I have a guitar with evertune bridge, and its really the best ive ever tried. Been playing guitar for 20 years now. And yes, you can bend the string exactly like on a normal guitar, and no, it's not complicated, and yes it keeps 100% perfect tune for months and months.
I sincerely didn't get the purpose of the product. Why would I want to block such an expression tool as "bending"?Wouldn't just a fixed bridge do the job for intonation? I'm honestly puzzled.
@@medonho I agree with you I really do not see the point other then that there main thing is it will stay in tune better when traveling to warm and cold climates and not be affected as much. But I will never have one on any of my guitars.
@@Rocktalk101 I agree with you. As for climate a simple adjustment on the truss rod would do the job. maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture somehow. Oh, well... Cheers!
@@medonho If you're tracking guitars there are tons of instances where you wouldn't want to bend. If a guitarist has a drop tuning and slams those bottom strings for the energy to ring through, you obviously don't won't the pitch to waver as a result.
@@secondslate7158 I see your point. Done that with a fixed bridge and everything went just fine. The thing is that it all depends, as you said, on the energy applied. Still it doesn't sell the product to me. Although I REALLY appreciate the engineering. Very clever.
I've had Evertune installed in two guitars: Gibson SG and Fender Ultra Tele. I recommend it. I tried to buy that Schecter Banshee Mach 6 with FR but had to return it due to G string fret buzz.
@@mikeg.9238 lifespan of evertune is approx "20-80 years" , so in other words who knows about the longevity of these things. It does leave permanent Marks on the guitar where it was installed.
The ability to put 1-2-3 in zone 3 with 4-5-6 zone 2 really gives a player an edge on stage. Anyone ever broke a string during a bend on a Floyd? Yeah then it's time for another guitar really quick to finish the song. All time ya dont have during a show.
So if youre in zone 3 the strings can go out of tune in the sharp direction correct? With this setup the saddle will only compensate for strings going flat correct?
No, being in zone 3(or zone 1) at all means your tuning changes in both directions. You must be in zone 2 for any compensation. For it to compensate only for going flat, it has to be at the very end of zone 2, right before it goes into zone 3.
Thats pretty cool. But i want to hear about the Gibson SG on the wall. I have an original 1962 Gibson Les Paul (SG), and love hearing about vintage guitars.
Yeah thats pretty dope looking into getting an evertune for a fernandez vortex i got on the cheap thats pretty much gutted needs a trem and pickups but then I thought its already mostly routed so an evertune would be sweet
Wow..... Considering how much knowledge you have about guitar and guitar set up even you are having trouble talking about this bridge. I am keeping up with you though brother. I love this channel. I am constantly converting Euro to USD with you guys. Lol... I am now in the market for an Evertune bridge. Great video.
If all the strings are set up to be outside the green zone and therefore bend as normal, will the evertune bridge still help to always keep the guitar in tune? Or does this only apply to strings which are in the green zone? Thanks!
I think it would go out of tune sharp but not flat. If you were bending a lot and you had the saddle all the way up the string might go flat, the saddle would move back to compensate and then subsequent bends would require more bend to reach the same pitch.
🤔 If if this technology could be incorporated into a tremolo system you might be on to something. But if you have a standard type bridge guitar how hard is it to tune, Especially with locking tuners. Maybe I'm just too old school to get it.😏
It eliminates the need for tuning the guitar at all really. And with moving the guitar. Say i take my guitar out of a cold basement upstairs into a warmer room, the guitar stays in tune no matter what temperature the room is
Zone 1 is where the strings aren't up to pitch yet, zone 2 is where it is at pitch, zone 3 is when you have exceeded the compensation range, meaning the bridge isn't actually doing anything anymore.
Great stuff!! I've an Evertune on my BC Rich Mockingbird, it really is as good as you say in the video! Now I want a Strat shape with an ET on it but the BC Rich Prophecy archtop doesn't seem to be available in UK. (?)That Schechter could be the one... a bit pricy but looks awesome!!
I like innovation and this is an interesting concept but it seems to me you still are going to be messing with your tuning keys. If your keys are bumped, it can take you away from the edge of zone 2 that allows for expression. Tell me if I'm wrong here...

Props for mentioning Devin Townsend. He's the one who got me into Evertune in the first place. Great video!

That's killer, man! I'm currently saving up for a Schecter with an Evertune. That's going to be my forever guitar, I'm sure of it. Rock on, Dagan!!
This guy is one of the best demonstrators of music equipment these days
cool idea but more complicated then I want to have on a guitar. I like to keep things simple.

I'll bet Page would've loved to have this back in the day for his DADGAD tuning!

But what if I want to do vibrato squeals so wide that they make Zak Wylde melt?

I just wish that ET bridges would stop becoming the standard bridge for so many guitars.

Damn i always thought evertune was a fixed bridge. Didn't know how complex it actually was on its design

Great video, like all the others, thanks bro ❤🤟
I was thinking about getting one of those for my guitar those Evertune sound good
Name one good guitarist that used an Evertune bridge to write an iconic song.
@@CHOPERUS23 I don’t know the only person I know that uses one is ague fish
@@CHOPERUS23 i dont think a bridge could inspire you to write a song. Plenty of guitarists use them
Thank you, I understand it better. I was in the twilight zone before this video.

Incredible video!

Only in the green zone, but they assure you that even the bend zone stays better in tune than other fixed bridges
I think it would go out of tune sharp but not flat. If you were bending a lot and you had the saddle all the way up the string might go flat, the saddle would move back to compensate and then subsequent bends would require more bend to reach the same pitch.
So the saddle housing moves independently of the of the bridge?

I don’t get what’s meant by “the zones “ 1 & 3 etc
Zone 1 is where the strings aren't up to pitch yet, zone 2 is where it is at pitch, zone 3 is when you have exceeded the compensation range, meaning the bridge isn't actually doing anything anymore.
Put one on a Les Paul, and it will somehow still go out of tune. (Gibson knows I Kid! 😅)

Did you buy a extreme i have one with the Floyd
@@JoshyyJay Yes total overkill on the mother of pearl binding and quite heavy but beautiful guitar especially the neck! :)
@@colboysigmax hell yeah! It’s amazing I only wish it was a 7 string!
What about whammy
I wonder how those would do on a Strat???

Seems counterproductive to vibrato which, IMHO, really adds a lot of "soul" to the overall sound.
This is what Ola uses on his Solar guitars....
Tuning with distortion, nice…
You don’t get no wang dang bar
sounds complicated
Its not. Set it up once and away you go, you don't have to tune your guitar again
Sounds like you just set it up like a normal bridge for the most part
How about NO!
So if you are a player that bends a lot this bridge is pointless 😂
Not if you watch and understand the video.
@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding oh I understand its trading skill for convenience. Seems lame to me
@@KhaosWarrior6662 I have a deep hatred for floyds . But to each their own .
The evertune bends perfectly normal like any other guitar.
I have one, and it's truly amazing.
