Skully, I have a one page info/spec sheet when the GK4T model was released, here are the specs listed: construction: bolt on neck neck: Steinberger Blend reinforced composite fingerboard: phenolic number of fret: 24 scale length: 25 1/2 inches (64.7 cm) width at zero fret: 1 5/8 inches (4.1 cm) tuning hardware: headless Double-Ball micrometer system pickup: 2 EMG SA humbuckers (neck and center position 1 EMG 85 humbucker (bridge position) controls: volume, tone, 3-way pickup selector overall length: 31 1/2 inches (77 cm) weight: 7 1/2 lbs (3.5 kg) standard finishes: Gloss Black or Pear White options: TransTrem below that is a short blurb from a Guitar Player review from February 1990. The address listed below that is for the Steinberger Sound Corporation in Newburgh. I remember getting this when I was ordering my Steinberger at Manny's in NYC in the summer of 1990, I looked it over and kept it like I do with most things that I find a little interesting. I believe the price was a bit more that the L Steinbergers, but not by much. I think you've got a real find, but i'm not sure as to how many were made et cetera. Hope it has a happy home.
