Headless electric guitar with HSH pickups and R-Trem locking tremolo, including gigbag
The Steinberger Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe Black offers an unmistakable silhouette and unbeatable playing comfort thanks to the uncompromising headless design. Thus, the full-length maple neck sits comfortably in the hand and, with the "1960 Slim Taper D" profile between the 24 frets of the rosewood fingerboard, lets every note slip easily out of the hand. Furthermore, the compact basswood body houses an extremely variable HSH pickup assembly that delivers the right sound for every musical style between pop, rock and metal when used with a guitar amplifier. Last but not least, the Steinberger Spirit GT-Pro is equipped with the Steinberger R-Trem Locking tremolo, which keeps the tuning even during the most relentless whammy-bar operations.
The Steinberger Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe comes in the typical headless design and delivers versatile sounds with the HSH pickup setup.

Steinberger Spirit GT-Pro Deluxe BK Black, incl. Deluxe Gigbag
I wanted a travel guitar, having had a blackstar carry-on, which is fine but the scale is short and so licks I practiced on it didn't immediately sit under my fingers on my full sized guitar (it did sound good though). This is the other way round, I like the look, the intonation and tuning is super stable, once you've got it right it just stays there, brilliant! The only downside is the huge volume difference in the pickups, using the 5 way switch you get loud & bright on bridge, ok stratty tone on 2, middle pickup (position 3 is hardly audible), then pos 4 is a nice neck strat sound and the neck pick up suddenly beings you to bridge level volumes. I have tried adjusting them but I don't think they are amazing pickups (unless you only play positions 1 & 5 in which case fill-yer-boots! I'm happy with the guitar, and it is definitely a keeper, but I will probably swap out the pickups when I have time & budget. I would definitely recommend with those caveats.

Its discovery is worth the price as a starting shell !
The Steinberger system has always been an expensive UFO in the music world. Today a summary of it is inscribe in this cheap guitar. Material (wood, paint, false rosewood touch "stained",etc) are alright. The instrument is well built : proper tuning and proper action can always be found and set. Tuning is kept. People who say it's not are not setting it right. The accompanying manual must be red ! The electronic parts (switches, pots, etc) are very cheap. The microphones are very low quality however I found the humbuckers powerful enough and I only replaced the single coil by a slim humbucker. Replacement of the 010 factory strings by 009 strings releases the action which becomes low and the instruments becomes very very comfy after adjusting the strings heights (read the manual !). In summary I am very happy with the feel and the adjusted sound of this guitar ! It is a piece of history now which I am gonna a play for a long time !
Hi this is a great sounding guitar and it comes in left handed also a very prompt delivery well packaged and a fare price can’t fault it really well pleased
