dick motorman Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Personally I want Steinberger (Gibson) to reissue the old GMs and maybe GLs with the TT2s. I know the guys in Cynic were working on getting this done, but I'm curious what do you guys think/ want? I've been thinking about starting an online petition.

Eagle Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Yes get Fibersonixx to build the carbon parts (in China) then ship um to the US for frets and assembly.If you did this the price could be reasonable and the QC would be better than the awful QC on the Synapse. YES DO IT. Gibson are the kiss of death for all the brands they purchase and the NEVER sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 BTW the TT2 is a complicated one as Zenon seem to have an interest in it ,This will be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediterraneo Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Eagle...is the QC on the Synapse that bad? I thought I recalled you mentioning it as a decent option given the admittedly poor options for production headless these days Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yes pretty bad , If you find a good one they can be made to work but I might as well of made my own by the time I'd finished mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediterraneo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks; is it significantly better than the Spirit at least or not even worth that much more? I am looking for a GLB Music-Yo (I would like a truss rod and trem ideally) but haven't been able to locate one and was thinking of getting one of these in the interim. Would you pick one over the other for those purposes or are they both just hopeless? What did you end up needing to do to yours? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Refret and re profiled the stupidly huge neck . It was thicker at the nut than the blank piece of maple Fender start with to cut a strat neck out of and made my friends R7 Les Paul seem like an Ibanez.

Eagle Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 BTW a GLB is rare and hard to get so the recent EBay prices have been high. Cool travel guitar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediterraneo Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks again for the info; under these conditions would you just get a Spirit and replace its electronics in the meantime or is it worth it to pick up a Synapse? Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
