer a guitar neck that has 24-frets; It's a nice feature to have as well.

Is it pronounced "pee-azo" or "pie(as in delicious desert)-zo? People say different things and it is really confusing.

[Tordah26]

@hunterlpdc94 Neither. It's Pee-et-zoh

[DylanBStringer91]

Guy On Left: 0:49 I Feel Like Masturbating!!! 0:50 Oh My, We're Still On Camera!!!

Guy On Right: 0:37 I Like It When He Has His Hand Close To My Crotch!!! XD

[darkoanton5]

Sounds like an acoustic electric with the piezo pick up. Nice.

[s4mbor4]

pinky and the brain!!

[GazMaddogJones]

I dont know... to me the guitarist looks like he's screaming "DONT TOUCH MY BALLS" in his head.

[666jony666]

lol skip to 0:49 and watch from there on and look at there faces

[jfalconebmop]

That is the weirdest and funniest guitar showcase video ever!

[5k18a]

They act so funny llke two weirdies haha.

[queteimportaguey]

cool guitars! The future?

[KayJayDK]

0:37 The guitarist is trying not to laugh. he's probably laughing at himself while thinking "This is a bit awkward just looking at nothing"

[IDKSOMTHIN]

They make some awkward videos.

lol

[redspenspinner]

HOW MUCH DO THEY COST

[ontamijo]

Fuck...these guitars are fucking amazing. My friend just got a Steinberger Bass its fucking epic

[NoVanity1]

love the guitars but could you be anymore dull Ned?

[mindhead2005]

Mate - he's Ned Steinberger - he doesn't need to be less dull. He's a God!

:)

[tomfrankly]

this just sounds fantastic.

[robyrobster12]

thats really cool. its an electric guitar that can turn into an acoustic guitar! thats pretty cool

[PbVeritas]

I love that guitar playing guy... Just awesome^^

But to the the guitar: It sounds great, I am sure it plays great, but it is the most ugly guitar I have ever seen... It looks like a baseball bat which got overrun by a car

[ThaigerDon]

I said the EXACT same thing. It plays great, stays in tune, and the bridge on the zt3's are awesome... it's just ugly as fuck dude! It's like looking at a Mercedes without a front bumper... like where the hell is the head on this guitar?! It's weird lookin, that's for sure.

[icedtears9]

i want one of those guitar players, its like a robot zombie.

[ontamijo]

LMFAO!!!

[Ale3ouliz]

how can you tune this guitar????????????

[swiz0r]

You tune it from the bridge.

[dannytango36]

haha the guy with the long hair looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

[XXxMetalShredxXX]

i could imagine the player just biting ned's head right off in the middle of his playing

[daveobri]

Poor old Tom Araya has put on some weight!!lol

[kieranMW684]

That isn't Tom Araya..

[daveobri]

Wow! really? Some people have no cop on.

[mindhead2005]

Dave you HAVE to be Irish with that " cop on" comment!

:)

[daveobri]

lol...yeah, it's a bit of a give away!!

[UnforgivingCritic]

The difference between acoustic and piezo is:

The bass strings of the acoustic guitar sounds like it is made of brass, so it has a "metally" or harder tune...

The Piezo sounds like it has nylon strings instead of brass strings for the bass column.

The Piezo sounds more soft and distinguishly Spanish classical.

[flood81]

great sound, but why do the two of them look like they're doing it at gunpoint? especially death-metal john turturro looks like he got himself a very hard deal...

[Skrewtinizer]

Ned was never a very "excitable" guy! He's one of the nicest people you could know tho.

[gsr200bl]

i love that song that he plays. anyone know what its from???

[darkgrindgo]

man i think its marillion easter..

[P6667]

Piezos are crystals that, when compressed, generate electricity so that when arranged in a pickup system the vibrations from the string oscillate a signal at the same freq. They pinch at the bridge and there's the sound.

Many piezos sound like a nylon acoustic, yet a little muted for me, a high gainy shredder type.

[mazor83]

someone knows what is this Steinberger model?

[mindhead2005]

SS-2F

[rch456789]

amazing acoustic sound.. whats the piezo thing?

[denissymbolic]

steinberger guitars rule, to bad they have that crappy shape

[Warmonger0077]

Steinberger is da man.

[stiiii]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i love itttttttttt

[hallaballa123]

Wow! with piezo, you can trow away your acoustic guitar :P

[jeremychan]

that is one frickin sweet pickup. man the piezos are to die for

[pigglesworth]

What the crap?

[spybreak33]

The guitar player is cool, the salesman too. But overall a bit boringly performed.

[goldmember123]

Its not a saleman haha, its the inventor of the guitar.
