I understand Andy, but Mr. Rys Olsen who sold me the klein told me that this one
is out of the barn and out of steve's hands. the under 200 serial number does
seem to verify that claim, if it is to be believed that about 200 came out of
steve's hands before he sold the electric side to lorenzo.
doesn't matter though, still a killer axe. After I am done perusing it this
weekend Ill try to post some pics of it on the site.

Lorenzo was Steve's right hand man, and responsible for assembly on many of the
GK Steinbergers. It was only when Steve wanted to go back to acoustics
full-time that Lorenzo purchased the name and rights from him and built every
single one after that. Lorenzo was involved in fabricating high end race cars
before he got into guitars, so he was very familiar with fit, finish and tight
tolerances.
