But the ZT3 isn’t just about the TransTrem. This new “Z” design created by Ned Steinberger is a HYBRID instrument combining the strength, rigidity and clarity of graphite with the warmth and beauty of wood. With Steinberger, you can change strings in seconds, tune up once and not have to tune again until you change strings again. Steinberger - State of the Instrument.
