Big thank you! Just ordered a 7 string with an evertune. I heard about the string bending issue and your description of tuning between zones 2-3 cleared it up perfectly

Really helpfull dude. The only reason i could give you that evertunes are not standard at every guitar is because of people like me that change tuning like 5 times a day or more sometimes😂

Yo I just got a Solar with Evertune and this video was EXACTLY what the doctor recommended. Thanks!

I checked several explanations. This was the clearest of them all. Thanks.

How the fuck is this not the top vid on evertune use/tutorial ? So much more detailed than anything i've seen yet . I have a Ken Susi model w/ evertune & fishman moderns & I fucking LOVE IT !!! BUT .... I'm a habitual bender . So this vid was helpful WAY beyond the probably dozen or so i've watched already . Thanks , Man !!!

Best video I've seen so far on the Evertune bridge. Thanks for sharing.

I have an Evertune bridge, and your explanation and tips are the best I've seen.

Right ON! Thanks! I just ordered a Solar V1.6 Canabalismo with locking tuners and an Evertune. I can't wait for it to arrive so I can get my hands on the Evertune system!!🤘🤘

One of the best in-depth videos on the Evertune. Just got an Ibanez Apex 30 with one. Definitely excited having a guitar with one in it.

Great vid, very educational and entertaining. Just wanted to point out you maybe glossed over some of the finer points alot of people, including myself, struggled with when figuring out our evertunes. Regarding the tuning and intonation it's important to know that you must make sure you stay in zone two the entire time because tuning at the saddle and especially adjusting intonation you can very quickly move you out of zone two and it's going to be very frustrating and time consuming if your fine tuning, but are not aware that all that work is pointless if you've left zone two without realizing. Same goes for action and neck relief. It's really very delicate for the initial setup. But after all that hard work then you truly reap the benifits of the evertune, you could go so far as installing one on a guitar like an aristides that does not have a wooden neck and therefore the neck is not reacting to environmental conditions like temperature or humidity for unparalleled tuning stability. In Wisconsin my neck moves alot throughout the seasons and I try to get as close to zone 3 as possible for sensitive bending and I would find my guitar out of tune frequently and was constantly fiddling with the bridge in frustration when all I had to do was adjust the neck relief to return every string to proper pitch at one time. One last point is that there is a range of string Guages the individual modules will tolerate and when purchasing you need to make sure that your Guage or range of Guages will work with the module. Evertune has an easy to use calculator on their website to check compatibility because they offer different modules for differnt Guage ranges and you want to make sure you've got the correct modules before you get the guitar and put your favorite strings on and have no idea why the evertune is not functioning properly. It's a beautiful system but there can be an incredible amount of frustration for people who are not aware of some of these things I've mentioned when they think it's going to be magic out of the box. I've even paid extra for custom evertune setups from Sweetwater and I receive the guitar and need to redo the entire setup because even the pros sometimes don't fully understand the system especially when changing string Guages.

Just got the ESP Horizon NT-7 with Evertune. You explained everything so well. Thanks for that! And loved the show in Sneek (Netherlands) a couple weeks ago!

Waiting for my first evertune equipped guitar to arrive, and while I understood the concept, you just answered all my questions. Thank you

I'm buying an evertune guitar, thank you so much, best video of an ET bridge!!! 🤘🏽

I just bought an ESP LTD EC-1000 with an Evertune yesterday. This is the first time I have experienced the Evertune bridge and I'm blown away at how easy this thing is to setup. Your video was definitely helpful. I now agree with you 100% that all guitars should have locking tuners and an Evertune bridge.

Very helpful metal brother 🤘🏻 thanks. I’m definitely looking to get an EverTune equipped guitar.

Love my ESP with the Evertune bridge. It made learning to play a more pleasant and satisfying because it sounded great no matter how awkward it was. Stepped up to phase 3 doing solos and bends. Now I use the ESP Evertune to learn new stuff and then go play it on other guitars to improve my playing.

Much appreciated! As I seem to do with everything, I tend to make things harder than they need to be. Time to revisit my gorgeous bc rich mockingbird extreme exotic! Thank you!!!

The most useful video on Evertune bridge EVER!

Really Good! Love your Guitar!

Very helpful explanation, thanks

I just got my hands on an Evertune when I bought a Solar and it lives up to the hype. I would never want anything else from now on, Evertune is a game changer.

Thanks for this my new ESP shows up in four days with Evertune. I needed this video!

I have the same guitar exactly it’s a beast I found it and bought it used love it

Thanks. This was a really good explanation 🙂

Thanks for the advice mate,I'll try that.

I totally subscribed.thank you brotha..you really seem to know your stuff.I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE as guitar TO ME absolutely has to have stability.and I’m absolutely SICK of constantly tuning.thanks again!

