Solid Body Electric Guitars

Steinberger David Bowie Custom L-Series

In this 1991 Brian Aris photograph, Bowie is posing with a pair of metal Steinberger guitars that were made for him by Ned Steinberger.

More information is available about the guitar at this auction website, which tells the story of the guitar's creation. "With graphite and carbon fiber body and faceplate, with micrometer style tuners for use with double ball strings and double EMG pickups. The guitar is one of two custom chrome-finished guitars created by Ned Steinberger.[My emphasis added, as it explains both guitars in the photo.] Steinberger sent Bowie another L-series that had been used for the test run of the chrome body treatment... Bowie used the guitar for the 1991-1992 Tin Machine tour and during the recording sessions for the 1991 album Tin Machine II."
