Rare Vintage 1986 Steinberger® GL2T w/ Version #1 TransTrem™ – HeadlessUSA
$12,999.00
Description
This is an extremely rare opportunity to own an excellent-condition Steinberger GL2T equipped with the legendary Version #1 Transtrem—one of the few remaining in existence. This particular guitar carries serial number 3708, a few hundred away from Eddie Van Halen’s famous #3340 (used on “Get Up” and “Summer Nights”).
Key Features & Recent Work:
✔ Original Version #1 Transtrem (Fully Rebuilt) – Bearings, shafts, spring, cleaned & lubed
✔ EVH Zero Fret Mod – Per Eddie’s exact specs for enhanced playability
✔ Roller Saddles – Cleaned, burnished & polished @ 28,000 RPM for ultra-smooth trem action
✔ Noiseless Electronics – Volume & tone pots cleaned, controls optimized
✔ Refret & Micro-Polish Finish – Restored to near-new condition
✔ GL-Series Buff & Polish – Body, neck, and faceplate meticulously detailed
✔ Exposed Metal Blackened – Screw heads & hardware darkened
✔ Set-Up & Intonation – Fresh strings, perfect action, and precise tuning stability
Why This Guitar is Special:
- Few Version #1 Transtrem units remain—most were replaced or worn out.
- EVH himself used a nearly identical GL2T (#3340)—can easily be converted to a TT 1.5!
- Rebuilt to near-new condition—plays and performs flawlessly.
- Highly collectible—Steinberger GL2s with original Transtrem systems are in high demand.
This guitar is a true piece of guitar history, meticulously restored to its full glory. Whether you’re a collector, a player, or an EVH fan, this is a chance to own one of the rarest Steinbergers out there.
Don’t miss out—these don’t come up often!
