This product is excellent sounds the same as any normal guitar and is worth every penny. I damaged my Evertune while tuning (my fault stripped a bolt and didnt read their warning)and they sent me the replacement parts in 2 days. The intonation and tuning sound excellent and when you play festival gigs like we do going from hot to cold is no problem. No more stretching in strings either. All we need now is a bass version...
beyond tuning in open, since it works by keeping constant tension it also keeps intonation to the highest frets, allowing high chord shapes to sound in tune (a problem even the best intonated guitars have) since it readjusts the tension when you push down to fret a note. to me that is what makes it more than just a convenience
Quick question: initially it sounds like the bends die out, is that due to the tension being taken up by the evertune? (ie. it'll only allow minor bends?)
I'm a satisfied customer Whats cool is that you can set some of the string to un-bendable and other to bendable independently .It smooths out tuning problems of High fret necks, you know when u squeeze too hard. and the fun thing is you can set a range of just when a string bends so say u squeeze too hard the bridge won't sharpen the note but bend it more than the squeeze and it will bend. once u get this bridge u can't live without it anymore
@MattHewCzech1 You can tune the guitar anyway you want. You just half to reset the the tuning by using the allen head wrench adjustment located in the saddle.

Roller bridges and nuts, together with locking tuners will solve 99% of tuning issues anyway. I installed a Wilkinson/Gotoh trem, locking tuners with staggered posts on my strat (to eliminate string trees) and I never need to retune my guitar even after massive whammying and bending. And I don't even have rollers at the nut - just properly cut slots for my gauge string and a bit of pencil graphite in nut slots before a string change. (A Graphtech XT nut will do the same.) The only times I need to tune are if the ambient temperature has changed significantly since the guitar was last played (causes minor expansion/contraction of steel strings). The Evertune may actually be susceptible to this also, since springs are even more sensitive to temperature change than taut strings, at least theoretically.
it's one of those inventions, great invention but it solves a problem that doesn't really need an invention to solve. If i was going to have a tuning bridge, it would have to be the wilkinson atd ht440, now that is an invention that solves a genuine problem, changing tunings super fast.
I'm not understanding how it handles bends. All that bending in the demo sounded weird, like you had to bend the strings extra far to counteract the spring "correction" of the saddles. Also, when you are detuning the machine heads you are unwinding the wraps and eventually will reach the limit of zero windings. Won't this cause a problem at the machine end? Finally, since I can see that the saddles are moving horizontally as you are setting the pitch, clearly this will have an adverse effect on intonation. So you will always have to reset your intonation (distance between nut and saddle) each time you reset the "evertuned" pitch of each string? Just trying to grasp how this thing actually works. Having to set the intonation each time after making any tuning adjustment would most likely be a deal breaker for me.
Here's the deal: The levers that constitute the saddles are attached at the back to springs that are a few inches long that hold the string at a constant tension (thus pitch). When you first put a new string on the machine head you have to tighten it enough that it goes past the low-end range of the compensating spring. Once it's that tight it will already be close to, if not exactly, in tune. Then you continue to tighten the string with the machine head. As your doing this if you pluck the string it will continue to play the exact same pitch note, UNTIL you get to the upper range of the compensating spring, when the string will at last go sharp, okay? Now, you turn the machine head back to where your in tune, and JUST below the upper limit of the spring compensation. When it's like this (which is how I routinely set mine up) you can bend notes like Larry Carlton all day long. BTW, another thing you can do, if say you're playing rhythm guitar with a lot of blocky chords up the fret board, you can put the strings in the middle of the spring travel and no matter how much you smear your fingers around on the fret board your chords will all play dead in tune. The one more thing is, not to worry, Evertune has three adjustment screws: Tuning, action, and intonation. There's no intonation problems.
@vicchavill Set the bridge up to be in drop d, then tune the d up to e. That way it will still tune down to D when you turn the tuning peg. And the bridge isn't bullshit, it keeps your guitar perfectly in tune. Thats good.
