Steinberger Guitars Gt-Pro Deluxe HR

Surprisingly good

I have a number of conventional 6 strings, although I am primarily a bass player. I bought this as a travel guitar, I needed something that takes up a lot less space than a 'normal' 6 string.

Pros: Much smaller footprint than any other guitar I have, takes up very little space in a car full of the half of the house that she who must be obeyed insists on packing whenever we travel. Very glossy and blemish free finish - looks very impressive. To my ears the pickups are pretty good, I have no complaints as to their output and tones. The electronics seem to be of a high standard, matching the rest of the construction. Very nice neck finish and feel. The neck is comfortable to play. The guitar is light and the factory set up is perfectly OK, although I will probably lower the action a little. The versatile bridge is a wonderful feature - being able to hard tail the guitar by simply swinging the locking arm into position nis fabulous. Stays in tune very well.

Cons: double ball end strings are expensive. So I bought a Steinberg adaptor to enable the use of standard strings. Setting the hard tail and tremolo is a bit tricky. Looking very closely there are a few areas inside the single coil pickup cavity that were missed when it was sprayed and one rough bit of routing. That is the only reason why I have docked one star from quality.

Conclusion: this guitar surprised me, it is actually so good that I might very well gig it as a standby with the two guitar duo I play in, although my Schekter is always going to win that battle!

I'm not impressed...

The features are great on paper, but the quality of the bridge is horrible. I have to use a screwdriver to tune my guitar since they are impossible to turn by hand...

I put some P100 lub everywhere and nothing improve...

Great Instrument

I was excited to have one since 80's and I cant be more happy with this amazing instrument. Realization of a dream, probably i wil buy another soon.

Good practice tool.

Bought it for recording with an audio interface.

I expected a light weight instrument for playing a lot of time that does not take too much space in my room. That is exactly what i get. Did not like the built in pick ups so i changed them and maybe the electronics could be better. Loved the finish, the capability of locking the tremolo and how easy is to change strings with these double ball end type.

Great Value For The Money

Steinberger Spirit 2018 are the greatest guitars I've found in this price-range. After setup they are a true joy to play... ergonomically and sound wise !

I would easily recommend it for any guitar lover. Also a great travel companion.

Value for money-Taveller guitar

I own this guitar a few months now.The idea behind this purchase was to own a guitar that is easy to have it with me when I travel,I travel a lot because of my job.So,for this kind of use i believe its a good value for money.The sound its not sth superb,i believe with some aftermarket pick ups will sound better(not interested really).The feel on the guitar its good for the money but the tremolo i suggest to keep it locked because its not so stable as far as the tuning.Its just a good traveller guitar for practice and jamming with some backing tracks in a hotel room.So,if you looking for a descent traveller guitar i think that is a way to go.
