This list is by no means complete (probably 10% of all instruments, maybe less), but it may at least give you an idea of the year your Steinie has been built. Sometimes it may also show you what your Steinie once has been. We label it as 'v1.5', because it's based on the Steinberger World list, just continued and updated.
If you want to contribute to this list, just send us an e-mail. It's not necessary to tell us features that have been stock (e.g. the H-S-S configuration of a GM-4), but we're of course interested in things that are different or remarkable in any way, history, dates, etc. Photos are nice (especially if they are made for the gallery), but not required. If you are not sure about the exact type you own, just describe it as good as possible, in this case better with photos.
As this list is the result of searching the web, asking owners, and watching several online auction platforms, information may be wrong and/or incomplete. But it's the best we can do without further sources. We have decided to stick with the HTML table format. First, it is simple to create and update. Next, it's useless to expect any cool database features like 'show me all GMs', with only a fraction of all instruments being listed. And finally, the internet has become faster, it shouldn't be a problem to load or scroll through the page.

The name 'Steinberger' can be used to refer to either the instruments themselves or the company that originally produced them. Although the name has been applied to a variety of instruments, it is primarily associated with a minimalist 'headless' design of electric. Jeff looked up the serial number and confirmed that the guitar was mint without any issues and I would not be disappointed. I rang Don from Australia and talked to him about Steinberger and was impressed with the way he treated me. My god old fashioned service still exists! Once the funds had cleared Don provided UPS tracking for me to follow.
