jeffthewookiee Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I need help identifying a Steinberger guitar. The serial number is: N13989. It has a headstock with tuning keys, a Strat-ish shaped body, and 3 EMG pickups, HSH configuration. 2 tone knobs and one flick switch that I'm guessing switches the pickups from active to passive. It's a deep sea green/blue color. Can anyone help me ID this guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] The headstock says: this is a Steinberger GS, HSH configuration makes it a GS-7, and the flick switch doesn't toggle active/passive, but humbucker/single coils on the two "H" EMGs (89). Do you have a photo you could upload somewhere? I'm not sure about the serial, but it sounds like one of the later/last Newburgh serials. Which trem does the guitar have?

Be.eM Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Here's a photo...also any idea of the value? Nice :-) The value is a little bit hard to estimate. I've been told recently that they "would cost 2000 to 3500$ depending on shape, originality and setup." From what I see, it's a GS-7T (with TransTrem), but without an "A" standing for an active EQ (this would have a stacked pot at the tone pot position). AFAIK the "pickguard" fragment is not standard, this seems to be a modification, which may have caused some ugly holes in the body. This will most likely reduce the price from the maximum written above. OTOH, being equipped with a TransTrem makes this guitar residing in the upper price area. Depends on the rest (fretwear, condition of the trem, etc.). Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graafstrat Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 This seems like an original GS neck and body. I cannot tell if it has the HAZ labs active eq board, like an original GS7TA. This one looks customized to use a TransTrem III. Can you shoot pictures of the guitar's back? I believe the value is somewhere near the 1800 - 2000$ mark, since it's not original.

Eagle Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 That is not a TT it is a retrofitted Kahaler. Ed Roman offered this mod . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
