I have owned almost every other guitar, including an old Les Paul 1958, which was not as great as people think. Always requiring neck heatpress to remove a bow. The Graphite is always consistent with the Steinberger. You never have to adjust the neck, it never changes. This guitar gives you the pure string sound, uncolored and consistent on every note.
All notes sustain equally well.
But as we all know, he changes guitars all the time. Yet the steinberger has stayed longer than any other in the various forms he owns. I use some of the same etuff that he uses. Well, A Boogie DC-3 etc. The action is great, was great, and will always be great.
