😂😂😂🤣

Exactly my thoughts

+Alex Hollins im sensing sarcasm :P

🤣

no kidding lol

Tyler DeHate ill just not fret my chords with incredible hulk grip

The real magic of these bridges is if you do play gigs. At least to me its fantastic not worrying about tuning issues. The guitar has also typically been in a car/plane and takes time to settle. With this system you are set with a quick check, and its usually spot on!

Lol 😂

You're not alone lol

Yeah…… no way

I’m sure he practiced on a bunch of Epiphone Specials bought used first. Completely screwed up on the first few.

Actually, I have an ESP LTD EC-1000ET, which obviously has the Evertune bridge in it. I was skeptical as well when it first came out. However I watched some recent videos, and realized that you can bend, etc with it (I literally wrote it off and paid ZERO mind to it when released other than reading it's initial reports). OnceI saw multuple videos and read multiple pieces of info, I bought the LTD with the Evertune. I have never been happier! It doesn't "stay in tune with itself", yet it stays in tune with what I set it at, which in this case is A440. I bought it a month and a half or so ago, could be as much as 2 months. As an experiment, I have left the strings it came with (fresh installation of D'Addario XL's at the shop, although not my personal string choice) on it, and used it like I normally do, which is weekly for practice, and on Sundays for a Worship guitar which sometimes is rhythm, and sometimes lead. As of Yesterdays practice, I still have not had to tune it, not once aside of one time I was showing off the different stages of "lock" areas (such as stage 2 which allows you to bend and never go sharp or flat no matter how hard you press or bend the strings) and then I used the tuning wrench it comes with to show how and where you tune it, and I accidentally moved the high E string out of tune, and had to bring it back. Aside of that, not had to tune it, ever (get it? Evertune? haha) So, I get the skepticism, but this is from a real world user. And hey, if someone wants to tell me I got lucky and got one that works great, then hey, I won the lottery, because this is the best non standard bridge system I have ever used and I couldn't be happier! I do wish you could drop tune easier with these things, but that is why I used it as I do, because no need to drop tune at church. I will use my standard rigs for those types of gigs!

why not re-invent the guitar? it'd be easier! How many guitarists are expert woodworkers ? drill press? forstner bits? router? seriously?

Movafagh baashi

Me either but a pro is a pro. My dad did car body work. I’m like, how can it come out looking dealership new?

Ikr However the benefits out weigh the bad

This should only be done to a Chibson Les Paul guitar!

Yes! Keep in mind this video is 10 years old and was meant as an instruction video for professionals before there were OEM guitars available with Evertune.

It's now 10 years later and they have a new template design that allows you to easily remove the wood with a chain saw.

***** An offense worthy of capital punishment.

I've already installed Floyd Rose on my 1959 Les Paul

I used my ‘59 Les Paul as firewood when we ran out.🤣

Just try it

What are you talking about? It only took him 6 minutes. Look at the video time of 6:09

I don't recall, but there is detailed installation info here: www.evertune.com/resources/instructions_drawings_and_CAD_for_bridge_installation.php that will tell you how thick a guitar has to be for various configurations. Plus dimensioned drawings and CAD files.

Generally speaking, an F model will just fit in a stock Strat with a surface mounted rear plate, and a G model will require a riser plate under the rear plate if the guitar is thinner than 1-3/4" which I think might happen on SG's. The difference between F and G models is the space between the strings and the body of the guitar. G models have a larger space, such as used in tune-a-matic bridges.

Interesting. I ask because you could only go so deep until you bit the cavities I where the pickups are installed!

@@joeoneill9098 In the F model, the wood is almost completely gone there. If you don't have a pickguard there is only a thin strip of wood between the bridge pocket and the pickup pocket. The bottom of the neck pickup nearly hits the Evertune modules. It is a very tight fit.

kh155 And acoustic guitars have more wood?

kh155 Wood doesnt matter on an electric

+FPChris I really believe the amount of wood does. The other week I A/B'd two identical guitars how ever one had a floyd rose n the othe a fixed bridge. Instantly I could hear that the floyd equipped guitar had a lot less bass then the fixed bridge

Old debate.

Aaron, The guitars are not identical! Did you record the instrument then swap bridge systems? The pickups may have had slightly different outputs (windings), pots may have slightly different values and the caps which do react with the load, are in the circuit even when the pot is wide open may have different values. To top it all off, the necks may have had different densities (most definitely) and this does make an appreciable tone difference that body wood has far less (like none we hear when amplified) effect, and the bridge systems are made up of differing materials which makes quite an audible difference in many cases. Other than this, the instruments may have been identical ;-)

The G style retrofit is much harder than F for sure. It's much easier to manufacture a new guitar with Evertune from the start, which a number of OEM's do.

This video was created strictly as a routing guide for installers. There may be more resources on the Evertune site that explain installation.

For the ones with a loooot of money

its not a tool or a savings account, quit with the drama queen metaphors, most guitar players sell to buy new, if its a guitar youre gonna keep then its fine, but if you plan on reselling, most people dont want altered parts

derzx 479 They don't have to buy it then. Stop being such a fucking drama queen.

A retrofit should be done by a pro. Or you can get a new guitar that already has it.

It's sad how people avoid new stuff and are stuck in the past. This thing is just so useful in live situations and studio. Real professional guitar techs won't argue about that. Maybe not worth it, if you are playing at home with your line6 spider 15w amp, but when temperature and humidity varies from place to place in gigging situations, it's just a no brainer really. Saves alot of time in studio situations also because you don't have to waste time tuning the thing after every take. Also alot better when you can set the bridge for rhythm takes so when pressing or hitting the string harder won't make it go sharp. Most people didn't even learn or try how the thing works before commenting and most of those guys play only strats and les pauls. Cmon it's 2019 not 1960.
