Mentioned in this February 1992 Guitar Player interview, as archived on this Open Computing Facility fan page.

While old Fender Mustangs are his main paramour ("I'm used to them - that was the first guitar I had"), Steve cultivates a modest collection of rarer birds, naturally coveting mod '60s models. "I like Harmony guitars a lot," he says, "the Harmony Rocket, the Harmony Stratotone. Real low-level guitars. Mark and I seem to have a lot of Hagstroms between us. Also, I'd love to have a Mosrite Ventures-type solidbody and a Gretsch DuoJet solidbody." When grilled about his "dream guitar," Turner unearths a real prize: "I really like the Gretsch Astro-Jet, is pretty cool looking - like an SG pulled and stretched." Steve's amp aesthetic is way groovy too. "I've got a pretty old Fender Super Reverb. It doesn't even have a master volume or anything. And I've got smaller things like an Ampeg Portaflex. You can flip the top up and carry it like a suitcase." Turner is particularly proud of his most recent amp dig-up, called the Excelsior. "I bought it at a store that mainly sells accordions. Some accordion player had it in his basement for 20 years. I have no idea where it was made, but the store that sold it to me sold it to this guy 20 years ago!"
