@@BlazonStone 100%. Realistically, I don't have any issues recording with straight frets/no evertune. Really only cheaper/production guitars should need an evertune to make up for bad intonation/cheap nut. A really solid, high end guitar shouldn't have bad intonation issues to begin with, and therefore shouldn't absolutely even need an evertune.
@@BlazonStone Gotcha. Honestly I don't mind tuning all that much considering I can near one take most things & my guitars are set up very well & have locking tuners etc. and hold a tune extremely well. Mostly use hipshot hardtails & locking tuners. Very rarely ever floating trems. I haven't played an evertune guitar yet that came close to sounding quite as good as my main PRS for recording either, and I'd rather take the slight bit more time tuning once in a while to get a sound that I prefer.
@@BlazonStone Yeah, there's something for everyone. If I could find a guitar with an evertune that beats out the sound of my favs I'd use it in a heartbeat.
You would be in a room with 5 guys when things start to "heat up" wouldn't you, Glenn? Did I do it? Did I earn a spot in a viewers comments video? Hi from Georgia, USA!
LeopardSniper12 I live in North Georgia, so I'm not too sure. I know the highways are crowded, since I work in Atlanta. lol. Otherwise, I think people are taking heed of the fact that south Georgia will be hit fairly hard and are evacuating.
Chris...you didn’t play lightning fast or use mind exploding technique but you might just be the person that writes the nicest solos on guitar throughout human history
I wonder if we could get a full instrumental album or EP of Glenn's "shootout" compositions. Some of these are just so good and well-written, I could listen to them for days lol.
I purchased my first LTD ESP EC1000-ET 6 string evertune a couple years ago and loved it. Now I have a Signature series seven string with Fishmens and it blows the 6 out of the water. Great thing about the evertune. I can drop tune the six to C without upping string gauge.
Ever since I saw this I knew i needed this. Recently got a Chapman Ghostfret 7 Pro. Immediately sent it to evertune. Just got it back today and I don't know if i can ever play anything else again. I had high expectations and it still blew them out of the water.
Pfft. Us bass players have been using "evertune"-esque gear since the dawn of time. Hell, why do you think we say "Duh... it was in tune last week?" all the time? Because bass strings are heavier and won't go out of... Ah, I can't even write it with a straight face! The Evertune Bass Bridge is (according to the FAQ on the Evertune homepage) in the "final stages" of the prototype testing (Although it seems to have been there since 2013, pretty much...) Being neurotic about my tuning - both when recording and when performing live - this is something that I hope leaves the prototype stage and "gets real" soon enough. Although they will probably sell about two units (One for me and one for the guy who was to baked to tell that it wasn't and entire bass that he was buying), it would be a most welcome inovation! Plus: Wouldn't it be awesome to say, with a straight face: It was in tune last time I picked it up! And then it WOULD be.
After my classes I stopped to grab food and watched this in my vehicle (custom stereo with subwoofer) and can honestly say I enjoy your drum mixes now. I never liked the clicking of the kick because it was all I could hear but hearing the intro alone convinced me. The low end makes all the difference. I can now see 100% why he says to check your mix in multiple environments.
Hell yeah, I have two guitars with evertune. They are awesome. I need two more so I can have them as E, Eb, Drop D and Drop Db. Saves soooo much time tracking rhythm guitars.
@Jordan Payne Late answer but if still wondering: You can quickly go to drop tuning BUT you will lose the "evertune-effect" on that dropped string. If you want to drop tune with "evertune-effect" on all strings you need to adjust the screws too.
@Jordan you shouldn't go from standard tuning to Drop C# without re-setting up the whole guitar and replacing the strings with a thicker gauge anyway. Even dropping the low E to D, it's not a big deal but it's still not ideal, especially for recording.
I play bass, I have to admit I never realized there were screws underneath the saddle. Time to see what I can do with them. Thanks for the tip Glenn! Cheers from the Netherlands ;)
I’ve sold almost my entire collection of guitars over the last few weeks and replaced them with Evertune equipped guitars. There’s no going back dudes!
When the automobile was introduced, that's probably what the buggy whip salesman said to the guy with the Model T. How'd that end? I think the Evertune bridge is a game changer for any player. It really works. But I'd think that for the gigging player, it'd be indispensable. The odds now of a band showing up with an Evertune-equipped guitar may be low, but I'd bet heavily that those odds will go up dramatically in the near future. When cars went from hand-crank to electric start, do you think people complained? I'm sure there were a few, but here we are. You can get a hand crank start car today if you want...in a museum.
