re: Real Steinbergers?



If you dig into the specs on the page, you'll see that all of those guitars
are wood body and neck.  It appears to be the "Squire" line of Steinberger.

A graphite neck is often considered an essential part of the Steinberger
equation, although these may still be quite usable guitars.
