 Steinberger Spirit Pro guitar in excellent condition with carry case. £170.

 Music bay never used to supply the double ball strings so i had to buy them off the net, unless you can get them in Ashford or Canterbury. Its a kick ass guitar but iv got too many guitars and im skint! And the reason im skint is iv got too many guitars!!!

I love the sound of these Guitars, but not sure if it'd look right strapped to a fat bloke?? I wouldn't want to look like Nigel Tufnel when he's playing that really small Guitar, but then......Dave Gilmour & Leslie West both played these, and they're not skinny young things??

I used to make up sets of double ball end strings for a friend of mine who used to play one of those back in 88/89.  It was actually a very playable instrument and rich in useable tones.  Not a patch on my Jackson Predator at the time but not too far off and a third the price.

'Tis true enough.  Guitar fashion snobbery is terrible thing really.  Jackosn make some of the very finest guitars available and yet you can't give 'em away as they don't have that 'retro' caché that assgholes look for in ana instrument.

 

Look at it this way, Formula One mechanics dont use old tools from the 60's to get their bloke back out there double quick, they use the best tools that money can buy.  Guitars are tools, being the best in the world does not go hand in hand with having no soul or tone.Cool

Good luck with the sale dude.

I've got an old Steinberger guitar. You can get strings easy enough and you can also buy a converter clamp so you dont need double ball end strings.

however,

I don't play mine. I just keep it because its an original steinberger and one day, it might be worth more than I paid for it

I've always wanted to make a double neck from the stick guitars. bass and guitar. It would be tiny, and so cool.

 

it could be another guitar that I don't play and it would live under the bed with all the others
