good idea.save your money and use a speedloader instead of a transtrem.it's what i would do.
and then you do not need a zero fret...the speedloader nut installs just like a regular locking nut
as a matter of fact you cannot use a zero fret with a speedloader nut

Actually, though I offhandedly mentioned the zero fret, in actual fact if you dig out the threads in which I've discussed it, Speedloader is at the top of my list. I wouldn't use a zero fret with it, but I bet you COULD, even though it's not designed to.

no you could not.the whole way the system works is through preset string lengths..moving the nut back farther to make room for it would kind of ruin that..though you COULD buy 25.5 strings and use a 24.75 scale..that way you would place the zero fret at the 24.75 spot and be allright...but that would be silly,since you would still need to place the nut at the 25.5 length.
don't play dumb.you accused someone of snobbery in the last few pages(maybe perry rather than lovekraft)but your other post was just a simple jab.my pointing it out was not a jab,and now you are again being antagonistic at yet another person only trying to have a polite discussion of the fine points of this topic.
you turned it around with this
which is undeniably an attack yet again at somebody in this thread.you are not talking to a moron.YOU made the mistake of trying to gain a personal upper hand against people i respect and agree with on the majority of this topic through my conversation,trying to use me as a tool and a pawn.and what i said in no way even goes against what they told you before.a zero fret in a steinberger is a cheaper way of solving the problem of proper nut placement in that particular case.
jab at you?no sir.get over yourself and try to join the world of the polite ,no motive,conversation
please,now you are just making things up.in no way did i say or even imply this.as a matter of fact i myself consider the two as being a tradeoff...but your "luthier friend" is wrong.a zero fret is not a replacement for a COMPENSATED nut.see..you said here
which totally contradicts you earlier assertion that you were NOT claiming a zero fret did the same thing as a compensated nut
i am done with you and this conversation.you dissapoint me as i thought you were better than this
