r2bflash Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Ahh ok. And just for information' date=' I'm not TwistedWrister on the Steinberger_world forum thing. I've just requested becoming a member though. Just so there's not any confusion. I think that may be my friend that got one though.[/quote']Must be your friend.

r2bflash Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'm not sure' date=' but is the Moses better than the other?[/quote']Well the Fibersonixx necks were considered to be a little closer tone wise to the original Steinberger neck that did not have the truss rod. But i think they had too many quality control issues so Gibson stopped using them evidently. Moses necks had most complaints about the fret work. I had one that you could grab a fret with your fingernail and pull the fret out with no trouble. This did not happen at first but a few months after I had it. Gibson or I probably should say Epiphone replace it. It took a couple of trips back to Nashville and one trip the volume knob got shoved through the guitar. But they did replace the body and I finally got a neck that the frets would stay in. Every new Steinberger I have (new meaning not the original neck/from MusicYo) has had high or low frets that I have had to level and sharp fret edges. In other words poor fret dressing. So, to answer your question, it depends on which potential problem you would like best. Hopefully you will not have any. All I can tell you is my history and what I have heard through the Yahoo group. Maybe you should start a topic there or search the archives there. We have been discussing this stuff for years over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinity Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I bought a GM-4T for $995 from MusicYo about a year ago. It was a great deal. Quit showing off Brent. :) Besides, you are depressing me by bringing those days up. I have 3 GM4Ts, 4 GM7TAs, and 1 GLB2T from those sales and I'd still buy more if they came up again. I only paid 900 bucks for that GLB2T. How could anyone pass that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are gorgeous! Great wood grain and perfect finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
