iluvcrap2000 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Such a waste, it make it unique. Really don't like the grovers on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 When "unique" breaks during the second set it isn't "unique" anymore. Them things are hazardous. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 When "unique" breaks during the second set it isn't "unique" anymore. Them things are hazardous. rct Amen on that. They are too quirky for my taste. They are why my Firebird stays in the case, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerad12 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Yeah the grovers don't do it for me either. Firebird headstocks are supposed to be sleak and with the grovers it "looks" bulky. (Its only aesthetics I know but....) I have a 2015 firebird and haven't had any problems with the steinbergers, but that's just my experience. The brass zero nut is terrible but the tuners haven't given me any trouble. I also wonder why only one color option. Love to see the multiple layers of a firebird and in ebony you don't get that. Ya'll think it's still a multi ply neck through or one piece neck through and the color masks that? Just checked on line and it doesn't specify multi ply. Curious about that. Still love firebirds though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelDeVille Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The grovers look horrible, epiphone at least went with kluson banjos.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Who has had Steinberger tuners break? I haven't heard of that. Mine work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Who has had Steinberger tuners break? I haven't heard of that. Mine work fine. Two close guitar players of mine. It isn't so much the break as the "unique". Try to get parts for them. I do have spare Grovers around here somewhere, in the equally unlikely event of a a full on failure that has to be replaced. Those banjo thingies, not so much. There's a set screw or something that likes to come off? Something like that happened to both guys and of course, it always comes when yer flailing around at some Skynyrd or something and that part is gawn. This is long experience, neither happened last week, and it is of course quite likely that they are better these days. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
