I liked these so much I bought 2 (from new)Now I am selling one, since I am not using both anymoreThis has light home-only usethe range of sounds is vast: piezo and active pickups, with active EQthe moving capo means you can play in any key, and sound like a different instrument entirelyCurrently this guitar is set up with baritone strings (the Transcale can run A-A with Baritone strings, or D-D with normal gauge)I will include a set of normal gauge strings with the guitar, and can fit these for you before posting if you preferThis includes the original Steinberger padded gig bagI think I have the original manufacturer's cardboard boxI will also be selling a metal Transcale flight case that I bought separately
ST-2FPA: Play it open and it's a baritone, roll the built-in capo up a couple of frets and it's a normal 25-1/2" guitar. Continue rolling the capo up the neck and… well… it’s just about anything! Designed by Ned Steinberger, the Synapse guitar is a HYBRID instrument combining the strength, rigidity and clarity of graphite with the warmth and beauty of wood. At the heart of every Synapse is our Cybrosonic™ neck featuring our patented graphite U-channel with adjustable truss rod uniquely crafted into a 3-piece, hard maple neck. We then add a smooth and durable phenolic fingerboard and a neck-thru body design to create an instrument with distinctive tonal clarity, sustain, "pop" and response as well as ultimate stability!Add to that, a proprietary piezo-equipped bridge with 1-piece aluminum saddle combined with low-impedance EMG USA humbuckers and you've got an instrument with infinite tonal possibilities and increased frequency response. Isolate the piezo bridge to get simmering acoustic-like tones. Turn up the EMG's and you’ve got classic, high-output humbuckers – from clean to super crunchy. Combine the two pickup systems and let your imagination run wild.Other features include a zero-fret for improved intonation, the new Steinberger Combo headpiece to allow for the use of DoubleBall™ and single ball strings and our patented Direct-Drive double-ball bridge with 40:1 tuners for tuning ease, accuracy and stability that only a Steinberger can provide. With Steinberger, you can change strings in seconds, tune up once and not have to tune again until you change strings again.Provided with a premium, padded gigbag, the Synapse also makes a great travel instrument measuring only 35" in length and capable of fitting into the tightest of places including overhead airplane bins. The result is a guitar of unequalled performance, comfort and flexibility.
