General: This is the M model. This was first introduced in 1987.
Date manufactured: October 1988
Body: Hard maple, original red finish with white binding. The white binding has changed into a very nice vintage cream tone. By the way, bindings have been used on M-instruments by 1989.
Neck: This is an original Steinberger bolt on neck using five screws. The fifth screw is tapped, so a smaller screw that holds the strap pin can be fit into the larger screw that also holds the neck.
Bridge: TransTrem 2
Hardware: Steinberger
Pickups: EMG 85, 2 x EMG SA. I always considered myself a humbucker guy. But since I’ve got this, I instantly fell in love with the crisp and very dynamic single coil sounds of the EMGs. It also features HAZ Labs active EQ
