Steinberger is a modern brand that revolutionized the industry with its groundbreaking designs.
It differentiated itself from existing designs in many ways, such as the use of graphite/carbon materials and double ball-end strings.
This model is the GK-4T Klein.
It was created through a collaboration between Ned Steinberger, founder of Steinberger, and guitar maker Steve Klein.
Although we couldn't determine the body material due to a lack of precise information, the neck is graphite and the fingerboard is ebony.
Its original, ergonomically based design gives it a unique look, while its easy handling is also appealing.
It is equipped with EMG-89 pickups.
The humbucker mode has a character similar to EMG-85, while the coil tap mode has a character similar to EMG-SA, covering a wide range from clear and powerful sounds to edgy tones.
Of course, it is noise-free and highly reliable on stage.
The bridge features the TransTrem system.
Its structure maintains pitch balance across all strings even during aggressive tremolo arm use, ensuring chords stay intact and tuning stability remains exceptional.
Combining innovative design philosophy with high build quality, this is a quintessential Steinberger instrument.
It stands out not only as a collector's item but also as a formidable workhorse for live performance.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