Looks like it could possibly have an effect on the sustain of the guitar. I mean, it looks "softer" than a normal bridge, and could potentially absorb some vibrations. I wouldn't know, of course. Just a thought.
Thanks for the awesome demonstration! Been thinking a lot of getting a guitar with an evertune system but didn't understand enough about them. Your tutorial totally helped. 🤘👌
That's exactly what Rob Chappers said, and now he's been playing one for 6 months, says it's not an invention that fixes a problem that doesn't exist, it's an invention that does much more than that.
@northlander30 Each string is on a spring and once you set the tuning tension it always knows what tension it should be at keeping your guitar in tune.
lol - the number of people commenting that, even after what I assume is a complete watch-through of the video, have no idea what this bridge does (or why one would want it) is fucking hilarious. These are the guys that pay $80 for a string change and intonation.
The Evertune let's you bend note just like a normal bridge however if you want to you can take the bend out for live or recording if your a rhythm player and do not bend notes.
LOL a super small TV or a really shitty strat LOL It costs that much because of how much it costs to produce. It's much bigger than what you see in the front of the guitar. Don't put it down because you can't afford it.
@slipknot604metallica Do you have a Evertune bridge? If so what you have to do is retune your guitar using the allen wrench adjustment in the saddleand set it for standard tuning. That sets the overall tuning for the guitar.
I would be skeptical about the sustain. It's obviously not solid and has give. GIVE is not a direct connection to the body. I'm noticing it from the sound of this telecaster. sounds limp. That being said, I would like to play this myself before buying. The key to high sustain is a solid bridge, top bone nut and solid frets. Fact. Just saying. I am a longtime Luthier which is why I'm critical.
and the problem with hardtailed guitars in the first place is??. nothing right??. heck even my floyd equiped guitar rarely go out of tune. i prefer just the "old" way cause i'm to lazy to set this evertune thing up in the 1st place.
@@legendfpv Rude Reply. Jack I appreciate your humor in this dark world. It was very entertaining muted. But one much appreciate the passion in the mans playing. I aspire to be like that one day.
@FI3NDFATH3R I saw how the saddle falls back as the string stretches. but after rewatching I understand. You do need to freshen up/ tune up still. Till saddle reaches the end stop to keep good intonation. You just can do it much quicker and without a tuner. It's a neat concept. but if you have a floating evertune setup. You will be tuning intonation by pulling the saddle with your tuning knob forward and back... It's a dream for the road shows. But idk how I feel about it as a studio guitarist.. most all guitars are already flawed enough as is. ( maybe not True Temperament frets) But I would have to try one for a while. I still have some concerns.
i was high last night when i was thinking about how the fuck does this thing work, because it mind boggling, anyway, i suddenly got it, i figured out how it works and i was amazed by this awesome piece of engineering, before that it was magic, now its fucking humans who made this. humans are the best thing in existence.
Just out of curiosity who exactly would be willing to install this thing on a guitar because most of us can't do it. And second, it seams it's made to fit Strat kinda guitar. Would it fit Les Paul type. Some useful questions to answer.
This is a great concept, except I don't understand how it works! OK I got the whole bridge set up but when you tern the tuning pegs and it comes back to perfect pitch, this is where it is fuzzy for me. How do the strings keep from slacking off when turning the pegs down?
Depends on situation. I would love to have an Evertune bridge keeping the tuning for me while recording a song in the studio or on my laptop. Tune one time and record all day long. As seen in the Devin Townsend's video, you could even disable bending of strings to make sure you record all guitar layers properly in tune.
Yes you can palm mute comfortably and the the guitar will not go out of tune no matter how hard you palm mute. It really is a amazing piece! Any questions let me know or you could call 412 828 1003
So basically you have a Htail guitar and it only tunes in one tuning? What is the point? I use my HT type guitars to tune in different tunings open DG A etc. This thing doesn't seem to allow that. Or am I wrong?