Graph Tech tusq/graphite nut, a roller bridge and locking tuners would probably work just fine as well, as well as being a hell of a lot cheaper, but in a studio situation, absolutely! It’s awesome!
Just picked up my first ESP yesterday and it has this ET bridge. So far I really love it. One thing I will say though, is even right at the perfect threshold for bending, it still doesn't quite react to bends the way a typical bridge would. You can definitely tell the difference, and it just requires a little bit more of a bend to get the pitch you're looking for. Not a deal breaker at all, just worth knowing before you buy it.
I wish I saw this video 6 months ago. I spent days reseating the bridge on my guitar just so I could have the intonation in tune at much as possible up the neck of the guitar. Three of the saddles were all the way back and crushing the adjustment screws. I had to remove the bridge, protect the finish, fill the holes with dowel, and very carefully drill 6 new holes in a perfectly straight line at a very particular angle and if any holes were out-of-line, I would be doing it all again. Then to restring it, I had to use a strobe tuner to check the intonation and make adjustments. It looks like with Evertune, I would not have had that problem in the first place.
Fuck me gently, I was looking to refresh my memory on this for altering one of my guitars, but got distracted by the fact that 4 years later, you appear to be only a quarter of the man you are here. Christ on a bike. Seriously, not blowing smoke up your arse, you've done amazingly well.
After getting an Evertune installed in my studio guitar I think you have to be insane not to have at least one. It saves soooo much time and makes tracking fun again instead of being a complete nightmare with tuning and intonation.
Great review, the harmony guitar was interesting to hear as it was almost 'too' perfect. I wonder if you will end up using slightly different processing to make it sound more human. It almost sounded like a harmony pedal!
After discovering Jackson thought it was a good idea to use plastic screws with my tune-o-matic, making intonation a DREAM to deal with, I was in the market for a new bridge. I'll have to check this one out.
I am super excited that EverTune has a bass bridge in the works, they say it is in final prototyping. I would love to have one at some point, they seem awesome.
I've been sticking rubber coated bottle caps under my Floyd for years to keep the stability. I tried this system out, while I do like it for rhythms, bending is too out of whack. You have to bend beyond the threshold to really get it to respond, and if you're looking for an 1/8th shift you're shit out of luck. Watch the video, and watch how long it takes the note to respond to the string bending. For recording practices, sure, but it's definitely not an everyday system that I can enjoy.
I actually had an Academic Project about guitar innovation most people don't know about, like a roller-bridge, Earvana Nut, True Temperment frets and Evertune to name some
I love my Ola 7 string with evertune. Got a 6505mh going into the 4x12 6505 cab with celestion 30s of coarse. Add the maxon od808 and decimator noise gate...... Hard to stop playing.
Great system for people that record and play often but if you're a weekend guitar player being able to just grab your guitar of its stand after not touching it for a while and it just being in tune is amazing.
That guitar solo was so awesome! Anyone know what scales he was using? It sounded like he was harmonizing in either 4ths or 3rds, but the whole thing was really sweet, so if you know what scale, I'd be more than grateful.
I was a little sceptical about these evertune things bechause Richard Kruspe ( from Rammstein ) said that he couldnt get a cool sound out of these bridges, but now i think they are ok
Great invention, I'm sure it would be good for tracking. For myself though, a massive rout means removing too much body timber and I couldn't be bothered setting up for either great intonation or string bending but not both at the same time. I'll wait for the Line6 version..
For the modern metal guitarist it's the joint greatest invention since 7 strings and baritones, the other is the multiscale, the lower you go, the less stable your tuning is going to become so the evertune is a very obvious answer for non-Floyd guys. I imagine engineers like yourself have wet dreams about guitars with true temperament frets and evertune bridges.
I used a tele with an evertune on the road and never had to tune it. We went through the mountains and the desert and it didn’t move. I did notice that it seemed to fight me when I did big Albert king bends. Not that it was a bad thing. It just felt different. Cool gadget but it looks weird in classic style guitars though.
I have been recording an acoustic album past few days and good grief I feel like I was tuning more than playing lol. Getting one of these installed on my Schecter. Gonna be nice not having to worry about tuning all the time. 🤘 Would be awesome if Evertune could conjure up something for acoustic lol
My OG Floyd Rose has been beyooooooond awesome for rhythm and lead tracking. Never got to try an evertune yet, not sure if I'm willing to give up my tremolo
I love the Fact that most Gear channels on TH-cam never mention Price ! Phillip McNight being the exception . A lot of us Musican's are cash poor so please let us know the prices for things in the future . I love this but doubt I can afford it ...

