Very nice!
Nice, I have the standard GT version of this. It’s a versatile little axe, though I find the neck a bit chunky.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Nice birthday gift. I love the colour!

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
Update:
I've just checked the status of my purchase on eBay, and it says that the seller posted it to me and it's on it's way, I should be expecting delivery of it next fortnight.
Update:
Guess what arrived in the post today?......my new Steinberger guitar:
Once I get my digital camera recharged, I'll take some better quality pics of it, this pic was taken using my new Opel Smart X6 mobile phone I bought as a replacement for my old Google Pixel 3 phone, the battery went all gassy in it and caused it to bulge.

Very compact body.
Interested to know how it sounds.
Would make a great kit if Pitbull wanted to expand its range.
Pitbull don't seem to do their headless kits at all now.
Glad I got mine when I did.
First (proper) build: http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=8546
Second build: http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ad.php?t=10229
To my ears it sounds a lot like a Hot Rodded Fender Strat, the neck is made from hard maple, and the body is made from Basswood according to the Steinberger website, and yes the neck is a full 25.5 inch Fender Scale neck, pickups are passive types, although you could retrofit some active EMGs in it if you wanted to, I just made a single ball-end string adaptor for my Steinberger guitar so I could put a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky 42-09 gauge strings on it, so far the adaptor I made seems to work well enough, I'm going to order a commercially made adaptor online next fortnight.
Reason why I put the Super Slinkys on....the stock strings were 46-10 gauge strings so I found them a bit too heavy for my liking, in terms of string-tension.
I agree, I did see at least one Headless guitar kit and one Headless bass kit in amongst the range of kits on offer, they might have been discontinued for some reason, maybe Adam might know why.
