Steinbeger Synapse 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.
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.
