Great, but beware before buying!
Apartenly the newest batch (novermber 2020 ) are made in indonesia!!! I am a headless fan and have a collection but first time I saw an indonesian one !
There are a few differences to the older ones...
-Fretwork seems much better and cleaner to me than the Chinese
-There is some extra sturdy metal in the truss rod .
-Satinwood is much cleaner then before , almost like rosewood. Or it may even be rosewood for all I know.
-There is a cool sticker included 😉
I gotta admit guys... There is also a difference in neck width. It is like tiny ! Really small . I have to watch that the smallest string doesn't slip of the frets while playing ...
It was really setup high out of the box, but after my brief setup, it had a nice low action of +/-1.8 mm without any buzz
I actually deceided to retur this guitar because of the smaller neck dimensions... Could be a design choice also, but I was always slipping the thinnest string when soloing... You could easily bend it upwards, but vibrato was almost impossible. My fingers are to big! But great guitar overall !

everybody should have this cool guitar
quality good!
Sounds good like classic rock or heavy metal!
I Think if if you put the pickups more powerful the sound will become much more beautiful and modern!
Very happy with the purchase!

Amazing guitar but for my tastes needs some improvements.
The guitar was shipped really fast.It needed some work upon the first use.The High E string could not go to the tuning since it was too long had to do some modifications, and the G string had a long winding at the nut that cracks when bending strings in the lower frets.The whole concept of this guitar is really amazing the resonance is rich considering the size, also the the weight.The bridge is astonishing and has a lot of features and its a really nice piece of engineering.As was pointed out by others the pickups are the weakest point on the guitar.I will be replacing those with higher gain pickups and probably sand a bit down the wood where the pickups sit as i'm constantly hitting the pickups with the pick and its really annoying.The volume knob is kinda in the way to so ill probably remove the tone and put the volume knob in its place.the fretwork is also decent.I would probably never get rid of this guitar and would probably buy it again if lost or stolen.I can really tell that steinberger is a really serious company, however Im giving it 4 out of 5 stars only because the problems related to the pickups.

A dream come True
After knowing this guitar two years ago, since that i have kept the dream of owning it and have kept my savings for 2 years. at the same time this product is also limited in its production making it difficult for me to find a store that sells this product. I was lucky to end up finding Thomann.de the company that sells this product. Thanks Thomann to make my dream come true.

Verrassend
Het was echt wel wennen - van een Ibanez Hollow Body naar deze Steinberger. Maar ik ben voortdurend op de baan en wil elke dag gitaar spelen. De houding is het moeilijkste, ik speel al zittend en dus moet er wat vulling onder de gitaar om de juiste hoogte te krijgen. De klank is ook volledig anders en daarvoor heb ik gekozen voor wat extra gear, oa. de VOX AMphone.

Bought as a travel guitar, ended playing on it every day
I fell in love with this guitar right away. Build quality and fretboard feel fantastic considering the price range. Needed minor adjustments out of the box. Both humbuckers sound very decent and very much to my liking. Single coil sounds weak by it self, but sounds great when I play it through Ravish Sitar, which I usually don't like with my other pickups.
My back muscles also highly approve of this purchase.