+bebenavole You can tune it to any tuning you want. The point is to keep whatever tuning you're going for, in tune.. It's not for everyone, or every situation, as is the case with everything produced in the guitar world....
+N Stuff Music "It's not for everyone" Maybe nothing is, but it's like a GODSEND to me. I have dreamed of something like this since 1959, when my dad 1st taught me ukelele!
+bebenavole I agree....Evertune is more a aggravation to someone that using more then one tuning and you have to have each one set for that tuning and snaps strings etc....Its giving me a headache
Randy--Are you saying you have an Evertune and you actually don't like it? It is in no way more difficult to use non-standard tunings--or any kind of Sonic Youth tuning you want--as any other guitar. The only difference is, once you've tuned it ONCE, you're done, unless you want to change back to standard or some different tuning. You tell the Evertune what you want, and you GET it. That's all. I was the 1st guy in San Diego to get one, had it for years now, and it is as close to perfect as it could be.BTW, when you change strings, as long as you don't change the gauge, most strings will tighten up and be ALREADY in tune! They're fantastic, Randy. Take it from a guy who owns one and has played guitar for over half a century. If you've actually got one and it's 'giving you a headache' you're doing something wrong.
This is the greatest invention of my lifetime--and I'm superannuated, kids! I read about the Evertune in Popular Science, when it was named Invention of the Year. I contacted Cosmos, the inventor, and met him at the NAMM show in Anaheim, where Ford (the guy in the video) was demo-ing the bridge. And it was freaking awesome. I immediately ordered one and, on Evertune's recommendation, had Fren Asker, a very good guitar tech in LA, install it on my 1975 Gibson SG. The SG is thinner than most guitars (a reaction to players saying the Les Paul was too heavy) and the install was tricky, but man was it worth it! You CANNOT play out of tune--how unbelievable is that? I've got a real good Peterson strobe tuner and when I change strings very often one or two of them will string up DEAD in tune--the strobe is like a rock. Now let me explain something that Ford didn't explain that well, I don't think. (Sorry, Ford, if you see this;>) The reason you want to turn the tuning pegs all the way to the sharp end of the compensating springs, and then turn the peg down to where it's just in tune is this: NOTHING will make a string play out of tune, right? So when you want to BEND notes up, with an Evertune--you can't!--The damn string could be pulled all the way up past your bloodshot eyes and it will stubbornly play in absolutely perfect intonation. So you take the spring to the end of it's travel, then when you bend the string the note can go sharp. Strings only go out of tune by going flat, and that never happens with this astounding bridge. Another cool thing you can do is put the springs more or less in mid-travel for playing rhythm parts with barre chords that are in the upper register of the neck. Even if your fingers squirm around a bit on the fret, the intonation of the chords is ALWAYS right on. The correcting action is instantanious. If you got a good guitar you're planning to keep, and particularly if you hate tuning as I 'used to', you gotta get one of these babies. Thank you, Comos Lyles, for conceiving this wonderful thing!
damn dude your style is amazing , oh and i have a question , my tuning is in drop c and it always recognizes it as drop c how the hell do i change it back to standard , it will go to standard tuning , but it never stays that way ..
looks like a huge hassle. tuning the g, b and high e that go out of tune takes like 5 seconds anyway. probably easier to just keep a tuner with, if you're not doing it by ear. costs like 10 bucks, anyway.
You probably won't use it when you're a blues player or something, but as a metal player it offers tremendous playing advantages. It gives you the opportunity to play low tuned guitars with hard picking without the slight variation in intonation that usually produces. Especially useful if 7 and 8 string guitars. Where the low strings move more than the higher strings and thus can make big chords sound kinda out of tune. You won't that sound of the string going slightly out of tune at the moment you pick and then return to it's actual pitch.
