Steinberger - American Guitars, Part 3

This is a Japanese produced documentary, part of a series on American instrument manufacturers. Filmed sometime after the Gibson buyout in late 1987, it includes extended interviews with Ned, an interview with Reeves Gabrels, and an interesting factory walk-around. Narrative is in Japanese, but the interviews are in English.

Isn't great how the big guns think they know what players want? They are so out of tuch with players. Thank God for companies like Carvin and Steinberger.

Les Paul got laughed at for his ideas too

@VSNROCKS Then Gibson bought Steinberger and, according to some people, ruined it. (I don't have one, so I won't judge wether or not those claims are true)

Bunch of corporate idiots...If there was a reissue of the original XL or XQ basses, I wolud certainly see how to get the cash to get one...I wasn´t smart enough to grab at least an XQ when Musicyo had them in stock. That is something I will regret for the rest of my life....as long as they don´t reissue them.

This guitarist at 1:20 always reminds me of Austin Pendleton, the actor who portrayed the stuttering public defender in "My Cousin Vinny"...he looks alike!!! "B...B...Buuuut..." LOL
