In my opinion the answer to your question is...NO!
The body (if it was it was really messed up by someone) and the trem (can't tell because the picture of the trem is not complete) may have been on a Steinberger at one time but nothing else looks like any Steinberger I have ever seen.
Steinbergers do not use wood on the necks, that was the main thing that set them apart. The Steinberger Spirit may have used wood and some parts guitar from Ed Roman may have used wood but none from Steinberger had any wood used in the neck.
The middle pickup looks like a trashed Hot Rail. Don't know what the others are.
Hope this helps!

They sell for $900 to $1200 depending on condition. Most were made around 2008. Nice guitar but not the Steinberger that most people are looking for.

You have a picture of the serial number. Hard to tell color, looks in-between cherry burst and tobacco burst. Steinberger Synapse ST-2FPA TranScale Custom

The spring tension (thumb wheel) on back of guitar counter acts the pull of the strings. Did you watch the video I posted a link too?
-
If someone has adjusted the back knob where the spring has come loose or if someone has remove the spring you will need to remove the back cover to see what has happened hopefully just putting the spring back in place. Hope this helps!

This may also help. Ned Steinberger shows how to setup ZT-3 Transtrem.

I adjusted that screw out. I read the manual as you suggested but cannot figure this out. When moving out of locked tremolo it the bridge just drops strongly back down to the lowest position. Any help is appreciated.
There is a spring that counteracts the pull of the strings, and it is adjusted by the knob on the back of the guitar. If this knob is adjusted to loose, the strings will pull the tremolo bar to the lowest position, you must tighten the spring/ knob so that it counteracts the pull of the strings. -
Or this one. R-Trem setup video.

A real cure for the issue this post is about would be to make sure all measurements and hardware or correct and properly installed. If the bridge was installed too close to the neck you would have this problem also.

You can get better posts that will not bend. I don’t have a link at the moment. Will try to find it.
-
Make sure your trem posts are not bent forward and the whole trem is not too far farward because of the bent post. Also I have seen defective strings cause problems with intonation.
-
Having used double ball strings since the 80’s I have had intonation problems that were solved by changing string brands and by reversing the ball ends from bridge to nut. So if you want to give it another try I would try switching ends and if that does not do it try another brand and gauge of string. Good luck!

You must be talking about an R-trem? Hex screws next to the hole tightens the grip on the trem arm.

Yeah, I was aware the pickups were not original. Can I ask why you believe the paint is not original?
No Steinberger logo among other things.
-
Also that would be a GR4 not a GM4.
-
I would say not original paint or pickups. That is my opinion.
-
Do you still have the original Seymour Duncan pickups in the GR4? If so I would doubt that what you want to replace them with will sound better. Just my opinion.

You may need to use another string that string may be defective. Or use a slightly smaller gauge string. It is not uncommon for the low E string to be far back.

No
May be worth something to somebody
Looks like it has a Hohner R-Trem on it.

You'er not the first one to have this problem. They make a few devices to make it easier. Knob puller

That serial number was removed. Someone did not want it to be identified for some reason.
