USED STEINBERGER / GP-3T, Manufactured in 1985, Black [12]

A 1985 GP-3S has arrived.
This model was manufactured and released in the mid-1980s by Steinberger, a pioneer in headless guitars.

It features a body shape distinct from the flagship GL model, with a sharp, angular design—sometimes called “A-frame” or “squid-shaped”—and comes standard with a pickguard.

Unlike the GL, which features a one-piece carbon-graphite body and neck, this GP is a value-oriented model that employs a bolt-on joint connecting a maple body to a carbon-graphite neck.

The “3” indicates it has three single-coil pickups, while the “T” signifies that it is equipped with “Trans Trem,” an innovative, transposable tremolo unit system.

The noise-free, clear sound produced by the carbon graphite neck, maple body, and EMG single-coil pickups pairs well with distortion and spatial effects pedals, and since it also complements digital sounds, it suits a wide range of contemporary music genres and styles.

A string adapter is included, making it compatible with standard strings that do not have double ball ends.
While there are minor scratches and dents throughout the body, and the hardware shows some tarnish, the guitar is in good condition with minimal signs of wear, considering its year of manufacture.
As is common with many instruments of this model, the rubber band on the nut is missing.
It has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent.
It comes with the original soft case, though it has a few tears that have been reinforced with tape.
This does not affect storage or transport.
