I‘ve had this Steinberger Spirit for about 12-13 years. I bought it to take on employment because it’s about the size of a cricket bat. I yanked out the original pickups and put some passive EMG’s in it and put it in the case. The deployment never happened and it basically got ignored for the Luke, the Clapton, the JEM, and so on…
I don’t know, maybe the fact that it‘s had a decade to dry out, but I just picked it up tonight and put it on the FM3 with my lightly modified Later Eddie patch and… magic. It’s a cheap guitar that I expected would be half destroyed by multiple trips to the sandbox, but it just sustained really well and played very smoothly. It wasn’t what I remembered it to be at all. I did have it set up a few years ago but didn’t play it much when it came out of the shop. It basically felt the same then as I remembered it from the day I bought it - clunky and awkward. This time around, though, it felt completely different In a really good way.
Has that ever happened to you? Pick up an instrument that you’d basically written off to find its way better somehow? Just figured out too late how smokin hot the girl next door always was?