+Not Legato How about when you're in the middle of your favorite tune in your bands' repertoire, in front of a packed house, and your guitar suddenly goes out of tune? Or you're paying for studio time while you're tuning up? Or for that matter screw up a track because your guitar goes out while you're recording? NEVER HAPPEN w/ an Evertune, dude. I was like the 1st guy in the San Diego area to get one, and I've had it for a few years now. It's WAY easier to string than the Gibson Bigsby style bridge that came on my SG. It is so NOT a hassle, okay? It's one of the most gratifying purchases of my lifetime, I kid you not.
A baritone guitar? Man, you're in the advanced class there. And I guess they must make an Evertune for a baritone? If so, all I can say is I love my Evertune on my SG more than ever. It works better than just about anything I've ever owned. Half the time when you change strings the new string tightens up dead in tune. As long as you don't change gauges when you change strings, there's almost no tuning at all. Most I have to do is, after new strings have been on for a couple days, I put my intellitouch on the head and see if I can still bend notes, or if a couple strings have stretched below the limit of the spring compensation, meaning I actually have to turn the tuning pegs a little--just like the old days! (Of course, if you're playing a lot of fast block chords further down the neck, you can always loosen all the strings a bit at the machines so that it's impossible to play the chords out of tune, even if you smear the strings around a little on the fret board.) Oh, re the tremelo bar--Same for me. Before the Evrtune I had a Bigby and I never used the damn t-bar once. They were trying to develop an Evertune with a t-bar (which is a t-bar I might use. But when I was playing in bands I was sure that using that thing would knock my tuning out everytime, right in the middle of a song, something I REALLY hate.) I'm not sure if Comso gave up on that, or if they succeeded.
I don't understand people talking down on others while they make a jackass outta themselves... This was the whole purpose of the whole video - demonstration of the product, dumbass
what is the point of having a guitar that doesn't detune if it doesn't allow you to play? (i mean, no bends, no wide vibratoes or your notes will last, like, umm 0.5 seconds?... it doesn't look like a good cost for not-tuning a guitar) meh, i'd better have a hardtail and spend few minutes to tune a guitar before playing.
Wow, TH-cam fanboys love to fight. I wouldn't carve a massive chunk out of my beloved les Paul to solve a problem I don't have. It's just an opinion. My opinion is just as valid as rob's. I don't need permission to leave a comment saying I can't see the need for this. I like rob, I watch a lot of the andertons vids, still think his hairdo sucks. Opinions. He might dislike my beard.
I concur. Rob also talks too much about nothing. Hard to follow when you're two minutes in and he's still rambling about some other thing than what the video is supposed to be about
but...why? like I get it but it's excessive. I'm all for innovation. I think your best bet with tuning is headless. but even that's not a need. it's just too...much
This product is excellent sounds the same as any normal guitar and is worth every penny. I damaged my Evertune while tuning (my fault stripped a bolt and didnt read their warning)and they sent me the replacement parts in 2 days. The intonation and tuning sound excellent and when you play festival gigs like we do going from hot to cold is no problem. No more stretching in strings either. All we need now is a bass version...
this needs waaaaay more compression, i can still hear a bit of dynamic
beyond tuning in open, since it works by keeping constant tension it also keeps intonation to the highest frets, allowing high chord shapes to sound in tune (a problem even the best intonated guitars have) since it readjusts the tension when you push down to fret a note. to me that is what makes it more than just a convenience
You can tune to any tuning you wish. It takes a little more time but once its set you will never go out of tune.
WOW take it easy on the compression there lol
Quick question: initially it sounds like the bends die out, is that due to the tension being taken up by the evertune? (ie. it'll only allow minor bends?)
I'm a satisfied customer Whats cool is that you can set some of the string to un-bendable and other to bendable independently .It smooths out tuning problems of High fret necks, you know when u squeeze too hard. and the fun thing is you can set a range of just when a string bends so say u squeeze too hard the bridge won't sharpen the note but bend it more than the squeeze and it will bend. once u get this bridge u can't live without it anymore
Thanks. Now I finally understand how it can both bend AND stay in tune.
at 27 Seconds i almost called 911 , thought he was having a stroke .

