Made in Korea .... trs and yet good quality! Dcidment, they are strong these Koren . As do many manufacturers of guitars, Steinberger (led by Gibson) presents here a copy of the version purse clbre SERIES GM. If we lose the battle some of carractristiques who have made the success of Steinberger guitars (graphite shaft, Trans Trem ...) the GU-Deluxe Nevertheless trs guitar int esting:

UTILIZATION

The guitar factory silent RULES trs well but goes with a set of 9-42 strings of rather poor quality. After chang by real Steinberger string (you can easily find on the net or in store if the seller wants well bother to order) is nikel: the handle is comfortable trs diabason short and to mount a set of strings 9-46 or 10-52 without tension is too high.
That said, the most remarkable on this guitar is the vibrato and the system of mounting the strings. The vibrato (R-Trem) is a system that trs trs stable and robust floating tremolo (I think better than a floyd rose). The cores possdent a ball each extrmit allowing to change in 30 seconds by the clock! Moreover, as there is no sticking point, the guitar is impossible dsacorder, even after a dive bomb an octave is a real treat!
The tuning is done on the bridge, which is quite handy once you get used. But the top is the fact that the SETTING THE tension spring vibrato (which operates in the transition pressure and not tension, making it less fragile beacoup) is via a knob located the rear of the vibrato. So no need to dvisser plate when changing pulling strings.
The ultimate thing is the switch that blocks the vibrato if necessary. Ideal to be able to finish a piece of string breaking an APRS!
Ergonomics standard, nothing to say good trs Access in acute, beautiful and above all is asser lgre trs compact due to the absence of head sleeve (perfect for play 5 on a 2-m2 scne without stun singer .

SOUNDS

O The apche is in sound: the guitar sounds so good either trs branch, not EMG Select pickups as the top ... missing a lot of prcison ...
In the light passes a nikel, but for heavy distortion is not IDAL: srieusement will consider change at least the bridge pickup.
Apart from the knobs and a switch are of good quality: a crack at all.

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly for the price (I paid 399 euros in the Music-Yo era or they taient in Europe) this guitar kills everything! It's been two years since I, and since I play my Start virtually no US! The Steinberger is much more comfortable, and especially do not dsacorde! It's been 15 years since I played guitar, and I tried a bunch of guitars diffrent ... Frankly from the MusicMan a friend (but not the same budget I have not found better.
Conclusion: If you are a addepte the use of vibrato is the guitar for you!