Great video man! Thx... i am about to get a Ben Weinman sig and it has an evertune bridge ...stocked beyond words 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Oh my god! Thank you for this!

Great vid!

You, Sir, have yourself a new subscriber!

Can't wait for the floyd rose version Evertune says they are working on, it would be my dream come true. Anyway cool video, really helped me understand what's going on in there!

Talk about a leap in guitar tech! I know what I want for Christmas!

Thank you so much for this great video helping me to understand the new system!

Great video man! Next guitar, Evertune it is!! Prolly go solar😈

Спасибо тебе друг,очень полезное видео.

Thanks for the easy to understand video. Evertune is badass but not available in a piezo style Roland VG99/Boss GP10 setup atm. I do digital alt tunings in standard E to E with the ability to change my guitar into whatever tune I want by hitting a toggle on the guitar. Those pedals act like evertune in the sense that small sharps or flats a string might go out of tune are automatically compensated for to maintain proper tune. I use the RMC piezo system on a strat bridge and the GHOST piezo on a Floyd Rose for 100% tracking.

Got mine comin’ in tomorrow - can’t wait! Thanks for the vid, now I won’t feel like a bozo bumbling with Evertune!

Awesome I’m trying that

Super cool MadMan, thanks so much. Tell Mr. Meskil that it's been like FOREVER since the 'PAIN has been in Springfield, Mo... 🤘♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for your caring support mate,I'm going to buy an Ibanez AM200.

You rock man

Great vid

Thanks for the video man! About to embark on my first custom build of a guitar under the guidance of a Master Luthier here in Australia and I'm seriously thinking of installing this Bridge. Wonder if they will ever build a full floating trem version of this? Also...going to listen to your band after watching your vid. Appreciate the vid thanks!

I hope I can get one of these. Something nostalgic and realistic though about a live performance where they check and detune and such. Great video.

I'm not sure about the evertune being i've never had one yet. But, locking tuners! YES! They should be on every guitar.

It hasn't worked so I sold the guitar to a repairer who will take it out and put a maple block in it's place and put a new tuneomatic bridge in,thanks for your advice,I do appreciate it.

Yo! I used to play shows with Murder in Motion! I was in Chapters Unfold! I knew you looked familiar! Congrats on everything!!

I recently purchased an LTD SH-7 Brian Welch model and it plays and sounds awesome but since this is my first Evertune, there is definitely a learning curve. I can set up a Floyd Rose in about 15-20 minutes but an Evertune took me half a day. The big problem I had was the high E string. I finally got it but I broke about 6 damn strings before I finally got it right. Since that is the one that gave me the most trouble, I sure could use some advice. I’m not sure how I finally got it right but I’m going to be sweating bullets the next time I have to change strings.

Too less likes here, i think donkeys might be watching.... be a man enough to appreciate someone's hard work.... keep it up mate, ur video is really helpful...

Great video....I have been looking at the Evertune...tired of checking the tuning after every song...

Brilliant playing! :) Love your playing! You are mentioning that the string (or spring?) tension is what decides what tune the string will land on. So what about someone playing in Open E-tuning exclusively? Do I have to use thinner strings on some strings to get the Evertune guitar up to E/B/E/G#/B/E? Or do I adjust the tension on the spring for the string?

I must have one!

I love my evertune guitars but what is also worth mentioning is that you have to order a special spring for special tuning or particularly thick strings and the springs are not exactly cheap. I play a 6 string with drop A# tuning and I play GHS Boomer 11-70 set

I never thought I would hear a guitar stay in tune with so much bending involved but this Evertune bridge looks like a miracle ! My question for you is : would Jimmy Hendrix be a better player in your estimation IF he had an Evertune available back then ? You are the expert & I would never guess on my own as to whether Jimmy could have played any better than when I heard him , way back then ......

Hi Mad Man. I have watched about 16 Evertune videos, & yours is by far the most complete, insightful, and well explained video. Thank you!!! I have a question. I just got my first evertune guitar, so im a newbie to the mechanics of it! l got the LTD SH-7 Brian Welch guitar a few days ago. It comes factory tuned in B. (I don't know why since Korn plays in A) Can you tell me, or point me to a video that explains exactly how to simply drop the tuning from B to A? Thank you!!

Question. I had a Gibson borrowed in a show. It was like having my furniture in my back. Horrible and back breaking. Then I had a Viper ( SG) and was light on my back. Does the Evertune makes this model a heavy guitar, in weight? Most my life I used a (not around anymore) LTD VIPER 400 with EMG HZ ( i regret selling her), it was lightweight. Is this a heavy guitar?

Hi dude 👋. Awesome videos. Question for you…I’m planning purchase same guitar but I would like to try C standard tunning. Did you try it before? Any advise on it? …much appreciate. Kind regards from Chile!

