Does take a bit of getting used to, but easier to play than you may expect for its size and shape. The hard maple construction makes it a bright sounding guitar. GT3 is a nice player and better built than you may expect for a guitar at this price point. Headpiece does not fit as the screw holes and plate does not align These can be found on eBay for about $40. So the first thing I did was look for a String Adaptor that will allow the use of standard strings. If you are like me, you probably have your favorite makers and strings sets. First off they are expensive and you will be limited to only a few string makers. The first thing you find out about headless Steinberger style guitars is that they use double ball-end strings (each end of the string has a ball). These guitars are well thought out, but the strings they use…. Being a neck thru design makes the guitar pretty resonant and gives it sustain. The GT3 utilizes a zero fret so open notes have a similar tone as fretted notes. Visit SteinbergerWorld to learn more about bridge types on these guitars. Note that not all Steinberger bridge types are interchangeable and may require a different route. Steinberger S-Trem and Trans- Trem bridges are more advanced. The Hohner GT3 being a budget model has what is known as an R-Trem that utilizes a design more like a traditional knife edge tremolo. The locking tremolo bridge is one huge feature that make Steinberger owners love their instruments. These are unique guitars designed by Ned Steinberger, a true innovator in solid body electric guitars. Light, small with easy access to 24 frets. Almost looks like the illegitimate “son” of a Gibson Flying V. The Steinberger style GT3 reminds me of a shortened Flying V. Might not be my last as I really like it. Weight is a bit heavier than I might have expected at 5-lbs 11-ozs. The C-shaped neck is on the fatter side and feels a bit like my Les Paul. Controlled with mini toggles for each pickup, a coil tap for the bridge-position humbucker, one volume, one tone control and includes a adjustable truss rod and fold-out leg rest. It features a maple neck-thru construction and maple wings, poly finish, 24-fret 14 inch radius rosewood fingerboard, HSS pickup configuration and licensed Steinberger locking tremolo. But much more than a “travel guitar” as it is a very cool instrument. The Hohner G3T-BK (BK is for black) Headless Guitar being lightweight and quite compact makes it great for travel. I felt I would not only bring this on trips a few times a year, but would play it on other occasions as well.

Pretty amazing for a guitar with a 25 1/2 full scale. The GT3 is shorter in length than my Martin Backpacker only being about 30 inches long. I felt these shorter scale “travel guitars” were more of a “one-trick” guitar and ended up opting for the GT3 instead. I compared the Hohner GT3 to Traveler EG-1 Custom and the Voyager Transaxe Telair both of which actually cost a bit more than the GT3.
