andy-thanks for the link to that article-it looks good!! the old vs. new debate-i remember reading yrs ago around '90 or so some 80's heavy metal guitar star...
Might have been the Gibson boys. They've been releasing "faded" versions of their top sellers for a few years now. I just got the new Musicians Friend...
... And people are buying 'em like crazy. Gibson wouldn't bother doing them if they didn't sell. I saw an Ibanez Noodles model at the NAMM show. Seems the...
$3360, IIRC. I pay that kind of money, I want a nice NEW guitar! Not one that I paid extra to have it look like it never would even if I had owned it for...
... Let's face it. If they seriously wanted it to be "authentically aged" they'd need to put it in a smokehouse with like 100 bales of weed for a month. Only...
my one last "old vs. new" that makes me just laugh is fender with their "aged" guitars w/ dings and scratches in it. (i can't remember the exact name-is it the...
i'm pretty sure that the 'smoke-house' guitar idea belonged to brian forsythe of KIX. perhaps you were remembering a blurb in an older guitar rag that...
Once I was at Guitar Center, and the sales manager told one of the counter guys to be sure and put one of the Relic Strats back up on the wall, not on the...
... whatever ... The Relic line is absolutly the best guitars Fender makes right now. They use the best materials and workmanship on them. When you consider ...
I have a fine old XL-25, with the narrow bridge (width at bridge is 2 1/4", that's 13.5mm/string). I love the spacing for pickstyle playing...of course it's a...
This is indeed a good read. I was prompted to look further into his father's history (Nobel prize winning physicist, Jack Steinberger) by his (Ned's, that is)...
... Sadly no. It would have been more a conclusion based on all that happened. Other things intruded (work, etc.) + other projects here (parts, stands) and I...
... While I was dining with Ned in Nashville, he mentioned a recent conversation with his father. He'd recently found his original German passport when he...
Good take, Steven, A thought: If Ned's inspiration was as you say, then if were NOT for the Holocaust, we would not have Steinberger guitars! "An ill wind..."...

Ok! Ultimate you ask? Then the answer is not to be found in such a simple poll. First, to catch up to the competition, we need a 7 string bridge. Options of...
... Then vote "Other". I'm actually helping someone who's tricking out a GM to decide which bridge to use. I figured I'd add the 'R-Trem' and 'Other' choices...
Though it sounds like a pipe dream, I saw an auction for a handmade doubleneck korina "V" that the luthier claimed was under 10 pounds. Unfortunately, he...
I have been keeping up with the interesting posts on this subject (Old vs. New) and thought I would pass on my experience with Old Steinbergers verses New ...
Its the outsourced necks which Andy has indicated numerous times has been the source of greatest concern for the USA series. Blame Moses. Frankly, I'd tell...