Great Video! I'm playing with the idea to buy a guitar with an Evertune, but I have one question. How does the Bridge "feel" on your right Hand compaired to other Bridges? Was there a learning curve because of the Bridge Design?

Excellent vid....does the evertune require any maintenance ?

Great Video. Do you think the EverTune affects the tone of the guitar at all? I've heard a few comments saying that.

Are you using locking machine heads, (tuners), that just lock the string in place, or do you have stops that lock the action of the machine head? (I.e. no locking nut). And what does this system do to the sustain?

I just got my EC-1000ET , there's so many options. I didn't want to fuck this one up so I took my time and finally decided on see thru black, Duncans with the evertune ...... what a bitchin guitar man , I've got several others in this price range and they are all very nice but goddamn this thing is on another level ! 🎸🤟🍻

What did you use to clean the body with? Ive been trying to research how to clean matte/satin finishes, since my 2018 Solar E1.6ETC has a carbon matte black finish, but havent found much about it.

Really want to try the Evertune bridge. Waiting when LTD TE-1000 EVERTUNE in CHARCOAL METALLIC SATIN become available

Hey man, great informative vid! I was wondering if the evertune adds extra tension to the strings? Let's say you are using the 9-54 pack on an evertune 7 string vs a non-evertune 7 string with the same scale. Does putting the strings in the bending zone increase the tension you feel while playing vs the same gauges on a normal bridge? I hope my question makes sense. Thanks!

I’ve heard the Evertune compensates for a 25.5 scale on a 7 string with additional tension. Have you found this to be true? I play in mostly drop A and I’m a little apprehensive about some of the 25.5 scale lengths in that tuning.

23:59 so over time, after bending a lot, it slips back into zone 2? Or does it stay on the edge until you manually change it?

That many songs back to back that kind of time frame my wrist hurts for you 😂

10 years from now.... EVeRToooN and FLo-eeD-RoWz will be playing us.

🤘🤘🤘

I just got a guitar with an ever tune so I’m in the process of learning how to operate it. I’m having some trouble keeping it In tune in the bend zone. On one of the strings (G) I’ll have to tune the peg to zone 2 to get the evertune to engage. It is second hand so I don’t know what the previous owner did and if they did something to throw the device off if that’s even possible.

So you tour with Propane? I tour with Kerosene! Yep: need it for the heater in the Fu(Weird guitar bend here)ing camper! (

Ok but when I get to the end of zone 2 border zone 3 ..should the string be at the desired turning ? Because mine is usually way off …say I’m tuning D string and when I get to end of zone 2 …it’s a c and I need it to be a D …so I tend try and get the note to a D with hex key and it just does t seem to get in pitch …what am I doing wrong ?

Love your videos

Hei man great video! I own an evertune guitar but mine does not stays in tune completely..every time that I play it I need to adjust the tuning from the bridge, it just does not stay perfectly in tune..any idea of why would this happens? I also noticed that your saddles are way "back into the bridge" than mine, which are closer to the edge of the bridge (close to the bridge pu to be clear)..is there a particular reason for this? I play in drop A#, and I have checked the string gauge in the evertune website to be sure that the normal saddle would do the job and they should..but they actually does not :( thx in advance for your reply, cheers from Italy!

Great video but I’m stuck on something. I just wanna time my 8 string evertune down a half step. But zone 2 is set up for standard and I can’t figure out how to make zone 2 down a half step of that makes sense

I'm thinking of buying an Evertune-equipped guitar but I am unsure about it as the purpose of this guitar is to alter tunings, not overly regularly but enough to make it a consideration. I have two guitars with floating bridges that I don't have the will to even consider alternate tunings. What are your thoughts on this? Should I part with the extra cash for the ET bridge or just get one with a standard fixed? Can you re-tune a whole step on the tuners in the bridge? (a whole step E standard to D across all strings is likely the most I would detune). Great video though...

Thank you! But is it necessary do to intonation if changing to the same gauge and brand? One of the things that I don't understand is that when I set to between Zone 2 and 3 everything goes really out of tune. I don't understand why nobody else is having that problem.

First of all great video! I'm having some issues setting up my Evertune. I have a question. You know how with a regular bridge guitar when you pick a note and check your tuner the note sometimes fluctuates a bit after eventually settling on the "in tune" desired note? On an evertune bridge is it meant to be spot on all the time?without fluctuation? Or are they still expected If in zone 2? Basically when I check my tuner on all strings, for most strings as soon as I pick the note the tuner shows the note as in tune without any fluctuation. But for two strings the note fluctuates a bit and then lands on the in tune desired note. Does this mean those strings aren't in zone 2?
