Talk:Steinberger
The article here was clearly cut and pasted from a brochure or website (can't tell which and can't be bothered tracing it) and so certainly violates copyright. I've written up a "fan" summary from my own head so it's certainly not anyone else's. Is there a copyright-free picture of an L-series guitar I can use? AxS 10:29, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] reverted move
I just moved Steinberger Bass back to Steinberger. I feel their guitars are at least almost equally notable to their basses... I personally am much more familiar with their guitars than basses, and have seen them more in use than their basses (including by Tangerine Dream, and in a Daft Punk video), although that is personal observation. I'm sure others feel their guitars are as equally notable, so I think its best to keep it in general, especially since we are referring to the company of the manufacturer, and not so much as a specific instrument. -- Shadowolf 23:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Appearences
I'm fairly certain a white Steinberger appears in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure", and I'm pretty sure I've seen them in other movies as well. I've also seen a number of famous musicians use them in broadcasts. A list of sightings may be fair to add.
It's worth noting that MusicYo.com has the present licensing rights to the Steinberger design, and the versions they sell are crafted of wood rather than graphite. --It costs a candle nothing to light another candle. 12:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Gibson" Steinbergers - especially recent ones are very good.
I'd argue - by the countless Ned Steinberger staring very technical videos on the Gibson Steinberger site and countless interviews he gives in all sorts of Guitar magazines that he'd say that his Gibson line, especially the Synapse Transcale - is an evolution, continuing improvement of his previous models. Obviously they are not the hand-crafted originals but they are quite brilliant in their own right. For example, the high end Transcale comes with a Phenolic (carbon fiber/resin) finger board, Graphite core in the neck, aluminum, active electronics, piezo bridge pickup etc. and has graphite and aluminum core.

[edit] Dave Pegg
I recall that in the 80's Dave Pegg used to play a Hohner headless bass, stating he preferred the 'wooden' tone to a Steinberger. I can't find a quote on the web. Can anyone?The Yowser (talk) 11:31, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
