Cool ! As the proud owner of a white Steinberger Spirit, I’m loving it ! I just bought 2 other small travel guitars even smaller and lighter than the Spirit. ( The Batking and Donner Hush 1 ) But the Steinberger was way ahead of the compact guitar game, and is awesome !
White Spirit club! It's really in rare air. You can't compare it to other travel guitars; it doesn't compromise like most of them. This is one of the only guitars out there that is both fully portable and fully functional. The only time I can ever criticize it is when holding it right up against a good full-size. It looks small, but it is nothing short of a whole electric guitar.
nope.... I just bought one for the 3rd time.... trying to give it one more shot........ and yet again..... I returned it..... just doesn't play like my others.... :(
Honestly, strings are the real headache with them these days. I seem to only be able to find them for sale by the box and I honestly don't play either of my wooden Steinbergers enough to warrant the cost. I got other guitars I like as much and I can get singles or a pack for them. Sad though. The Hohner has a dedicated switch SSH setup and Spirit has the GT3 HSH run off a 5 position Fender style selector.
If a guitar cannot sound good on this man's hand....Came here looking to buy one and this video made me drop that idea fully. Thanks for a conclusive video though
HA! Seems you don't understand the guitar has nothing to do with the sound. It's all in the electronics, as in the pickups, amp, etc. What matters is how the guitar feels in your hands. Everything else is changeable.
@@DadRockKid Seems you don't like the sound of the guitar. I was saying that the sound you are not liking is his amp and settings likely. The guitar just sounds like whatever amp and electronics you use. If I am misunderstanding you, please correct me....
@@lex.cordis the sound of any guitar can be manupilated with picjups, amps, ew etc but every guitar has a feel and playability which is player dependent (horse and the jockey concept) if a player like Jo Bo is sounding 40 percent of his usual form (not tone) on a particular instrument esp considering the wide array of models he plays...it's a question of the physics of the guitar rather than the tone
I bought a Spirit when my kids were little. I did it to minimize the chance of hitting them in the head with my guitar's head stock will sitting on the couch. It served it's purpose. These days I hate the guitar. It moves around too much while I'm playing and it looks ridiculous on stage. I saw Rush in 1983 and they were both playing Steinbergers. It looked silly and kinda ruined the show on some level. I'll take a normal guitar over that.
It would be nice if they just added the guitars horns again like the classic steinbergers. Now it's strictly travel guitars and if you want the real steinbergers you gotta pay $5000 minimum
Bonamassa plays metal - awesome! 🤟🎸
in the middle '90s I've had an original steinberger with emg HSS.. when playing I used to be in heaven..keke
still miss it..
I've never seen him play 3 note per string before
@@Mike-xb7lh a lot of people do. Just never seen Joe do it. I'm not saying 3 motes per string is amazing. 2 notes is actually harder
the most exciting guitar i've ever seen him play
Bonamassa just casually like “I can do Yngwie stuff too but don’t want to”

Man.... doesn't matter if you throw BB King or Judas Priest at him, he does it all !
That guitar took Joe to metal territory!
Now I like him...
Whoa now that's something you don't see JB play every day!
I think this is the only time I've ever seen JB play shred !
I can't believe what I saw :)
Will never get rid of my Steinberger’s
… ever
This is absolutley killer
He definitely put in the time
Excellent! Ok that’s enough! I gotta get a steinburger
which strings to buy?
This wtf I came here for🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🥵
Monstro ❤❤
was not expecting him to play thrash riffs and metal leads
nope.... I just bought one for the 3rd time.... trying to give it one more shot........ and yet again..... I returned it..... just doesn't play like my others.... :(
Some people can make anything sound great
Well, I didn't expect that.
GIBSON Bring back the GL and the GM!!!!!
I've got a yeller one!
Does ANYBODY know which model of EMG Select Humbucker this is at the bridge??
It's passive and not great, but buried under FX gets the job done.
🔥🎸
Get it. Get it

Theres an attachment for regular strings. It's like 13usd
@@darkrednecks Don't even have to by an attachment, you can just buy the regular locking nut version for $10-$15
Amazon. Single packs. Easy.

One of the greatest ever!
joe isn't bad
Nice
Works!!!
Metaaaalllll
Take note how he is holding it.
Then go watch classical and jazz players who don't care much how they look, but care a lot how they sound.
Wow
Hoooooooly shiiiiiiit
CHOPS.
kicking EVH ass

While this guy is technically sound, he never really has anything to say with his guitar. Just boring.
