The necks were produced in the USA, some XP2 models were assembled in Japan, combining American-made components with Japanese craftsmanship.

The Steinberger XP-2 was introduced in the mid-1980s as part of Ned Steinberger’s quest to revolutionize electric instrument design. While the iconic all-graphite L-series was the flagship, the XP-2 was part of the P-Series, designed to be more affordable and accessible — but still packed with Steinberger’s cutting-edge engineering.