He looks like there's a bee flying by his face and it won't leave.
I bet if you tried it you would change your mind. It really is a marvelous piece.

Roller bridges and nuts, together with locking tuners will solve 99% of tuning issues anyway. I installed a Wilkinson/Gotoh trem, locking tuners with staggered posts on my strat (to eliminate string trees) and I never need to retune my guitar even after massive whammying and bending. And I don't even have rollers at the nut - just properly cut slots for my gauge string and a bit of pencil graphite in nut slots before a string change. (A Graphtech XT nut will do the same.) The only times I need to tune are if the ambient temperature has changed significantly since the guitar was last played (causes minor expansion/contraction of steel strings). The Evertune may actually be susceptible to this also, since springs are even more sensitive to temperature change than taut strings, at least theoretically.
it's one of those inventions, great invention but it solves a problem that doesn't really need an invention to solve. If i was going to have a tuning bridge, it would have to be the wilkinson atd ht440, now that is an invention that solves a genuine problem, changing tunings super fast.

This is the greatest invention of my lifetime--and I'm superannuated, kids! I read about the Evertune in Popular Science, when it was named Invention of the Year. I contacted Cosmos, the inventor, and met him at the NAMM show in Anaheim, where Ford (the guy in the video) was demo-ing the bridge. And it was freaking awesome. I immediately ordered one and, on Evertune's recommendation, had Fren Asker, a very good guitar tech in LA, install it on my 1975 Gibson SG. The SG is thinner than most guitars (a reaction to players saying the Les Paul was too heavy) and the install was tricky, but man was it worth it! You CANNOT play out of tune--how unbelievable is that? I've got a real good Peterson strobe tuner and when I change strings very often one or two of them will string up DEAD in tune--the strobe is like a rock. Now let me explain something that Ford didn't explain that well, I don't think. (Sorry, Ford, if you see this;>) The reason you want to turn the tuning pegs all the way to the sharp end of the compensating springs, and then turn the peg down to where it's just in tune is this: NOTHING will make a string play out of tune, right? So when you want to BEND notes up, with an Evertune--you can't!--The damn string could be pulled all the way up past your bloodshot eyes and it will stubbornly play in absolutely perfect intonation. So you take the spring to the end of it's travel, then when you bend the string the note can go sharp. Strings only go out of tune by going flat, and that never happens with this astounding bridge. Another cool thing you can do is put the springs more or less in mid-travel for playing rhythm parts with barre chords that are in the upper register of the neck. Even if your fingers squirm around a bit on the fret, the intonation of the chords is ALWAYS right on. The correcting action is instantanious. If you got a good guitar you're planning to keep, and particularly if you hate tuning as I 'used to', you gotta get one of these babies. Thank you, Comos Lyles, for conceiving this wonderful thing!
Very Cool !
damn dude your style is amazing , oh and i have a question , my tuning is in drop c and it always recognizes it as drop c how the hell do i change it back to standard , it will go to standard tuning , but it never stays that way ..
LOL
looks like a huge hassle. tuning the g, b and high e that go out of tune takes like 5 seconds anyway.
probably easier to just keep a tuner with, if you're not doing it by ear. costs like 10 bucks, anyway.
You probably won't use it when you're a blues player or something, but as a metal player it offers tremendous playing advantages. It gives you the opportunity to play low tuned guitars with hard picking without the slight variation in intonation that usually produces. Especially useful if 7 and 8 string guitars. Where the low strings move more than the higher strings and thus can make big chords sound kinda out of tune. You won't that sound of the string going slightly out of tune at the moment you pick and then return to it's actual pitch.
