Now available a very rare original pearl white Steinberger GM4TA that was built in the Newburgh, New York Steinberger factory before Gibson finally closed it down. This would have been one of the last of the Newburgh-built guitars, as it features the second version body without binding. This is NOT a "Music-Yo" guitar with a 4-bolt Moses neck. A very rare guitar, especially in this type of nearly immaculate condition. This guitar was just restored and set-up by Jeff Babicz, who was the former head of production at Steinberger Sound. Jeff dressed and mirror-polished the frets, rebuilt the TransTrem and serviced the electronics. Jeff rebuilt the original TransTrem with new bearings and spring and also burnished the roller saddles, so it now transposes correctly and returns to zero properly. This guitar is in fantastic shape, and certainly qualifies as being in near-mint condition. A beautiful and super rare guitar that's just been serviced by the world's top Steinberger tech and is now ready for the next 25 years of service. It plays and performs as well as (probably better than) the day that it first left the factory.This Steinberger GM4TA guitar will ship in a new black HeadlessUSA gig-bag with its TransTrem vibrato arm, a new black cotton strap, an extra set of strings, and a copy of Jeff's work-order.
