Title: New Steinberger Guitar?

Maybe the 20/20 Reissue is not totally dead..............

Sells his name brand, starts a new brand then gets a job designing something that can be mass produced from Gibson while still maintaining his own operation. My hunch is the new instruments would be limited to guitars since he doesn't already make them with NS design and basses would be a conflict of interest. I think a 20/20 redux is as likely as Geddy Lee bringing back his 80s hair
