Hi all! Remember the 1988 XL2(A) #6073 on Ebay that had a fugly black coat of paint on it? Well I own it now and you know what, this thing is gonna restore...
I suggest you to visit kronosonic.com (very interesting site per se) and go into the forum. There is an amazing collection of strange guitars pictures and...
The 1988 XL2A I mention in my previous post has a spot where someone routed into the heel under the front pickup. There is a layer of composite and then what...
... The L's and necks were made with a core of balsa wood and we've discussed it here in detail before. Many components made with composite have some kind of...
That's interesting. I wonder if that's why Adamas sandwiches birch between layers on their graphite topped acoustics. I own one and swear by it. I didn't...
Hi. I'm new to the electric guitar world, having been an acoustic player for a couple of years. In my search for an electric recently I've turned up a guitar...
... Acoustics are a different breed from solid body electrics, since the sound & tone is actually generated by the instrument itself. Wood types and bracing...
Which strings do you use? Do the older models take different strings than the new ones? Do the Music Yo's fit all models? Do the Labellas fit all models (old /...
Last October, I made my first Steinberger clone, using lacewood, modeling the body shape after a P body, using a Moses neck and TT, and using a Roland...
Great job on both guitars!! I too found the Piezo to be a bit crystal sounding for the VG8. The signal was also quite a bit hotter and had to be setup totally...
Yes I saw nothing in the posts that answered all these questions when I searched the archive. Len _____ From: Sean Michaels [mailto:smichaels@...] Sent:...

... Last summer I went to a wood supply place here in the Chicago area. They mostly sell to woodworkers and do lots of their own milling. Literally tons of...
... Yes, the internal structure of the huge grain is complex, and it takes quite a lot of exploring to find a piece that makes your heart skip a beat. If you...
Thank you Andy for all the info on the use of balsa in the Ls. I was wondering if you might be able to post some pics of the cross sectioned instrument you...
Hi all ! I'm DOn. I just got an xp last night (1987 I'm told)...Really cool bass. Even came with the "Steinberger" stickers that came in the gig bag. The...
... This was from a later Nashville made neck. There are some minor differences in construction - like they didn't scallop the underside of the fingerboards...
Hi, I just recently changed the strings on my GM7TA, and have found after numerous attemps that in the locked position my guitar won't stay in tune. The...
... You're saying that when it's LOCKED it won't stay in tune? If that's the case then that's VERY weird. Or is it when it's unlocked and floating in the...
I figured out the problem. You think after five years of doing my own setups I would remember something as simple as stretching the strings. Now I feel like...
I'm suprised nobody else has posted on this yet, but Status in England sent out a newsletter yesterday. It's short, and Rob Green mentions that it's the first...
... $20 a set for double ball bass strings is VERY hard to beat. The value on 5 string sets is even better. These Status strings equal or exceed the...
Hi All, First, let me say thanks to all of you who have replied to my posts here… Sadly, having lusted after a Steinberger since I first saw one years ago...
