Demon: Feast
your eyes on the ultimate metal monster! With it's devilish looks,
28-5/8" scale length, EMG humbuckers and piezo equipped bridge, there
is no other guitar that can "growl" or has the low-end crunch like the
new Steinberger Synapse "Demon" TranScale. Play it open and it's a
baritone, roll the built-in capo up a couple of frets and it's a normal
25-1/2" guitar. Continue rolling the capo up the neck and… well… it’s
just about anything!
Designed by Ned Steinberger, the Demon is a HYBRID instrument combining
the strength, rigidity and clarity of graphite with the warmth of wood.
At the heart of every Synapse is our Cybrosonic™ neck featuring our
patented graphite U-channel with adjustable truss rod uniquely crafted
into a 3-piece, hard maple neck. We then add a smooth and durable
phenolic fingerboard and a neck-thru body design to create an
instrument with distinctive tonal clarity, sustain, "pop" and response
as well as ultimate stability.
Add
to that, a proprietary piezo-equipped bridge with 1-piece aluminum
saddle combined with low-impedance EMG USA humbuckers and you've got an
instrument with infinite tonal possibilities and increased frequency
response. Isolate the piezo bridge to get simmering acoustic-like
tones. Turn up the EMG's and you’ve got classic, high-output humbuckers
– from clean to super crunchy. Combine the two and let your imagination
run wild.
Other
features include a zero-fret for improved intonation, the new
Steinberger Combo headpiece to allow for the use of DoubleBall™ and
single ball strings and our patented Direct-Drive double-ball bridge
with 40:1 tuners for tuning ease, accuracy and stability that only a
Steinberger can provide. With Steinberger, you can change strings in
seconds, tune up once and not have to tune again until you change
strings again.
Provided
with a premium, padded gigbag, the Synapse Demon’s headless design is
compact and capable of fitting into tight places including most
overhead airplane bins. Put it all together and you’ve got a guitar of
unequalled performance, comfort and flexibility. Steinberger - State of
the Instrument. |