+Not Legato How about when you're in the middle of your favorite tune in your bands' repertoire, in front of a packed house, and your guitar suddenly goes out of tune? Or you're paying for studio time while you're tuning up? Or for that matter screw up a track because your guitar goes out while you're recording? NEVER HAPPEN w/ an Evertune, dude. I was like the 1st guy in the San Diego area to get one, and I've had it for a few years now. It's WAY easier to string than the Gibson Bigsby style bridge that came on my SG. It is so NOT a hassle, okay? It's one of the most gratifying purchases of my lifetime, I kid you not.
A baritone guitar? Man, you're in the advanced class there. And I guess they must make an Evertune for a baritone? If so, all I can say is I love my Evertune on my SG more than ever. It works better than just about anything I've ever owned. Half the time when you change strings the new string tightens up dead in tune. As long as you don't change gauges when you change strings, there's almost no tuning at all. Most I have to do is, after new strings have been on for a couple days, I put my intellitouch on the head and see if I can still bend notes, or if a couple strings have stretched below the limit of the spring compensation, meaning I actually have to turn the tuning pegs a little--just like the old days! (Of course, if you're playing a lot of fast block chords further down the neck, you can always loosen all the strings a bit at the machines so that it's impossible to play the chords out of tune, even if you smear the strings around a little on the fret board.)
Oh, re the tremelo bar--Same for me. Before the Evrtune I had a Bigby and I never used the damn t-bar once. They were trying to develop an Evertune with a t-bar (which is a t-bar I might use. But when I was playing in bands I was sure that using that thing would knock my tuning out everytime, right in the middle of a song, something I REALLY hate.) I'm not sure if Comso gave up on that, or if they succeeded.
Seem to be a whole lot of trouble...
If you can't tune your string within few seconds when for whatever reason it goes out,you have a problem.
You have to hollow out your guitar to fit it
Immensely
Those bends don't look or sound right.
i'm assuming it was on purpose to show that you can bend all you want without the guitar going out of tune.
The purpose was just to pull the absolute hell out of the strings to demonstrate the tuning stability
I don't understand people talking down on others while they make a jackass outta themselves...
This was the whole purpose of the whole video - demonstration of the product, dumbass
for example: carbon neck + double locking fixed bridge.
and you'll never find a winter that detunes your guitar.
Yeah it should fit on a Schecter Hellraiser.
It won't fit in anything that isn't routed for the massive hole. Bigger than a Floyd.
Good concept but limits your playing style according to the tension.
Thats the point..it doesn't go out!
what is the point of having a guitar that doesn't detune if it doesn't allow you to play? (i mean, no bends, no wide vibratoes or your notes will last, like, umm 0.5 seconds?... it doesn't look like a good cost for not-tuning a guitar)
meh, i'd better have a hardtail and spend few minutes to tune a guitar before playing.
who are you to say they don't? dreadlocks look fantastic, chappers can do what he wants.
0:35 FART!!
looks like it eats sound more than floyd and turns your bends into a crap.
yeah, very usefull thing.
That is a DIRTY ass guitar
BLACK MAGIC!!
scary...but worth it
I'm gonna stick it in there, and I'm gonna turn it.
I would like this video but it’s bad luck to be number 667.
Wow, TH-cam fanboys love to fight. I wouldn't carve a massive chunk out of my beloved les Paul to solve a problem I don't have. It's just an opinion. My opinion is just as valid as rob's. I don't need permission to leave a comment saying I can't see the need for this. I like rob, I watch a lot of the andertons vids, still think his hairdo sucks. Opinions. He might dislike my beard.
I concur. Rob also talks too much about nothing. Hard to follow when you're two minutes in and he's still rambling about some other thing than what the video is supposed to be about
but...why? like I get it but it's excessive. I'm all for innovation. I think your best bet with tuning is headless. but even that's not a need. it's just too...much
too complicated for a guitar, I prefer the easy classic way.
Ah ok, cool thanks.
it'd be funny if you drove a chevy
G pentatonic minor
I don;t even know what to say - HOLY SHIT?
This bridge is bullshit, what about if you want to change to drop "D" in the middle of your gig, is not gonna work, works only for one kind of tuning.
