Overview

Using cybrosonic technology, Steinberger combines the rigidity, strength, clarity, and definition of graphite with the warmth and beauty of wood in their Synapse SS2F electric guitar. The Steinberger SS2F features a 3-piece hard maple neck with a graphite U-channel and truss rod producing an adjustable neck that's extremely stable.

Improved intonation from a zero fret. Unique Steinberger Combo headpiece improves balance, ease of tuning, and tuning stability while the patented Direct-Drive double-ball bridge lets you change strings in seconds then tune up once and not have to tune again until you change strings.

I have this in white. Its a shredder guitar basically, with the EMG 81/85 pair. For hard rock and metal you cant go wrong, perhaps you can play some blues on this guitar if you keep the tone relatively clean, but forget about country music, this aint a country guitar at all. If you want a guitar that does it all get a Gibson les Paul Standard. If you want a guitar you can shred and travel with then this is a strong option. This guitar responds best to massive distortion or gain, if you want a good clean sound go with a Fender Strat. Best feature is the string change which just involves placing the double ball strings in the slots and tightening by hand.
