Steinberger TransTrem Setup Process

Steps to show how simple it really is to setup calibration of a Steinberger TransTrem

[@mikeyID]

Super sweet setup. I didn’t even know they were out there. I’m always learning new info.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Then that made the video worth it!

[@mikeyID]

Yea Ryan, super cool set up. My first time seeing one.

[@billdivine9501]

EVH used one on Summer Nights and Get Up on the 5150 album.

Cool Man, doesn't seem any more fiddly than a Floyd. Thanks for the lesson Ryan.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Thanks for watching

[@rockdaddy2168]

Thought about getting one of these but I wouldn't really use it much. Good info on how it works. Thanks.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

If your gonna learn all of Van Halen songs... you must have one.. LOL

[@rockdaddy2168]

@@OhYouAteOne2 I don't play Van Halen out if respect, the way I play would just desecrate their music. LOL🤣🤣🤣

Thanks!!!Very Helpful….have posted a clip with my Steinberger on my channel…..after your set up procedure…

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Nice!

[@alfaiota9512]

Great tutorial, very useful thank you.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Glad it helped!

[@TestarossaRocks]

They need to make these again.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

I agree!

[@TestarossaRocks]

@@TestarossaRocks I'm certainly blessed to have 2 TransTrem equipped guitars in my arsenal! Love 'em!

[@merickbrother2122]

This is a year late, but they are indeed making these again.

Great vid. I just got one GL2T. What is the knurled knob exactly for under the tuners? I turned it a little because I thought it did something else. But not much tho.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

That’s to set the exact zero point. When you are tuned to E in the middle locked position, you should be able to unlock the pin and the guitar not go sharp or flat. If it does, turn the master tuning knob until it’s perfectly in E locked or unlocked

[@Maximus091768]

Cool. So if I turned it a little, what’s the best way to get it back to where it “should” be or is it not that big of a deal. This is all brand new to me. @@OhYouAteOne2

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Not that big a deal.. if its sharp turn in one way.. if its flat turn it the other.. @@Maximus091768

[@Maximus091768]

Ahhh ok. I thought that it would have screwed up my string height. @@OhYouAteOne2

[@robbiestingle7640]

Cool Ryan!!

[@davearooney]

If you need to tune your transtrem equipped guitar to Eb (1/2 step down), does all of this still apply?

[@OhYouAteOne2]

@@davearooney it should

[@blam3329]

I always wanted one but they’re too pricy. I picked up a Virtual Jeff Pro a couple years ago as an alternative and it’s fantastic.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Cool! I’ve heard those before but have never tried one.. 🤘🏻😎👍🏻

[@kmoecub]

I think that one reason why people think tuning a Trans-Trem is fiddly is that they are forgetting it allows for only needing to tune one guitar for a gig, instead of 6 in order to get the same range of tunings.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

😎👍🏻

[@SixFingeredAssault]

That's crazy bro. People who think a Floyd Rose is a nightmare to set up should watch this video. They'd have a mental breakdown, lol. What guitar is that? Never seen an axis style body with a trans trem before, only Ed's white Peavey.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

It’s a custom guitar from a builder named Ransom. I found the guitar in a local shop and snatched it up

[@puffballbk2186]

I can't find these things anywhere

[@OhYouAteOne2]

They are rare and hard to find

[@Maximus091768]

Can it tune a 1/2 step down?

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Nope - B, C, D, E, F#, G From lowest to highest. You could very likely tune the whole guitar down a half step and then calibrate from there and all those should transpose to half step lower in all positions

[@luisalextorres]

so you're telling me this trem is trans???

[@OhYouAteOne2]

According to Steinberger, yes.. :)

[@jakeelwood4077]

Each one of those notches in the tremarm saddle should be an open tuning. The way you are setting it up is wrong. Your setup is not producing the open tunings.

[@OhYouAteOne2]

Sorry but you are mistaken. The TransTrem design is to allow each string to move in proper pitch.
