Classic Steinberger Design with R-Trem System
Boasting the company's iconic headless design, the Steinberger Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe has been dubbed the Ultimate Travel Guitar. That said, it's so much more than that. This lightweight solidbody electric guitar features a compact basswood body anchored by a patented 40:1-ratio Direct-Pull tuning system and an R-Trem locking tremolo, giving it rock-solid tuning stability from stem to stern. The Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe's near-indestructible 3-piece hard maple neck flaunts an ultra-comfortable 1960s SlimTaper "D" profile with a faster-than-light 14-inch-radius, 24-fret fingerboard with medium-jumbo frets. You also get a tone-packed set of Steinberger pickups in a versatile HSH configuration, putting an entire universe of ear-grabbing sonic textures at your fingertips. A folding leg rest completes the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe, ensuring an inspiring playing experience whether you're seated or standing. Steinberger guitars were bold when they were first introduced in 1979, and the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe carries the company's tradition of future-looking electric guitars proudly into the present.
Steinberger's iconic headless design
The Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe features a basswood body and a 3-piece hard maple neck, both of which were specially designed to resonate as a single piece of wood. Steinberg's iconic headless design not only makes the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe incredibly compact and ergonomic, but it also makes this solidbody electric guitar highly resistant to temperature and humidity changes. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have also found the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe's 1960s SlimTaper "D"-shaped neck incredibly playable. Plus, its 14-inch-radius, 24-fret fingerboard facilitates lightning-fast fretwork like nothing else out there. Want to play sitting down? No problem. The Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe's folding leg rest makes playing in any position easy and comfortable.
Rock-solid hardware
You won't find many guitars as solid and reliable as the Steinberger Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe. Its patented R-Trem locking tremolo and 40:1-ratio Direct-Pull tuning system offer tremendous tuning stability, and its Zero Nut fret maintains incredibly accurate intonation — even in intense playing situations. You can lock the R-Trem and treat the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe like a hardtail or unlock the trem to let loose with extreme pitch pyrotechnics — in both directions — with absolute impunity. You'll appreciate how easy it is to make quick adjustments with the fine tuners on this guitar's bridge. To top it off, you can use the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe with both Steinberger DoubleBall strings or with regular strings via a Single Ball adapter.
Versatile HSH pickup configuration
You can coax an endless array of scorching tones out of the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe. It features Steinberger's red-hot HB-1 and HB-2 humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions, respectively, along with a full-range SC-1 single-coil pickup in the middle position. Whether you're chasing glassy chime, full-bore grind, or something in between these two extremes, the Spirit GT-PRO Deluxe is ready for action. Controls include a master volume, a master tone, and a 5-way pickup selector.