apparently Ben weinman uses this. given DEP's music I don't doubt Glenn's review at all. thanks for the review, Glenn. you make me wish I were more involved in doing music. between work and making art there's no time... and I also suck at music.
It's a nice bridge. I wanted one for one of my Jacksons. Problem is it's a neck thru and I was worried about routing as I have a tone pros bridge so that makes me very skittish on the idea. I wish Evertune made a Tone pros style but I'l assume it's impossible . I solved my tuning issues with the planet waves auto trim locking tuners. Really good tuners and makes restrings very quick. Nice video though, love the channel.
I LOVE the concept, but I probably wouldn't have one, at least on my primary guitar, because i change tuning quite a lot, and the thought of having to reset the spring tension every time I change tuning makes me cringe...
I've never tried an Evertune, but it probably wouldn't make much of a difference to my use of different tunings as I use different (specifically selected) string gauges for each tuning and give a guitar a complete setup (truss rod, intonation, etc.) every time I change tuning (or even just change strings).
For all that shit Gibson is getting lately - G-force robot tuners on my 2015 LP actually do their job correcting or changing tuning in like 5-10 seconds. That might be the best solution for someone who constantly changes tunings and/or travels a lot to places with varying temp and humidity.
cant believe how LTD go down in a value... best buy ever - got BS7 and KS7. where did you get the original 2014 release w EMGs pups? must have be a shop selling lots of Schecters
My buddy has an eclipse with one of these. First thing I hated was I had to leave it in drop. Then after trying to bend the strings I gave it back. Now I see you have to remove more wood than a floyd install. You'd have to be paid to endorse this thing.
Interesting, but I can't imagine playing without any vibrato or slight bends during normal play. But I suppose for strait up rhythm tracking it useful. Hopefully they develop a version that lets you go into pitch bending mode with a single quick switch.
Amazing I just got a Floyd rose original like three months ago and It is awesome it stays in tune no matter what but it is a pain in the ass to make any little adjustment and this may be the solution I hope to get one when they arrive here in Mexico.
It stays in tune a lot better than stock pegs, but it's still very susceptible to temp/humidity changes. That and changing strings are somewhat obnoxious on an FR.
Kcducttaper1 you get used to it after a while. I can do a full string change and refloat in about 10min now. and for the benefits of the Floyd, the hassle is definitely worth it.
Hello Omar, I'll be moving to CDMX next month (I'm From Rio, BR). What are the best stores to buy gear there? I'll take very few guitars with me and I'll need to buy a few during the next years, also how easy is to order guitars/amps from the US (taxes, how long does it take)? finally, how is the metal scene there? thank you a lot for any help you can give me.
It's not too bad once you figure it out. I just don't use the tremolo nearly as much as I thought I would when I purchased it. Looking back, I should've spent the equivalent money on a 7-stringer. Some people do great with an FR, but it's just not my thing.
They are coming out with a bass evertune Bridge that is still in the final stages of prototyping but it should be done pretty soon and I don't really care how big the routing has to be for it, this would be a lifesaver especially because I love to dig in really hard on my bass strings and I hate how it Sharp's every time I hit the string and it's tables out during sustained
Very interesting!! Sounds fantastic on those leads. Personally, I don't like how this sounds on the rhythm tracks tho. Lets be clear though, it stayed in tune beautifully and the performance was tighter than a hawks ass during a power-dive, but to me it still felt like one big guitar track up the center, even though I'm almost certain they were panned hard Left n Right. I've struggled to figure out what makes a quality set of ensamble guitar tracks too, but I feel like the beauty of a good double/quad is in those subtle differences and dissimilarities that make it feel bigger and wider instead of blending together. 2 performances with 2 different guitars for 2 separate rhythm guitar parts going into 2 separate amps each with 2 mics on each cab = My Jam!!
Okay, after hearing you talk about the Evertune, I had to look it up and check it out. I can really appreciate the engineering that went into that, and how well it works, but having no tremolo is a complete deal breaker for me.
