The website is amazing though. quote:The amp sounds and feels superior to the usual designs that use IC opamps. These generate non linearities when driven from high impedance guitar pickups - this is called common mode distortion. The pre-amp also takes cable related sonic differences out of the equation.

I think we've hit a fresh seam here guys. His Google presence is pretty clean apart from a bunch of paid-placement reviews; no forums discussion or anything. Either he's really new or someone has been cleaning house.

I wanted to try one out hoping that it'd be lighter than my current guitar due to my current back pain preventing me from playing it too long. It's loving miserable.

s.i.r.e. posted:lol Aside from what everyone else side, you can find some very light Ibanez S guitars too. Anyway, when it comes to steinberger, depending on what model you want, you're probably going to be buying used and paying at least 1600-2000 dollars for a decent condition one. Like I said, it depends on what you're looking for. Personally I'd really like one with the T-trem, which is a trem that actually bends every string in tune and can be locked in different tunings. There's the spirit models too, which are basically the import versions and can be had for a pretty good price (4-800). Not bad guitars from what I've seen. All that said, I'd look at a Steinberger OS right now instead, unless you gotta have the trans-trem.

I have a tele thinline too, probably a tiny bit heavier than a steinberger (I haven't touched one since high school so I can't compare too well) but they're super light. Mines actually a knockoff from rondo music, if your hosed up back is less than permanent and you don't want to switch to something lighter permanently.

I actually like the look of a Steinberger, strangely enough.Not sure on the current weight of my guitar as I can't find it online but it's not even the heaviest one I have, just my daily driver that I use a lot. It's an oversized LP though so I think it's heavier than average. muike posted:There's the spirit models too, which are basically the import versions and can be had for a pretty good price (4-800). Not bad guitars from what I've seen. I was aiming towards one of these since I don't care for a trem and $400 for a guitar wouldn't break the bank. Sucks that the only place to try one out is Sam Ash and that's a bit of a pain in the rear end to get to.

It depends on which you look at I think. The M style bodies which are basically regular bodies, full thickness, and solid wood, maple I think, are gonna be heavy. The L style "bodies" are often hollow and molded graphite during the Newburg days iirc and accordingly are quite light. If you need a light guitar the best bet is probably an SG with ultralightweight tuners.

The density (and weight) can vary by a surprising amount. Even between two pieces from the same source.

What's all this talk about thinlines being light? I've got a 2000 MIM '72 and it's almost as heavy as my gold top LP. With a baseball bat neck too! (My lightest one is a bolt-on Samick SG and it's awesome)

Allen Wren posted:Is this a joke or something? The one time I tried a SG while I was guitar shopping, the neck was heavier than a whole other guitar. I have played a lot of SGs and they tend to have thinner bodies which usually makes up for small gains on the neck. I am thinking it would also seem more weighted because SGs are notorious for having neck dive because of said thinner bodies. That said, I am sure everyone here can anecdotally find examples of each make that are heavier and lighter than average since this is wood we are talking about. Fact is something like an LP is just more likely to be heavy because of the large body and denser wood. SGs are simply thinner and thinlines are hollowed out so they are pretty good places to start if weight is the primary factor. In general you simply have to pickup the instrument or I guess have to go by a dealer that weighs each item.

Sweetwater lists weights for individual guitars. Just looking at four 2016 SG Standards I see a range from 6lb 6oz to 6lb 14oz.
