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.
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".
I wrote this comment on March 1, 2018. The comments at the end about ease-of-use, how easy it is to change the strings, how dependable it is and what’s mentioned earlier about being able to carry it with you any place you go, including in-flight, is only tempting me to get one for myself, if not now then later this year. Edit from March 7, 2018: yesterday, I decided to purchase the current production version of the white L shape model held by Rick Dehringer during his interview segment. Hoping it lives up to the classic version of the 80s, with or without the TransTrem.
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.
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.
@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
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.
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

Best and Most Underrated Guitar in the World!

2:10 The only song I would ever play if I owned a TransTrem Steinberger.
Yeah, you really don't have to ask, "what decade is this from?"

The Steinberger....a totally replacable guitar. Now there's an endorsement! :)
I want one... someday
did they pay Ed VH royalties for the cover of Get Up?
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...

the organic sound will come from a tube amp

@miscellaneousanus i tend to agree .

This andy guy has some cool hair.
You tell him Satch, look at his stupid hair at 2:30 hahahahahah
how do u tune those damn guitars without a fucking head mate...
guy in pink looks and kinda sounds like george bush
i mean theyre sturdy and all but i personally believe that guitars are art and steinberger guitars arent the prettiest
ah bullshit , songs can be recreated without the trans trem but they do sound slightly different haha
Damn.Rick sounds like he's been doing coke for three days..
thats a good sound, but it looks so..ähmm...cant tell ,shit?
the producer and the specialist have no plan to present the guitar.
".....totally replaceable"
Totally Disposable is more like it.
Steins sound like ass.
EMG + No wood = Zero Tone
Your wrong about no wood.
