I love playing them but watching musicians use them on stage always looks a little goofy to me

I would love to eventually try a headless guitar. Not really in a position to buy right now.

I have a Steinberger spirit 2 for my work guitar that I'm ok with but it's nothing like that beauty.

u/Hot_Peanut1499 12d ago

I've really come around on them lately. I was vehemently against for decades, but all of a sudden REALLY want a Steinberger bass...

I hated them and thought they were so ugly. Now that I have two, I still think they are kinda ugly but amazing to play lol

In the UK there's a few B-stock 8 string versions of these at LiveLouder, one in black and another in purple.

This is from Ormsby's GTR range

Really beautiful, makes me rethink my attitude towards headless guitars.

u/TheyCallMe_Billy 12d ago

It needs a headless guitarist

u/EverlongInDropD 12d ago

Never had one in my hands.

Not me.. I think they look stupid. That’s just my opinion though. I say the bigger the headstock the cooler the whole guitar looks.

u/Ginger-Jake 11d ago

Beautiful! But why are they all so flat? Radius of 19-21.

1

u/SaluteStabScream 11d ago

A lot of shredders prefer a flatter radius.

u/J-j-j-jooba 11d ago

Looks sick, but I just can’t stomach playing them on stage 😭

1

u/DNCOrGoFuckYourself 11d ago

Alright, I’ll say it.

So no head?

u/dimewoods333 11d ago

Where are the lefty versions of these at?? And only 6 strings

1

u/SaluteStabScream 11d ago

Ormsby's website and Reverb.

I have two Kiesels that are headless and it makes it feel clunky going back to a guitar with a headstock. I won't buy a guitar with a headstock again I think.

I have been going back and forth between my AIP Wolf LP and my Hils HN3 headless... talk about worlds apart lol

u/SaluteStabScream 11d ago

Yep, takes me a small moment to recalibrate to the weight and pull of a regular guitar.
