Talking about the uncommon Steinberger GL2T, TransTrem, Allan Holdsworth Seymore Duncan pickup, Many people think this guitar is ugly, but what do you think? I think it is super cool and very beautiful :) th-cam.com/video/BxsQLKqw8XE/w-d-xo.html
I think it's gorgeous. Would love to own one some day.
It's a tool. All allan wanted was functionality.
Perfect guidance! I totally agree your opinion. I play my GL2 1983 for 36 years and It is the privilege of the owner to experience this wonderfulness.
I Love my Steinberger. Very easy to play, always stays in tune, strings hardly ever snap & looks superb! You can't beat headless guitars IMO, I have also recently ordered two Kiesel HH2X guitars.
Yeah, the Steinbergers are just perfect. Some people might even argue, too perfect, lol.
I have a friend who owns a Kiesel HH2X, signed by Allan, it plays amazing as well.
Is it any good? Of course it is, and it´s been know since the 80´s. All Steinbergers are master pieces.
Yes, indeed!
I dreamed of it since I was a teenager, in the mid 80s, and finally gave myself one three months ago, for my 50th birthday: it's a white GL2T queen, it took a long world-wide search and a consistent amount of money but I just love it and, to me, that's THE GUITAR!!! Talking of Steinbergers, I also have a GM4S that I used for the past 15yrs, both on stage and in studio, and that's a spectacular instrument too!
_color me jealous_ Beautiful instrument, sir! 🍻 I own one of the more recent Spirit wood models. It was setup nicely with hardware / pickup upgrades, and I'm very happy with it.
Allan is my top guitarist, also. _"The Sixteen Men of Tain"_ is my all time favorite album. His entire discography is great, though.
Yeah I am sure they are great as well! Yeah, Allan has done som much over the years, everything from Tonys Lifetime, Bruford, Gordon Beck to his own solo stuff, I tend to prefer the solo stuff, and especially around the mid to late 80's/early 90's as it is very unique kind of music, and his playing was at a peak.
I just happened to think of this guitar the last time a tonewood debate came up. This is one of the best sounding guitars I’ve ever heard and it had no wood at all.
Yes exactly!
2:39 That was Ned Steinberger demonstrating the strength of the Synapse. I have that video on my Instagram profile.
Now Alabout £5000 if you can find one for sale
Amazing guitar!!
Instead steinberger i call 'em superberger and i like this guitar from the 80's.Hard to find and extremely expensive but nowadays are wide available to cheaper remakes or clones of the original and definetely i will go for it.
la bell sound you use is the same bell sound they use to remind you that you need to play your turn on ptcgo haha i thought i was in a match and had to check..
The Steinbergers are great instruments. I own a white GM4T (1991) and love its playability, tonal balance and tuning-stability. The GLs are wonderful too ( i played a black GL4T for almost a year that was an exceedingly gracious loan of my friend ). Don't ever sell it ;)
yeah man, don't worry, not selling it! :)
Play it man
Thanks for an insightful look into the past of a unique guitar. Stephen Stills played an 80’s Steinberger GL2T-GR for a rehearsal with Neil Young and Buffalo Springfield at his home studio in 1986 -band rehearsal. It sounds really good during his solo, cuts through the mix -and looks very cool as well.

Do Steinbergers require trembucker spacing at the bridge?
Dunno, check with google!
Carbon fiber?
where is the sound ?.
Do you have the 8 Kohm Double screw PAF 59 (the one Allan actually used) or the 16 Kohm Double screw JB pickup in the bridge?
Where's the demo?
Not to promote myself, but here's a live demo of almost the same beast. Built 1985, owned since 1995 and still playing every day. I'll die before this guitar for sure : video of my beloved black & white GL 2T : th-cam.com/video/jBYMhTpOwHc/w-d-xo.html
Double ball strings are so expensive now, i don't bother with my hohner
Have you tried this? www.headlessusa.com/string-adaptrrs
I think EVH played one as well
Yes, he did! And that is what got me thinking of my Steinberger
He began playing it when Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen. I think he played it on five (or six) songs? Get Up, Summer Nights and Me Wise Magic immediately come to mind.
Didn't he mentioned "Summer Nights" Van Halen? 🙄 It's like make a video about ELKA SYNTHEX and not mention Jean Michel Jarres Laser Arp kkk
hi gh there Mr. Michio Kaku o_O
what pickups are in it?
EMG active pickups originally. In my case, Seymore Duncan Allan Holdsworth ah-1 in the bridge and a Seymore Duncan 59 in the neck
@@Olwehn Originally EMG 81 and 85, 3 way switch, volume, tone.
Graphite and Kevlar..
It is actually Carbon Fibre, I don't think it is the same as kevlar, but I could be wrong
@@Olwehn Fingerboard is phenolite, I heard. And yes, Steinberger rules, and yes, Gibson should have kept production running but I really think they bought the brand in order to "save" their good old guitars, not to promote headless guitars. Sadly, because of course, headless are better for everything, from balance, to tone, to tunning stability etc. You're right on everything. Only people our age know the real deal. I got mine since 1995, and still playing it every day. How old is your all white GL ? (video of my beloved black & white GL 2T : th-cam.com/video/jBYMhTpOwHc/w-d-xo.html) I add they ring like bells, and therefore, it's really easier to play legato. Your review is a good idea. I'll make one also one day, Ned Steinberger really deserve it. BTW; Nishikori Seki is actually trying to make a descent replica of the Transtrem. Check him out. Cheers.
@@krma1970 Awesome! Yeah you might be right about Gibson, they have made some really questionable business decisions over the years, I think it should be around 91. Was yours black and white right out of the factory? Cool I will check it out!
@@Olwehn Serial number says mine is from 85. I got it second hand in 95 in paris (for 1100 euros ahah), but unchanged yes. I'll never sell this guitar for sure, even if sleeping in the street. Especially if sleeping in the street :o)
@@krma1970 yeah, me neither! :)
