  • Thanks for being one of the few creators open-minded enough to embrace and share modern design with us so we know what's out there. The algorithm is always feeding us vintage gear garbage that hasn't changed in the past century. "Yeah I already know how that new vintage reissue will sound and play and feel... literally exactly the same as the previous 250 iterations..."
  • @FrazySting
    Looking forward to this unit becoming available on its own. What an engineering marvel.
  • @simonpark843
    It's good to see people still coming up with new ideas that improve upon the traditional Strat tremolo - this really did sound amazing. Thanks again for another informative and professionally presented video.
  • @omen3766
    I really hope these become available is some form, especially aftermarket.
  • @earthwormjim
    Wow, no need to find an unobtanium Steinberger with the TransTrem? I have been waiting for someone to re-implement that idea! And you don't need calibrated strings?! Just needs fixed positions to lock the tuning up or down however many semi-tones you want.
  • @Shred_The_Weapon
    For a moment, I thought this was a demonstration of a new rendition of the trans trem that was pioneered 40 years ago by Ned Steinberger. That’s why it was neat that you had an actual Steinberger model on hand, Andre.
  • @kmatax9237
    Glad you checked out Ricks stuff! Its amazing! Thanks for going over this bridge so quickly after it just came out!🤘
  • @buckbreaker5185
    Also being able to palm mute carelessly on a guitar with a floating bridge is a dream
  • @Xyrium
    Thanks for bringing this to us. I love how it kept the chord in tune as you pulled it upwards. Very nice indeed.
  • @Julez_Shredz
    Love watching videos about new innovative hardware like this for guitars. Thanks for posting & reviewing!
  • @lunamatic9775
    The sound of that trem pretty much speaks for itself
  • @michaelm4153
    I like your way of reviewing this things, didn’t know the pitch shifting transitions could sound so smooth
  • @MinnenMusic
    I am so excited about this! Can’t wait for mass production
  • @calvinbass1839
    Thank you for the video. I look forward to hearing more about this system. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
  • @rodennis418
    That delivers some beautiful sounds and I look forward to hearing what else it inspires!
  • @catch33000
    This is cool: the fanned fret modern guitar has been done, the golden era vintage reissues have been done. The weird abstract guitar has been done: it’s cool to see stuff like this whammy that offers novel ideas !
  • @garrickhanson
    This looks REALLY interesting! I wonder if they could add a feature that would allow you to enable/disable specific strings? That would let you do some pretty sweet steel-guitar-type bends. Also, shout out for the Pantera riff!
  • This sounds aweseome! Can't wait to get one for my guitar! I hope that it will be availible soon.
