The bottom two tuning pegs are in a horrendous position.

No.

They are also intended to function the bottom strap buttons
I like they've added an arm to extend the upper strap attachment to a more standard position & included an optional arm rest thing. However I think the deal killer for me would be the lack of volume control.

I'm surprised the mfg included pics that show a couple flaws at the headstock....makes you wonder.
 
I've never found a need for this type of guitar. But I've never been on business trips etc...I suppose for someone that needed it for that reason it would be good enough but it's not for me.
 
My bad. While we're at it, can we get it to $10k? Hold on a moment, I'm getting a call from Gibson on the other line ... they want me to work there!

(what did they cost in the 80's? cuz I recall seeing a few, but thought they were +/- a US Strat in price?)
 
I have a copy of a 1986 price list. A GL2TA like in the pic I posted was $2290 in 1986. That works out to $5058 in 2017 equivalent dollars. The wooden body models with the R trem and non active preamp could be found for around grand list in 86, so a street price might have been about the price of a US strat.

Grunge killed the demand off for a long time, and I bought mine as a NOS early 90's model for 1400 bucks in the late 90's (the list by then was close around $3700). I think there were a lot of NOS stuff sold at bargain prices when the concept fell out of favor and Gibson wanted out. Entirely possible the US strat pricing you saw was from that era. They were so cheap I bought two of them. :) I think they are back to collectable again.

You could be a manager at Gibson with that pricing. Sign up Eddie Van Halen for a $50K "Summer Nights" Limited Edition Steinberger GL and you can run the whole company.

Any experience w/ the synapse trans-scale guitars? How to they stack up?

I've never played one. I know they were made in Korea and some of the Steinberger purists didn't really like that. I have several Korean guitars so that wouldn't really be an issue for me. I just never saw one anywhere to try. The transcale idea seems pretty cool to me.
