As far as I have been told, the formula never changed from the early days until production ceased in the late '90s. -- Dave Rowe www.daverowemusic.com ...
I will also say that by all accounts, production gaffes aside (like the cockeyed headpieces), word on the street is that the new Fibersonixx-produced necks...
I don't believe there were any major changes among the original Steinberger Blend necks for the entire run from the very beginning, through the introduction of...
Do not have the guitar in front of me right now, but if I remember correctly it has 5 screws. The neck is not an original neck I was told because it is wood...
Strange, if you post close/detailed pictures you`ll get a lot more detailed answers from the list.. The body might be a custom non SB one..check the lower side...
Daves, OK I am not certain, but the XL bass has a wooden body, right? I assume so since we were ostensibly comparing the composite to wooden body, albeit...
The XL bass is all-composite, with the same general design and thinking as the L-2, just a lot of evolutionary changes. The kinds of things that are ...
James, There needs to be some clarification here. The XL, which is the 1984 update to the original L bass (the instrument that started it all) contains no...
James, I'm in Upstate NY, I do a small amount of travelling on occasion, and I own a GL-4T and an XL-2. If you're anywhere nearby I wouldn't be opposed to...
... This is not entirely true. The original Steinberger blend has a balsa wood core. It's not much, maybe a 3/16" more or less. On the bolt-on necks this was...
Rick, Thanks for the replies, I just posted a picture of the front and the back of the guitar. I have also checked the side of the neck and there is nothing...
I was in Lake Chautauqua last summer, what a place, nice restaurant there, Italian right on the water, best ever in the states, reasonable...the nicest people...
Really? No marks on the neck? Look on the side of the neck around the 17th fret. It'll be engraved (not painted) on the neck and should say something like...
Yea, my mistake on that XL material assumption... I just that when Dave made the comparison it was in response to the wood and graphite body comparison / the...
The Jon hard tail "experiment" has opened my eyes to the possibilities of better tone in spite of the claim that it is just electronics and strings (maybe that...
Steve, It`s looking more like a custom build. Moses neck, possible custom body & TTrem. This might not get exact dollor amount due to it not being stock but...
... To my knowledge, there's no maker's marks on a Moses neck. Aside from the engraved serial number, a Steinberger neck will often have some markings on the...
I think I remember him saying in an earlier post it had a wood neck with phenolic fingerboard. I guess that could have come off an early Spirit? What do you...
He posted pics. It's not a wood neck. In fact, the more I look at it (the heel, the finish) the more it looks like a Moses 5-bolt. ... early ... around ... ...
Hi everybody! Let me first introduce myself: this is Paolo, from Milan I'm the owner of a wonderful gr-4. It was repainted like the one you see in Steinberger...
This is his post. He says it is wood over graphite????? Re: SW thread: Need thoughts...... Do not have the guitar in front of me right now, but if I remember ...
... The first Spirits were only the neck through T models. So any one with a phenolic fingerboard wouldn't have a bolt-on neck. Though it has 5 bolts the neck...
Replacement Moses necks that I have gotten have the pat pending, but no serial number ... To my knowledge, there's no maker's marks on a Moses neck. Aside from...
Well I know that the guitar came from Newburgh, NY since I worked right near the plant and the guy I got it from said he used to work there. That is about the...
I suppose this is somewhat of a follow-up to my question about the Roland GK-3 pickups... But looking at Line 6's Variax guitar got me thinking. That seems...
I wonder how you'd get the transducers in the saddles to work with a Steinberger bridge. Seems to me like there would be quite a bit of fabrication involved. ...
Like any modeling technology, the success of the model is generally based on two things, the accuracy of the modeling process itself and the source for the...
... That story lends credence to an employee construct, which would explain no serial numbers. For those unaware, after the Gibson buyout hourly workers at the...
... Our good buddy ER has long offered his "upgrade" composite LSR necks with various wood fingerboards. If it didn't have a TransTrem on it I would have...
