While I have never used the Steinberger locking tuners, I have had the same trouble with Sperzels. I always do one wrap of each plain string as wlee as...
For a change? Maybe you are referring to the SS-2F in particular. I love my TS and I believe there are several others here who would tell you the same. Btw...
Fred- There may be an oily residue on (inside) the tuners from the manufacturing process that is causing the strings to slip. Remove the tuners from the guitar...
Sure thing Andy Model: Synapse SS-2F Custom (Amber) SN U04125702 Kahlil ... Nice to hear some glowing reports for a change. Any chance you could post the...
... Hmmm... One from December. Earlier than I would have expected. I seem to recall that the early non-TS ones seem to have exhibited less issues overall....
... The complaints seem to always overwhelm feedback from those who are content. I figure for every problem we hear about, 20 people have no beef. But you'd...
Well, for me at first it seemed to be a major love/hate relationship with my XS-15FPA custom(5 string bass) because while it played and sounded great, there...
Keith, Very valid prospective. I hope and trust that my fortune is not a mishap and the QC issues have been addressed. I did want to add that I am a new...
I, too, am having a love/hate relationship with these tuners. I have two sets now, both on very secondary guitars. These guitars had lousy tuners and needed...
... Hi out there! Just now getting a chance to reply to this one. For those of you that like to try to make your dollar stretch a little further, I heard of...
... I just want everyone to understand that if a batch of 30 have a problem, we likely see it in the very first ones. Then in the ensuing weeks as we work...
Andy, Any idea what the numbers are like for the Synapse line? You mentioned they only made 50, is that just 6 strings (or basses too) and if so, is that both...
I'm happy to report that this one does not, unless you count the fingerprints that were all over it(I don't). The satin finish is still growing on me, but...
... Points well taken, and the news re: the QC manager is great! Thanks for the update on this. :) ... Power to them. May the Synapse line accomplish exactly...
... First batch was less than 50. Thought it was like 30-40 pieces total inlcuding bass & guitar. It's not that they can't sell them. They've basically sold...
Hi There ! A couple of month ago I bought an old pre Gibson Steinberger GM4T. I'm not too much of a fan of the EMGs in this particular guitar. For my taste...
A couple thoughts about pickups in your GM4T: 1) You can usually tell EMG guitar pickups apart without disassembling by looking at the color of the little EMG...
I also sent a technical support email off to StewMac. The reply... ... I didn't use a contact cleaner, (yet?) I passed a thick enough string thru the slot to...
I have already looked up past posts and from what I can tell I probably need a new spring. The problem is after I unlock my TT it goes flat. I adjust the...
We've been through this quite a bit on this newsgroup Ask Andy for new berrings and springs...u'll probably need both... I would get someone to install...
Thank You David ! I have a GM4T with two singlecoils and one humbucker and I believe they are SA/SA/85. I was thinking about trying the S/S/89 combination...
... Actually sounds like your spring square nut is stripped. It's the part that puts the actual counter pressure fromt he spring on the trem. Unless you...
I've had both SA and S singlecoils, and personally I liked the SAs better. The S is definitely more trebly and probably a little more like a Fender Strat...
Andy, I'm buying one of Eric Sands Steinbergers, specifically a GM-4S but I'm just a bit curious that the serial number doesn't match the number sequence...
If the Trans-trem is so finely calibrated, does tinning the string ends with solder change the strings' stretching ability enough to require recalibration at...
Before anyone fires off flaming emails to me, I have to say this... If you've never owned an ADA MP-1 midi 12ax-7 tube preamp rack unit then you've missed out...
Beyond changing the pickups, here are a couple things you might want to consider: A) Going to 18v. IMO, this is essential with EMGs, especially if you are...
the too-hot Hot Rails? A: I have an Ibanez Strat copy -RX40-...with two Hot Rails and a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge I also have the Hot Rails Coil...
