that Spirit is equally ugly IMO.  I never liked th look of "cut out" sections in what would otherwise be a superstrat.  However, that apple red on that Steinberger is quite nice, much better looking than that ugly white one  :wink:  :roll:

for example, use of graphite in guitar construction must have been a very brave move in the 1980s.


Considering that the 80's were a mistake in the laws of nature, physics, culture, humanity, and cosmic balance, it can safely be said that any kind of "brave move" that turned out "well" is indicative of a mistake that turned out well.  :roll:  :P

What i want to know is how they sound?

Such little wood on them and not only that but the wood that is on them is all maple, must be such a bright tone!

It could be the HOLY GRAIL of guitar, that would be so ugly and I would still say: "humpft"...  :D If they decide to do a minimally beautiful guitar, ok then...

opprobrium:

beauty is in the eye of the beholder after al!


crazy: well, theres a clip of mine in the players forum.

they have a full mid range, balanced treble, and not much in the way of bass. i wouldn't say they were bright - not in an agressive way - but no one could call them dark ;) i like my tone without much bass:

treble is difficult to add...

but bass is difficult to take away.

 :lol:  I am just giving you a hard time.  Surely you can recognize the joking tone, even in writ  :)   In any case, i did say "IMO" so, yes i recognized the "beauty is in..." statement before you concieved it.  :wink:  If you like teh Steinz more power to you.

As for my remark on the 80's, well, i am pretty steadfast on that one  :wink:
