Steinberger Synapse Ss 2f Custom Electric Guitar

Steinberger SS-2F Custom (Transparent Blue)

The Steinberger SS-2F Custom joins Steinberger's latest tribe of cutting-edge Synapse guitars. From its unique appearance to the complex engineering of its CybroSonic Neck, every element of the SS-2F Custom's design was created with one idea chiefly in mind: Stability. Supreme intonation and a hardy composite neck are just two end results of Steinberger's innovation, while a new standard in player-guitar trust could well be a third. Incredible EMG humbucker tone coupled with the ultimate in reliability: the Steinberger SS-2F Custom is a guitar you won't put down.Steinberger SS-2F Custom at a Glance:The Latest Steinberger MasterpieceDouble Ball/SingleBall Tuning System with Headless Design"Zero-fret" Rather Than Traditional NutCybroSonic Neck and Phenolic FingerboardEMG Humbucking Pickup SystemIntegrated Tool HolderLarger Body with Ergonomic SculptingThe Latest Steinberger MasterpieceNed Steinberger breathed new vision and life into stringed instruments when he introduced the L2 bass at Summer NAMM in 1979. Innovatively designed without headstocks, the L2s astonished the music world and prototypes were quickly sold to such esteemed players as John Entwistle of The Who, Tony Levin of King Crimson, and Andy West of The Dregs. Since then, Steinberger basses and guitars have continued to impress musicians - and engineers! - the world over. Their cutting-edge Headless Tuning systems make way for stability never thought possible, while their CybroSonic necks and EMG humbucking pickup systems allow for an extensive range of tonal possibilities. DoubleBall/Single Ball Tuning System with Headless DesignOriginally, Steinberger guitars featured an exclusively DoubleBall Bridge that eliminated the need for a headstock. The strings came through and locked down on the bridge for incredible stability. Plus, with virtually no manual feeding and cutting required, you could change strings in under a minute. Today, the Synapse SS-2F Custom has a redesigned headpiece so you can enjoy using these special double ball-end strings as well as your favorite traditionals. This premier system allows you to dial into tune using precise micrometers rather than standard tuners - and when you get in tune, you stay in tune. Also, because Steinberger guitars need no headstock, they're extremely ergonomically balanced and comfortable to hold during longer jam sessions and performances." Zero-fret" Rather Than Traditional NutBy employing a "zero-fret" design instead of a traditional nut, intonation and action are greatly improved. Plus, you can use a variety of different string gauges because there's no nut to widen. CybroSonic Neck and Phenolic FingerboardAll aspects of Steinberger guitars are on the edge of design, and that's exactly the case with the SS-2F Custom's CybroSonic neck. Inside the wood is a U-shaped composite graphite structure with an integrated truss rod: You get full-on control of your instrument while enjoying the added stability the composite material provides. A durable phenolic fingerboard complements the neck, and, due to its material, it's dead-zone free for the ultimate in performance. Plus, the Synapse's neck-thru-body design ensures distinctive tonal clarity, sustain, "pop," and response with signature Steinberger stabilityEMG Humbucking Pickup SystemThe Steinberger Synapse SS-2F Custom features high-quality EMG-81 and EMG-85 humbucking pickups that work in concert with the guitar's design features to provide broader bandwith and, most importantly, its unique, robust tone.Integrated Tool HolderSteinberger guitars are engineering marvels - not only designed to deliver stunning stability, but to become the kind of guitar you want to play. Rather than taking your axe in for a complicated setup process, you can adjust intonation yourself. You don't need to haul around a workbench and tool box to make adjustments - all the tools you need are stored onboard the SS-2F Custom inside its handy recessed tool holder.Larger Body with Ergonomic Sculptin
