true, but that was about the most normal-guitar-looking headless ever produced. IIRC that was Steinberger’s compromise attempt to attract less radical guitarists. i can see how one of the Strandberg types and such could be comfortable, but how much would i have to adapt my technique (such as it is) to their various differences? what would that do to playing seated or standing? this is why i wouldn’t just order one on spec out of curiosity. it’s an extreme example of having to play before buying. i suppose one could order from someplace with 30-day returns.

Headless? Oh God, please, no! Not for me at least. I already have difficulties playing a guitar that has a capodaster attached. I definitely need to know where the head of my instrument is. :lol:
