Funny how they seem to market the trans-trem 3 as a revolutionary new system while Steinberger gtrs have had trans-trems for ages.

Not sure if I like the new shape, the old one was perfect already!

Well, the TT3 = half step transposing. Plus, it doesn't need the cut out for the tuners. If they sold those separately, they would have a lot of business.

steinbergers are the uglyist guitars ever, but they play so unbelievably good, god i want one

That looks really nice, and the new TransTrem looks more user-friendly than the old version was. I had a GL-4T with the TransTrem many years ago, and it was very fussy to use. Does that control on the back of the new guitar control the pitch? If not, I don't see how the transposition function works on the new trem.

Also, I wonder if you have to use the specially calibrated strings to get the transpose function to work properly, the way you did on the old one?

looks like you can use any strings, and I think the wheel in the back is to adjust the tension of the trem, kind os like on parker fly's or on new iby s series' with the ZR

Hmm, then I don't see how you control the transpose function on the new trem. Without that notched attachment like on the old one, how do you get the trem to stop at any position other than zero?

You could use regular double-ball strings on the old TransTrem, too, but they weren't as accurate in transposition. If they fix that on the new one, that's a major plus, since the calibrated strings were even more expensive than the regular double-balled ones.

Pretty cool.

Wish it had a graphite neck though.
