Really miss mine, wish I'd clung onto it. One guitar I regret losing :(

Are steinberger still owned by Gibson? If so the new spirits will be a typical gibson clusterfuck.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

It's my travelling sanity, but I take it you mean your proper Steiny, not your Spirit.
Set up Mr foal's bass for him, solid as a rock that thing.

Yeah I really miss my Rutherford :( had the full transtrem and everything. I still have a hohner cricket bat awaiting attention in the mancave of delights, but it was the whole graphite neck thing I miss.

Don't miss tracking down calibrated strings for the bugger!

They pretty much buried them for the last 8 years or so, even that would be an improvement.

It makes sense. Refresh some models, get some press and some attention then sell the brand. It'll be worth more if it's seen to be active and healthy rather than inert and stagnant.

My understanding (and this goes back 15 years) is that Steinbergers as in their original Graphite Form will never be made again.

In fact it's possible the molds were actually destroyed in the Gibson buy out of Ned's company.

Pinch of salt ymmv

A wooden Steinberger isn't the concept of the original builder. If that makes sense in a non-judgmental way.

Gibson also own Tobias Bass so funnily enough the two most important bass builders post- Leo Fender have their names in some sort of entropy.

I agree, however the wood full body and graphite neck of the R series was such an awesome combination.

Yeah still owned by Gibson, run them into the ground. They have a schenker inspired bat in the series, thats how I was going to do my hohner - they ripped me :(
