This Steinberger XQ is in nice shape - the front is virtually perfect, but a few dings on the top and back. I think there is one very small ding on the front but it's impossible to photograph because of the shinyness of the body.
The neck is an original Steinberger neck and is perfectly straight (has just the right amount of relief). I spent a ton of time adjusting the action for various string tension and there is surprisingly a lot of adjustment in the bridge of these babies as well.
It has two bartolini humbuckers and a 9v Hazlabs preamp - two band (bass + treble) Eq, volume, and pickup blend.
Two sets of GHS Stainless double ball strings (25 bucks each, great greatstrings) included
Included is a hardshell case and a string adapter.
Price: 1200 + shipping
Summary of questions from last time around:
-Strings are 2.5" at bridge, 1.5" at the nut, 1.75" neck width
-Swamp ash body, not the maple
-SN TN15054
-Medium-low action, 1/8th" above 12th fret, 1/16th or less with 1st and 24th fret depressed
-No truss rod
-Frets are in solid playable shape
-Will take up to 200 bucks value in trade. Prime candidates include a VT bass pedal or a nice chorus pedal, or a high end comp pedal (Carl martin, demeter) possibly.
On Approval option
If you are gunshy about buying a used Steinberger, I am willing to sell for 1350 on approval, with up to 350 back from me toward any repairs found to be necessary by Peekamoose guitars. All shipping is on your dime however, that means to Peekamoose and to you.
Whatever it costs to have them go over it (I'd assume around 50-100 bucks or so) and set it up to your specs, I will cover as part of the cost (the 350 available for repairs).
