Showing the headstock with the gearless tuners and the open electronics compartment might help dating that instrument, too. I own a couple of GS guitars myself, but none of them configured like you describe. So please make those pics available, otherwise nobody can tell you anything about this guitar. BTW, your caps lock key seems to be stuck… ;) Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be.eM Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Maybe try this link?? Hi, yes, the link works, however, I can not look at the bigger pictures without creating an account on this nagging website, which I'm not going to do. Anyway, from looking at the smaller pics: I cannot tell you if this is a "prototype". It has some details which look interesting and seem - at least - to prove that it's an older GS. It has the old Newburgh style knobs (which weren't used on production models), and also the gearless tuners (as far as I can see) look very "old style", like the first or second generation of those tuners. The pickup configuration is unknown to me, Steinberger always had the 89-SA-89R combination on their GM-7 and GS-7 models, except the few ones that came with passive pickups. The little toggle switch looks more like a modification to me, done afterwards. What does it do? Enable the bridge pickup independent from the position of the 5-way switch?. I haven't seen such a switch at this strange position on any Steinie with a 5-way switch elsewhere. All -7 models which have such a toggle switch have it behind the 5-way switch. The electronics compartment looks a little bit less "tidy" than on other original Steinberger guitars. I tend to think the guitar is completely original regarding neck, bridge and body, but the little toggle switch might be an aftermarket addition. It doesn't make too much sense on a guitar with a 5-way switch. However, I don't know for sure. It's an interesting instrument, and surely a keeper.

Be.eM Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Could you tell me when first GS was realised? The first GS was listed in 1991, most of them were built during the years 1991-93. Only a few came later, until the end of the Nashville era in 1998. Oh, by the way: are you from France? Then you should probably send me some pics for our Steinieland gallery. You'll find my e-mail address on that page :) Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
