This Steinberger ZT3 is the guitar you’ve been waiting for because it is better than all those other drop-d hip-bending d-tuna guitars on the market. Straight from the factory it has the ability to change tuning keys on the fly. Want to play a 1/2 step down for a Poison song? Need to drop a whole stop for some Hendrix? Need to drop D or drop C? Maybe you want to tune to the key of C for some crunching death metal? No more do you need to keep a half dozen guitar on the stage- this one can do it all! This model came out 7+ years ago, and as good as it was didn’t get the attention it deserved.

The Steinberger ZT3-Custom TransTrem Electric Guitar has a flamed maple top for killer looks, and a transposing tremolo system to make instant tuning changes on stage. You can transpose up or down a whole step, in half step increments, to give you five different on-the-spot tunings. Add to this Steinberger’s brilliant design features such as the tune-it-once direct-drive double-ball bridge and graphite-reinforced neck with ultrafast phenolic fingerboard and you’ve got a truly advanced and infinitely playable electric guitar.The ZT3 Custom guitar has USA-made humbuckers that offer volume, tone and individual coiltapping on both pickups so you can choose a variety of thick humbucker and bright, bell-like tone combinations.Improved intonation from a zero fret. Unique Steinberger headpiece improves balance, ease of tuning, and tuning stability while the ZT3-Custom’s patented Direct-Drive double-ball bridge lets you change strings in seconds then tune up once and not have to tune again until you change strings.

This is a very collectible, and very playable instrument. If you see one appear on eBay, you should snap it up – this is now a rarer breed.
