Ok travel guitar
Decent guitar, not sure how much quality you can expect at this price point.
I wish Gibson would do more with this IP and create some higher end steinberger guitars with better specs and quality control.
pros
- Changing strings, intonation and action is a breeze, stable tuning.
- Trem feels solid and can be locked in place with the flip of a lever.
- Obviously very portable and fits in a large suitcase.
- Very comfortable and balanced to play standing or sitting.
cons
- Double ball strings are more expensive and hard to find gauges, they should just ship it with the adapter for regular strings included. It's also really hard to find the adapter now.
- Fretwork is kind of iffy, out of the box it plays if I don't set the action too low but it was only a couple spots that I fixed myself.
- One of the strap bolts didn't fit the hole drilled and came lose so look out for that. Not something you can't fix yourself.
- Had to resolder the bridge pickup.
- Neck profile was thicker than I expected, much more than an ibanez or jackson but this is personal preference.
Pickups are low output for humbuckers. But they sound good enough to me so I'm not going to replace them soon, works fine from clean to high gain.

Good travel guitar
Out of the gigbag the guitar looks as expected however mine had a cosmetic flaw on thr edge of the fretboard that must have occurred during final finishing in the factory, so really only a workmanship issue. As others have said this is a cheap copy of the 80s Resin Steinbergers and the humbucker pickups are a bit cheap and thin sounding. I found the single coil ok for me. The bridge saddle design takes some getting used to as you can't dive-bomb and the let the strings go totally slack as the saddles all slip out of place. The neck profile is a bit chunky for my taste. My main use for the Steiny is as a travel guitar. Why buy a traveller when you can have this real electric that fits in a suitcase.
