GT-Pro Deluxe BK : Ok travel guitar

5 years ago

Decent guitar, not sure how much quality you can expect at this price point.

I wish Gibson would do more with this IP and create some higher end steinberger guitars with better specs and quality control.

pros

- Changing strings, intonation and action is a breeze, stable tuning.

- Trem feels solid and can be locked in place with the flip of a lever.

- Obviously very portable and fits in a large suitcase.

- Very comfortable and balanced to play standing or sitting.

cons

- Double ball strings are more expensive and hard to find gauges, they should just ship it with the adapter for regular strings included. It's also really hard to find the adapter now.

- Fretwork is kind of iffy, out of the box it plays if I don't set the action too low but it was only a couple spots that I fixed myself.

- One of the strap bolts didn't fit the hole drilled and came lose so look out for that. Not something you can't fix yourself.

- Had to resolder the bridge pickup.

- Neck profile was thicker than I expected, much more than an ibanez or jackson but this is personal preference.

Pickups are low output for humbuckers. But they sound good enough to me so I'm not going to replace them soon, works fine from clean to high gain.
