Thanks for sharing your feeling about this guitar. I've been thinking about getting one. I always enjoy your playing too!
Thank you. For the price you can’t go wrong.
Whatever you sound great straight away mate . I always loved when Mick Goodrick was playing a Steinberger guitar in 1989 and wearing a leather cap . He was a genius and more . D dario strings are great . I'm playing a epiphone Les Paul right now with a set of Ernie ball strings . 8is the E string , light gauge but it sounds nice . Have a look at my rehearsal videos. You sound excellent
I saw him playing a SB at the Willow’s in Somerville MASS with the Jerry Bergenzi quartet back in 95. I also took couple of semesters with him at Berklee in 97’. He was a great musician and a teacher. He used to bring that guitar to the lessons. He actually recorded with that guitar on that Steve Swallow’s album call “the real book. Check that out if u haven’t yet! I might have to go back to it myself.i think he’s using some pedals on that album..anyway..Thnx for the kind words.
Man
I love how you play!

Man

Marco!!! It’s been too long. And I love your playing too:).
Yeah , Audiovisual scapes a Jack Dejohnette LP was one I had with Mick Goodrick and was blown away but sold a whole bunch of lps but that one was a classic so I regretted it. Now it's on here but it's not the vinyl and the cover was really nice
Try Thomastik BB112 Light Jazz BeBop for roundwound or Thomastik-Infeld JS112 Jazz Swing Flatwound! They are expensive but you will not be sorry. The quality and tone are great and they lasted me a year, but then again I am not a gigging musician but a mere hobbyist strugling to learn jazz guitar! You have a new subscriber!
Yes, I might! The TI are great. I personally liked the George Benson set they have on one of the archtop guitar I used to have.
@@Avirothbard I also use the D'Angelico roundwounds 10-47 or 10-50 (my choice) and in those, The G string is 23W. Man, those Electrozink feel almost like flats but with the punch of roundwounds. They are less expensive that TI.
nice to see a left hander

@@8nexus8 תודה🇺🇸🇮🇱
These guitars are amazing and so underrated. I love my Spirit Steinberger. They are cheap too. The only thing I wasn't such a fan of are the pickups and electronics. I swapped those out.
Yea I’m thinking about it too.I also noticed the middle pickup has a bit of a low output. Very underrated guitar indeed.
@@Avirothbard I also refretted mine with larger frets. I glued them in and the guitar feels and sounds so much better. I put in a Dimarzio Air Norton on the Neck. A rock pickup yes, but sounds so good for jazz. It has unbelievable clarity, dynamics and even-ness to the sound. You can hear note separation clearly with voicings. Plus the guitar is pretty much indestructible, light weight and easy to travel with. Also got this brass head piece so I can use regular strings without paying an arm and a leg for double ball ends. My old teacher, Mick Goodrick, played one. That's where I got the idea from initially and when I saw them on sale for $400 I figured why not.
@@orangeblue3531 yea I forgot to mention I also put the brass piece on the headstock as well(it is covered). It’s next to impossible to find any double ball sets other than one brand maybe and it is always 10-46(unless you get it from Daddario direct). They can get pricy for sure. I’m ok with the frets actually but I have a Dunken SH-1 laying in here I might try to have my tech guy install on the neck.
Wow, great tone, I would never think of a Steinberger paddle guitar as being able to pull off jazz, and so well. Great playing BTW !! where do you play, love to catch a set sometime. Thx
I play around NYC and the Tri-State area. I do not travel much these days but I do if it has a good cause:).
Allan Holdsworth and Kazumi Watanabe played them as well as many more jazz players. They're two of the best ever. Ned Steinberger makes instruments now for classical musicians but my P-type gets great jazz and clean tones.
Nice playing.
I’ve always been put off these guitars because I expect them to neck dive. Doesn’t seem to be happening to you!
Thank you. Yea it has been ok so far.
Nice picking technique! I have an early 2000s "Made In Korea" Spirit that I've had much fun traveling on planes with. It used to be my main axe, and eventually developed issues with its trem arm locking mechanism failing - still useable with some hacks. I'm frankly disgusted at how Gibson bought the brand and let it rot rather than offering service and parts; I'd otherwise replace the bridge and refret worn ones with stainless.
Thanks for your comment! I have actually tested Gibson's warranty and customer service regarding parts for this guitar. Their customer service rep was quite helpful and sent me extra bridge saddles that were ordered from Epiphone at the time. But I hear your point about the lack of info regarding parts on the Gibson/SB websites.
@@Avirothbard Perhaps Gibson support has improved recently. When I phoned them pre-covid about getting a new bridge, they were very arrogant and basically said I needed to go thru an authorized dealer - which I did. That store kept trying to contact Gibson for weeks with no success. I've since bought a Kiesel headless which I'm quite happy with, and still have the Spirit as a travel guitar.
@@TechnoRiff That live agent was pretty cool. We connected ok.
@@Avirothbard 👍
That guitar you have is a Spirit? How much do these guitars cost ?
These are around the $400 ball park. Worth it IMHO.
a long time ago i ordered the Hohner version. It sucked big time. Heard the new steineis are balsa wood or something. also bad quality
👍
@@hustlinc3540 I’m enjoying it a lot.
Just trying to help. Wind is the present tense. Wound is the past tense. Roundwound is the type of string vs flatwound or plain strings.
Have you listened to his playing at all?!- superb!! Just trying to help:)... Avi, you got yourself a new subscriber! love your playing man!
