Not for a US Steinberger. You're thinking of the foreign-made Spirit series.

^^

The Spirit had maple necks and were made in Korea (I think) - good guitars in their own right but not a US Steiny. An M series in that sort of condition has to be worth a grand I would have thought.

Reserve not met, Boiii wants some green for it.

so worth offering a grand? or not worth it?

 

[technomancer]

Ummmm YES it's worth it. From the picture it looks like it's got a TransTrem, TransTrem equipped Ms typically go for $1500+ depending on condition. That's assuming of course everything works. Also is it just me or does that only have a single pup, the bridge humbucker? I've never seen one like that before. It's also hard to tell from the crappy pics what kind of condition it's actually in.

Also $125 for shipping

yeah im not too fond of just the one pickup.. what are the pros cons?

 

[Pablo]

Well, to me, there isn't really a pro to having just one pickup... However, if you only use the bridge PU, there really is no reason for more pickups.

If you mean pros and cons of the entire guitar, I'd go for:

Pros: Price, original state and TransTrem
Cons: Single PU, uncertain general condition and hence, uncertainty regarding the function of the TransTRem.

The first M series model released.

GM1TA's have a built in eq instead of a standard tone knob. You can boost the bass or treble by rolling back or forth on the knob, and it has a center detent, basically a flat eq. So there are a lot more tones at hand than you'd think, from a single pickup'd guitar.


If you want a usa steinberger for a grand look into the GR series, M shaped bodies, graphite necks, but with the less expensive R Trem. Or take a look at the synapse line (can't remember if they're usa made or not, but they're incredible guitars for the money).
