Explanation
A hybrid construction featuring a graphite neck and a maple body!
Steinberger is a brand founded in the early 1980s by Ned Steinberger—who was also a designer of commercial furniture—and Stuart Spector, a bass guitar craftsman known for the “Spector” bass brand. The brand introduced innovative designs that could be described as a “revolution” that overturned the conventional wisdom of electric guitars and electric basses at the time. Combining ergonomically designed bodies, graphite necks made from synthetic resin—a hallmark of Steinberger—highly original parts, and exceptional craftsmanship, the brand has been favored by world-class guitarists and bassists such as Edward Van Halen,Steve Howe, Bill Wyman, and other world-class guitarists and Bassists, and remains a premier brand of headless guitars and Basses that continues to captivate fans around the world.
The XP-2 inherits the DNA of the company’s iconic one-piece XL-2 while combining a traditional wooden body with a bolt-on graphite neck. This instrument is a modified model featuring EMG-HB pickups and an active circuit.
A major feature is its ability to deliver the organic, warm tone characteristic of a wooden body, as opposed to a one-piece graphite body. Unlike the typical wide-range, attack-heavy sound associated with EMG pickups, the high end has a soft, rounded quality. It produces a natural, rich tone that maintains clear definition while delivering a solid core in the midrange.
Since this is an active modification of an originally passive model, replacing the battery requires removing the entire pickguard—a somewhat labor-intensive task—but the one-of-a-kind, exquisite tone that can only be experienced with this particular instrument more than makes up for it!
