First video in our Evertune series, a short introduction and explanations of the different zones of the Evertune. Evertune Playlist: • Evertune Video Series www.solar-guitars.com
I’m about to have one installed on my Schecter. When I first looked into it I was like that’s a lot of shit to remember lol. The more videos I watch on it, it makes more sense. Can’t wait to try it out!
I've realized I've watched so many of olas videos and learned so much. I've realized I've never dropped a thank you ola.. Thank you!!!! Your a big help in navigating my lack of knowledge in guitar electronics and accessories and such.
Got my Solar in Nov 20 played daily (almost). Evertune still in tune with only the slightest tweak on the low E once. It’s set to bend on all strings. Very happy.
Evertunes seem like a lot more trouble than necessary, cool concept just a lot of moving parts that make it really complex. Maybe that’s just me as a punk guitarist who plays stripped back guitars and having to change tunings a lot.
No ur right , for me its totally unnecesassary .... It seems , it making more problems , than without it . And now they r putting evertune bridges on very cool guitars . I dont like . I like normal bridges ....
Does the evertune prevent the strings from going out of tune in zone three? I mean, I know that the guitar will stay in tune no matter how hard you play, or how cold/hot it is. But is that still valid in the bending/vibrato position?
Once you're in Zone 2, how much do we have to keep turning? That isn't explained here. Is it as soon as you hit Zone 2 you just stop or do you turn a few times or do you turn right before Zone 3?
So I am looking at buying a new Solar Guitar but I am on a budget. Do you make a 7 string with the Evertune Bridge, not picky about body style, that would would be under 800$. Love the vids Ola.
It's a great innovation and an informative video, i was curious about this. Personally i wouldn't put one on my guitars. I don't mind adjusting my keys once a while. However this must be a great thing for those that tune down heavy. Questions for those that play with an evertune, does it affect sustain in any way?
Not that i have noticed. Also, once you actually tune the bridge, it stays there. You can change strings and if it is the same gauge, it will automagically be in tune once you are in zone 2. The exception is when there is a change in temp or humidity and the neck itself tightens or relaxes. Then, you have to re-tune.
@@jasonryan4994 thanks, so string gauge wise it's sort of like a floyd rose. How does it work when you change strings or your tuning? Is it a nightmare and do you have to go string by string to make it easier?
Sounds like your tension might be in “Zone 3”, as Ola describes in the video. Try loosening the tension in those strings using the headstock tuners and see if the saddles eventually move back (to “Zone 2”).
So you still have to tune the guitar. It's just that when it goes flat, instead of falling out of pitch it'll stop you from bending. But what if it goes sharp? then it would move into zone 3 and you'd be out of tune. Am I understanding this correctly?
Of course it's for lead playing, you just didn't have yours set up properly, its as easy to solo with an evertune as it is on any other bridge.... Ola did this series { this is the first video in the series}, to explain exactly how to set these bridges up so they play as any other bridge does. Go to 2.42 on this link from Ola and watch him play lead with an evertune, and again at 3.41, same as any other guitar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KFv6F0R8rUE.html The next video in this series explains how to set up for bending...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wrGYvJW35c8.html
Evertune would be so much better if it didn't suck all the tone out of the strings. My guitar sounds so dark and bassy it only sounds good through my Marshall Valvestate making my 5150, Dual Rectifier, JCM 2000 all unusable.
I have a customers Solar 1.6 on my bench right now and I feel like I have to go to school to learn how to tune these guitars. Honestly it seems very much like a gimmick or a solution to a non-existent problem to me. Simple is better.
