>Everyone talks about the good feature, "I can take this with me into the airplane", but seems to me this were the good ol´days before 9/11. One can really carry a Steinberger guitar or bass as carry on luggage and do not have problems with security? Awesome to see that many years from the moment this video was made more and more people covet these guitars. Imagine how valuable the original ones will be 50 years from now.
man these guitars are so weird... I TRIED to play 1 at the music store but I didnt even know how to tune it .. those finetuners were locked for some reason.. there was also a large instruction but I thought it was a safer idea to just put it back in the rack :P
After playing a Steinberger, there is nothing tan can replace the experience and joy of thye understanding that this instrument is clearly the most awesome technical improvement since the very birth of the electrical guitar. The guitar can enter a case, go into the plane luggage bin, endure a long trip and come out perfectly tuned.
@KissMeImPunk hey sry, i see now i wrote a bit to hard, i deleted it :-), of course people still play steinbergers and of course they play it cos of sound .... but it doesn't look good X-D ... and where to put Damper unit for two handed tapping :-D
@MundMoriginal I think if anything would encourage me to use a Steinberger it would be Paul Masvidal from Cynic. His looks pretty badass and I'd give aheadless guitar a show.
funny how he credits Eddie ... but not we all know that the Steinberger guitar isn't able to breathe according to Eddie and that makes it inferior to the new EVH guitars ... rotflmao
I own one steinberger. But it is a really cold instrument. It doesn't have a concrete feel, only an ideal one. A gtr player comes up with new songs because of the warmth of the instrument. When it comes to replaying a song (or a solo) the small things matter. Not good for a first guitar.
I bought a fretless Synapse bass online without ever having played one just because I know what a genius Mr. Steinberger is. Sure enough the thing is right out of the case ready to rock and. No setup and no nonsense. It also sounds as good as an Alembic. I've played my XP bass on tours and sometimes I didn't even have to tune it. People would say to me "that thing is so ugly" and my answer was always "well it's better than your bass I can guarantee you".
they say the new Steins are the same as Hohner, but for some reason they don't feel as solid to me. The hohner seems to bend more at the neck, and the action is ass. From the cheap Steinbergers, to the carbon fiber ones, they are smooth as butter. It feels like they play themselves. They are like an extension of my body, I just think of the notes.
used to be able to find stuff at the pawn shops, but thing is now, the shops have guide books so you no longer find Les Pauls for 100 bucks, they know how much they are worth. I haven't seen a real stein at all in a long time. I'll probably just order a new one online and hope they don't suck. I guess there is always Ebay. You might get a good deal there.
it does sound a bit thin , but i think that's just his tone ....his settings.....i can make my ESP or Razorback sound thin too with alot of treble and crap :-P i guess those guitars are fine
@LessthanJake14 I honestly wouldn't know, my steinberger is original fully made out of graphite. Though i have tryed out the piezo steinbergers and its only good if you have a compressor on all the time, the piezo kills the emg tone since the emg's pots had been voiced to match the piezo.
I don't know if "totally replaceable" would be the best line for advertising purposes, even if it's intended to be a reference to consistency...

It's all a matter of taste. I've played Steins for 20 years and adore the sound and the way they play.
Lots of great players love them. To be fair, lots of other great players dislike them too, though.

Oh really, search up footage of the "Live without a net" tour Van Halen did in 1986 and you'll find him plucking a Steinberger for most of the show.
Also, the Steinberger is a hollowbody instrument, so I call bullshit on them not being able to breathe.

The big difference is that the Hohners have all wood construction so it's not that surprising that they feel different.
