huh!
i really enjoy the TransTrem; it does indeed 'work', for me!; predictable, 
consistent pitchbending being the focus of my TransTrem useage.
for the last few years, the materials that the bridges were made from *do* 
tend to suck a bit of tone, yeah, but:
not *that* much.
the Klein TransTrem guitars are still my mainstays, after more than 10 
years.
best,

This is exactly what I want to know, interesting point about the Transtrem,
I kind of planned on getting one but if they don't work and cut tone ....
