Something a bit different up next, a Hohner G3T Spirit headless guitar. I bought this for a very specific reason, I wanted a small guitar that I could play in my cluttered garage without worrying about bashing the headstock or damaging the guitar. This fitted the bill perfectly and was not expensive (used via eBay).
The guitar may look familiar to those with long memories because it is effectively a cheap licensed copy of the original Steinberger headless guitars made in the 90s. Those were expensive carbon fibre composite guitars with very fancy ‘Trans-Trem’ systems. This is not! It is all wood with a licensed simplified Steinberger trem which does nothing fancier than being lockable.
It has a tapped humbucker and two single coil pickups (from memory) and of course requires double ball ended strings. Tuning is done (rather stiffly) via the base of the bridge.
It does have one major advantage over all similarly shaped guitars, a pop out knee rest so that it can be played sitting down. Such a simple addition but it makes all the difference. Guitar strap mounting points are at both pointy ends of the base so they act as feet too as well as making it easy for left handers to use.
