Features and functionality

I have 2 of these. With transtrems. Incredible guitars if you can find one now that's reasonably priced!
The one pictured is not a true M series. The true M series have transtrems. The 2 I have: an '87 GM1T with an added front EMG SA and Roland GK3 internal. EMG 89 in the bridge. Also my main Steinberger: an '88 GM4T with EMG SA's and an EMG 89 in the bridge position.

David first presented his black Steinberger GM-3T Transtrem on Dec. 1987 as the guest artist on Saturday Night Live. The GM-3T was used again with Brian May for the Rock Aid Armenia recording of “Smoke On The Water” in Aug. 1989. It was later sold at the Christie’s Auction in 2019.

In a Sound on Sound article titled "David Sylvian: Recording Tin Drum & The First Day," David Sylvian discusses using a Steinberger M Series Electric Guitar.
"After the success of the "block" models Steinberger designed a more "standard" looking guitar, the M series. Buck's first M series is the GM1, which was designed by Mike Rutherford (Genesis) and his guitar tech. The GM1 came with one pickup, and he had it retrofitted with an additional single coil in the neck position.
Buck also has several later models, the GM4-T and the stunning tobacco sunburst GM7-T, both of which feature the TransTrem, a Steinberger invention that allows you to transpose the guitar as a whole,in tune, in steps and half-steps in both directions. All total, Buck has 7 different M series guitars.
These guitars are still in Buck's collection."
Jan używał tej gitary w latach 1989-91. Występuje w teledysku Zawsze tam, gdzie Ty. Kolor czerwony.
The solo was recorded at my own studio that I used to have when I lived in a village in Hertfordshire. I played it on my Steinberger with the trans trem through a Trace Elliot TVT9 160 watt valve top though one of those weird 3 speaker reflector cabs they used to make. It was miked with an SM58.

Nick: What kind of gear/equipment do you use in studio/live?
Tymon: Paul and I use Steinberger guitars going through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX for amp modeling and effects. Pretty much the simplest setup you can have in the world of guitar. In the studio we also use some old amps, a variety of stomp boxes and other random effects we can find.
