Ned Steinberger Reinvents the Future — Again
From the brilliant mind of Ned Steinberger comes the NS Design FIN GT6 — a headless solidbody electric guitar from the visionary who stunned the industry way back in 1982 with his groundbreaking GL prototype. This instrument marks quite an evolution from Ned’s original model, boasting a modern multi-scale design, cutting-edge electronics, and state-of-the-art hardware. Built on a solid maple foundation, the FIN GT6 features ergonomic contours, complemented by a spotlight-stealing quilt maple top. The carbon-reinforced maple neck supplies unmatched playing comfort, paired with an ebony fingerboard with 24 medium-jumbo frets. Electronics-wise, the FIN GT6 features four individual EMG S4 single-coil-sized dual-rail passive humbuckers, bolstered by a selectable Mi-Si Activator preamp, which injects your playing with up to 12dB of added gain with a low-impedance output. Additionally, the FIN GT6 includes an incredibly stable NS Fulcrum self-clamping tuning system with up-facing knobs. Trendsetting players searching for a radical axe with forward-looking features will find the FIN GT6 a thrilling conduit for musical expression and exploration.

Four humbuckers, one seriously versatile voice
The NS Design FIN GT6 comes loaded with four individual EMG S4 single-coil-sized humbuckers, arranged in an HSS-like configuration with two pickups doubled at the bridge.

The Mi-Si Activator provides you with up to 12dB of added gain, improving clarity and signal strength, along with low-impedance output. Supercapacitor-powered, the Mi-Si Activator charges in 120 seconds via the output jack, providing 8–12 hours of runtime on a single charge.