I dont know if you are being sarcastic, in which case, awesome, but if not, a bass's low e is 41 hz, the next F is only at 43 hz! Low e on guitar, is at 82hz and f is at 87hz. That's twice the frequency wiggle room already. And to think that a bass is around 34" scale length and a guitar 25.5" scale length, the problem is compounded even more. Thankfully if the bass player isn't playing chords, tools can fix this, but damn, back in the tape days, I probably wasted a ton of blood donations worth on razorblades trying to find usable chunks of bass parts to splice together on the best of bass players. Today we kind of find it silly to hear chorus effects on bass guitar parts, but back then it was kind of a necessity to smear the evil
No, not being sarcastic. Basses have way more stable tuning, probably due to the scale, at least in my experience. And yes, of course no chords (most of the time). What I'm trying to say it that I don't find tuning bass before every other take necessary, unlike an electric guitar. I didn't know comping was a thing back in the tape days. That's... rather sad. No wonder engineers hate bass players :)
Hey Glen, this may seem like a super trivial question, but when tuning guitars for recording, do you tune to the initial note (the pick attack) or do you tune to the sustained note?
True temperament frets with an evertune bridge is probably the best studio beast out there.

So... is jerry secretly a bass player?

did you try bending your knee?
Odds of a band showing up to the studio with an Evertune-equipped guitar.... not likely.
Bob SoloMan They normaly show up with old strings on a Guitar that hasn't been setup in two years
Hence why Glenn has it. For our lazy asses
Matt Heafy of Trivium and most likely the guys in Wintersun are recording with an evertune
We showed up with two of them and by the end of the session our engineer was shopping for one of his own!

I went just to check if he had mentioned it at least somewhere.
Awesome track!
Nice ad, I'll probably buy it
apparently Ben weinman uses this. given DEP's music I don't doubt Glenn's review at all. thanks for the review, Glenn. you make me wish I were more involved in doing music. between work and making art there's no time... and I also suck at music.
It's a nice bridge. I wanted one for one of my Jacksons. Problem is it's a neck thru and I was worried about routing as I have a tone pros bridge so that makes me very skittish on the idea. I wish Evertune made a Tone pros style but I'l assume it's impossible . I solved my tuning issues with the planet waves auto trim locking tuners. Really good tuners and makes restrings very quick. Nice video though, love the channel.
hi glenn what line 6 amp profile and cab combo did you use ;-) a bass player dream
i need that tone... NOW!!!!!!
Devin Townsend puts these on guitars like our favorite Swede scallops fret boards.
No wammy, no way lol
That dang Ken Susi tho, what a fella
that track sounded fucking amazing
I LOVE the concept, but I probably wouldn't have one, at least on my primary guitar, because i change tuning quite a lot, and the thought of having to reset the spring tension every time I change tuning makes me cringe...
Chas Sheppard agreed but if you have multiple guitars for different tunings or just simply use 1 tuning it could be extremely helpful
Zaynarai agreed
Chas Sheppard get the digitech drop tune. Very good pedal for live use, not for recording though because you will loose some high end and a gain.
I've never tried an Evertune, but it probably wouldn't make much of a difference to my use of different tunings as I use different (specifically selected) string gauges for each tuning and give a guitar a complete setup (truss rod, intonation, etc.) every time I change tuning (or even just change strings).
For all that shit Gibson is getting lately - G-force robot tuners on my 2015 LP actually do their job correcting or changing tuning in like 5-10 seconds. That might be the best solution for someone who constantly changes tunings and/or travels a lot to places with varying temp and humidity.
Love my evertune!
thas Ken Susi original signature with original EMGs - just got it 2nd hand and cant stop smiling - best guitar ever
+Marc see yeah, it's pretty excellent!
cant believe how LTD go down in a value... best buy ever - got BS7 and KS7. where did you get the original 2014 release w EMGs pups? must have be a shop selling lots of Schecters
need to test one of these. Really have my doubts on the "feel" when bending. If you don`t bend, buy a banjo.
I want this shirt!!!
My buddy has an eclipse with one of these. First thing I hated was I had to leave it in drop. Then after trying to bend the strings I gave it back. Now I see you have to remove more wood than a floyd install. You'd have to be paid to endorse this thing.
This is pretty neat.
Interesting, but I can't imagine playing without any vibrato or slight bends during normal play. But I suppose for strait up rhythm tracking it useful. Hopefully they develop a version that lets you go into pitch bending mode with a single quick switch.
Seriously, did you watch the video?
