New Steinberger at NAMM

[El Chiguete]

I was at the Kramer forum and someone posted pics and a video of the new Steinberger guitar and new TransTrem (TT3), here you go... what do you'll think? I would love it if it had a more regular strat body or like a GL (the ones that Ed used to play with the small rectangular body).

Looks fine to my eyes. Would love to own one as a travel guitar.

[hippietim]

I really like that one.

[Norton]

I really like that one.

If you type that as : thaTone


it would have three meanings. It could be that one, or that tone or both at the same time.Man, ain't that great!

[scotty]

Looks good to me. Is it true if break a string they stay in tune?

[straycat]

Looks better than a Parker.
I do like it.I've had a few Steinbergers and they were all great guitars.

I hate the body shape and the gi-normous size of the bridge, but I love Steinberger's innovative spirit. If I were to get one of the new USA GLB-2S models (rectangular body) from MusicYo, which have the "S-Trem" would that be the same trem EVH had on the Steinberger he used to play "Summer Nights" on the VH Live DVD? As I understand it, the trem on EVH's kept the strings in tune while lowering or raising pitch and also could be locked in different tunings.

Hmm. I think Eddie's had the Trans-Trem. Not sure of the difference, though.

[skorb]

when I saw the pic I thought, who would buy that POS?

then I saw all the positive remarks...

[åron]

At fist glance, I didn't like the shape. Then it kinda grew on me. It doesn't look good to me standing upright, vertically. In playing position, it looks different and, dare I say, good to me.

[cdwillis]

I actually like the body shape, the lack of the headstock has always irritated me though. I know you don't need it but cosmetically it looks better. I really like the top on that one too.

[yard dawg]

Well at least the headstock wouldnt break when using UPS to ship it.,

[jim777]

Cool and different

[Firebird V]

Looks cool? Anybody play it?

Hmm. I think Eddie's had the Trans-Trem. Not sure of the difference, though.

Yes Eds one had a Trans-Trem, the difference is that a S-Trem works like a Floyd moving on two post, so the chords go out of tune when you use the bar just like a Floyd would. A Trans Trem Steinberger guitar is deffinetly on my ¨some day will have list¨!
