I checked the tone and volume pots and neither lock in the middle position, so I guess its settled, a GM-4T. After reading your response as to modifications and the fact it would lowerthe value, I've decided to keep this in it original state. I was thinking about those pickups, dont get me wrong, they sound awesome and so clean. I just hate dealing with the battery and thought about the possibility of an upgrade there. Or downgrade depending onhowyou look at it. But nonetheless, I will keep it as is. How did you determine the date of manufacturing? I'm asking because there is a guy on youtube withmy exact model and he is saying his is a 1980-88?

Knobs lol I literally just call them the volume and tone knobs ha. Never heard them called pots before, but its useful to learn something new everyday. Upon further inspection, I do not see a center notch on the tone pot. So Im guessing its a GM-4T, which brings me to my next question. What is the value of this model? is it rare? Should I have it insured? Could Steinburger do any kind of modifications to it, if I wanted that?

Tone pot?

500kb is small lol so I had to chop the pic. Anyways, here is the body, front view, headstock and the serial. I tried to give a pic of the back but it was denied because it exceeded a 200kb file size lol Side note, this thing has Active EMG pickups. I hate 9volt batteries....

I inherited a Steinburger USA guitar and cannot find out anything about it. The serial number reads, N11904. Any information is greatly appreciated
