I was right about Headless guitars

I gigged a Steinberger a few months ago.

Being 6 foot 4 tall, I looked ludicrous. But my back never felt better the next morning (post-gig anyways).

They look stupid, but when you're advancing in years, they're a godsend.

I picked up a Lefty Kiesel Osiris in a store recently just to feel the ergos, would have played if built for normal, right-handed people. :giggle:

But it's simply too small on me, looked like a toy.....:dunno:

I am who I am, so it wouldn't change my playing, but it would look like I was holding a miniature. I'd still like to snag a nice one for studio use only, especially an OG Steingberger GR with Transtrem or a modern equivalent. EVH and a few others put that to good use. If I have the option, I'll probably get a multi-scale headless.

I have noticed a lot of headless Trendjumpers do NOT hang on to those guitars for very long. They might make a few YT vids talking about how great they are, then a few years later they are back to conventional guitars.....seems headless guitars are easy to play but don't have the same level of Toan.
 
I blocked Rhett's channel years ago (along with other cringey youtubers like glenn fucker, kyle balls, stevie low-t, etc..).

First time watching his channel in years and I remember exactly why. It's not the opinions, it's not the tone, it's not his playing. It's that disgusting lip smacking WET lip sound that comes from his mouth. Right around 18:00 you can just hear this disgusting wet sound coming from his mouth. IT'S FUCKING GROSS.
 
I think they have some interesting features, some of the trems in particular. But... they're definitely fugly to me. I can't see ever wanting to play one on stage myself. If someone else likes them good on them.

Do you have Sloshophobia?
 
Does anyone watch Glen or Rhett channel ?
I don't.

Ironically I am thinking about buying a 7 and 8 string Boden.
 
Fricker is pure comedy gold....like the Spinal Tap of guitar social media

Rhett Shill is the social media equivalent of a gear barker / carnie like carnivals used to have...
