HeadlessUSA offers appraisal services for vintage Steinbergers. These instruments have a long and sometimes storied past, and this discovery process can take time–but we are the most qualified to do it.

 

NOTE

Because of the legal nature of these documents, HeadlessUSA does NOT offer remote appraisals. All guitars must be sent in for evaluation. Any person initiating an appraisal by HeadlessUSA must sign an affidavit swearing that they are the legal owner of the instrument being appraised. No exceptions.
