Last year I bought an Epiphone Firebird ex-demo and cheap. Comfy to play but it can do only one thing - a nice blues tone. Nothing I did to it would let any treble out. Later I discovered how much glue (and gaps!) there was around the neck to body join, I put the lack of treble down to that.
And what of the Steinberger tuners you ask?
I like them a lot. So much so that I removed them from the Firbird and put them on my Tele-copy-hotrod.
There are things you need to be aware of with the Steinberger tuners. The average muso might not get along with them, I'm an engineer so I take it all in my stride...
There are some fiddly little allen head grub screws. They fall out due to vibration. Put Locktite on them! All Harley owners have locktite red (the strongest) somewhere around the house, use it.
The Tele tuners found their way onto the Firebird.