Amazing I just got a Floyd rose original like three months ago and It is awesome it stays in tune no matter what but it is a pain in the ass to make any little adjustment and this may be the solution I hope to get one when they arrive here in Mexico.
It stays in tune a lot better than stock pegs, but it's still very susceptible to temp/humidity changes. That and changing strings are somewhat obnoxious on an FR.
Omar Alfonso Mora Carrera Just dont do it man. The hassle will be even worse. Btw, if someone wants a floyd guitar mine is for sale :D
Kcducttaper1 you get used to it after a while. I can do a full string change and refloat in about 10min now. and for the benefits of the Floyd, the hassle is definitely worth it.
Hello Omar, I'll be moving to CDMX next month (I'm From Rio, BR). What are the best stores to buy gear there? I'll take very few guitars with me and I'll need to buy a few during the next years, also how easy is to order guitars/amps from the US (taxes, how long does it take)? finally, how is the metal scene there? thank you a lot for any help you can give me.
It's not too bad once you figure it out. I just don't use the tremolo nearly as much as I thought I would when I purchased it. Looking back, I should've spent the equivalent money on a 7-stringer. Some people do great with an FR, but it's just not my thing.
They are coming out with a bass evertune Bridge that is still in the final stages of prototyping but it should be done pretty soon and I don't really care how big the routing has to be for it, this would be a lifesaver especially because I love to dig in really hard on my bass strings and I hate how it Sharp's every time I hit the string and it's tables out during sustained
Nice product. Though I'm a little disappointed, that you didn't state clearly in the beginning of the video that this video is sponsored by evertune.
Stefan Hrvatski what's the problem?
Watermark
hows this on a 7 string standard tune but you drop tune the E to D?
Sounds cool and helpful. Just wished the "sponsored by Evertune" had been at the top of the description, not the bottom ;)
Where did you get that AWESOME shirt!?
Very interesting!! Sounds fantastic on those leads. Personally, I don't like how this sounds on the rhythm tracks tho. Lets be clear though, it stayed in tune beautifully and the performance was tighter than a hawks ass during a power-dive, but to me it still felt like one big guitar track up the center, even though I'm almost certain they were panned hard Left n Right. I've struggled to figure out what makes a quality set of ensamble guitar tracks too, but I feel like the beauty of a good double/quad is in those subtle differences and dissimilarities that make it feel bigger and wider instead of blending together. 2 performances with 2 different guitars for 2 separate rhythm guitar parts going into 2 separate amps each with 2 mics on each cab = My Jam!!
Is that LTD in the video a custom made one?
I can only see MH1000EV-STBLK and EC 1000EV now, both are black. The one in the video is awsome!
Okay, after hearing you talk about the Evertune, I had to look it up and check it out. I can really appreciate the engineering that went into that, and how well it works, but having no tremolo is a complete deal breaker for me.
Evertune for bass players, coming soon'ish. They're working on it.
No bass model yet? That would be where I'd need it most
But... not like bass guitars have tuning issues as bad as guitars do.
I dont know if you are being sarcastic, in which case, awesome, but if not, a bass's low e is 41 hz, the next F is only at 43 hz! Low e on guitar, is at 82hz and f is at 87hz. That's twice the frequency wiggle room already. And to think that a bass is around 34" scale length and a guitar 25.5" scale length, the problem is compounded even more. Thankfully if the bass player isn't playing chords, tools can fix this, but damn, back in the tape days, I probably wasted a ton of blood donations worth on razorblades trying to find usable chunks of bass parts to splice together on the best of bass players. Today we kind of find it silly to hear chorus effects on bass guitar parts, but back then it was kind of a necessity to smear the evil
No, not being sarcastic. Basses have way more stable tuning, probably due to the scale, at least in my experience. And yes, of course no chords (most of the time). What I'm trying to say it that I don't find tuning bass before every other take necessary, unlike an electric guitar.
I didn't know comping was a thing back in the tape days. That's... rather sad. No wonder engineers hate bass players :)
The scale length would have to be 50" in order to be as stable as a guitar on that front
Glenn i have to know
do they make a whammy bar version of this
also i MIGHT forget to change strings i i ever do get this
theyre working on it
Hey Glen, this may seem like a super trivial question, but when tuning guitars for recording, do you tune to the initial note (the pick attack) or do you tune to the sustained note?
Depend on the song
You should consider installing true temperament frets in addition to the evertune. Have you ever heard of them?
God dammit Glenn, I was taking a bong rip right as you said that lol
