I had one of the Spirit models, and stupidly let it get away. I', 6'4 and 300 and plenty pounds. I know it looked and it also felt small but I loved playing it. I would take it everywhere with me, got a little cheapo headphone only amp and I could play and practice anywhere. I travel in my work and trust me, the neighbors at the Marriott don't want to hear you running scales at night, but with my little Steinberger and the headphone amp I was all set. Add a Sony MP3 player and I was set.

@Vermillion2176 You won't be gettin one now. I decided to get a new one after mine went under water in the storm, but they are 3 times more expensive than when I first decided to get this one.

DAMN that things freakin PUNY!!!!!

I've been looking in on steinbergers because I'm intersted in getting one and size has been mentioned but its NEVER looked this small to me before

[ericladnier]

I'm 6'4" tall, and was about 220 lb when I made this video, so keep that in mind. Could make the guitar look smaller than it really is, but it actually is quite small even in the hands of a normal person.

@ACDCwarmachine

Prices on them have been very erratic. For a period of time, they were out of favor and you could find them on closeout sale for $179... Then, for a period of time, they apparently slowed (or stopped) production and they were backordered forever and everyone panicked, driving the prices up over $500 for used units on ebay... Now, they seem to have settled at $400 on MF (and they're in stock), but you rarely see them used and when you do, they sell for VERY close to new prices.

[ACDCwarmachine]

@ericladnier you paid $100 for this? if you times that by 3 times and add them, thats $400. the price of one now a days

@silverstaralchemist Ehh..the ZT-3 has that complicated transtrem that doesn't work like the original 80's one did. Plus it only has two pickups and is awfully cumbersome for traveling.

[silverstaralchemist]

@fdsman Their ZT-3 model does this as well.

[fdsman]

Haven't you heard of looting after hurricanes? That's exactly why.

[fdsman]

the neck length is the same. The neck material and the tremolo are very different. The spirits only have a floyd rose type tremolo. The 80's and 90's steinbergers had the transtrem which could transpose.

[fdsman]

That's the point of it. It's not puny it's extremely strong and the perfect size. It does what travel guitars can't while still enabling you to travel with it, and have a 24 fret full scale neck, WITH three pickups.
