Hi everyone. Matt from EverTune here. Thanks for all your comments and questions. My tech, Gary Brawer (Metallica, Joe Stariani, Neal Schon) is a big EverTune guy. I encourage everyone to try it for themselves. Then you might see why Steve Stevens, Steve Miller, Ron Nevison and a lot of guys not named Steve rely on EverTune in the studio and live.

I've been using Evertune for years and the biggest benefits in order of surprise are: The pitch of the attack is the same as the pitch of the ringing note. This lets you tune/intonate better and also lets you play as hard as you want without it going sharp. Everything you play sounds like a studio recording because it's always perfectly intonated. It's hard to describe until you play it and don't hear very slightly sharp or flat notes in your chords. It inspires me to play more and longer. Not having to tune means a LOT of time and money saved in the studio. I recorded my last album almost exclusively with two Evertune guitars and in the entirety of recording the album the only time we touched the tuning was after changing the strings. Whole days of recording without tuning once, and that included runs and octaves that went up and down the neck. That perfect intonation is amazing! On stage, if you hear something out of tune, you can be confident it's not you. As a singer this is extra useful for me since it's not always easy to just tweak tuning mid-song. I've flown from Chicago to Europe, played 10 shows, including one up high in the mountains of Slovenia, and flew back home. Didn't tune once for the whole trip. I have two very nice (and pricey) Les Pauls that I almost never touch because it's just not worth it to me to have to worry about tuning on stage and I have two Evertune guitars to rely on.

A 12-string guitar would really be worth the price of admission!

What a top for a Studio

I have an LTD with Evertune and Fluence moderns. There is no going back!

Fantastic for gigging, recording, just playing in general. Long song writing sessions becomes more inspiring too, since all you gotta do is write songs not not hear strings go out of tune slightly over the course of time. And anybody who says they never have tuning issues with a normal guitar = no, any normal goes out of tune if you bend too much or go from a cold backstage to a warm stage (or other way around) Evertune solves all of that :D

A Gibson Les Paul in tune? What is this sorcery? 🧙

Great video on the evertune bridge, I understand the working of the evertune so much better now. Thanks Phil!

As an Evertune user, these videos are fun to watch 😄 I use two Solar guitars with Evertune for gigs and it is the most relaxing thing on stage, knowing your guitar and your backup are both perfectly in tune ❤

I love my LTD 1000 Evertune guitar. I’ve had it 7 years and tuned it 3 or 4 times when I changed strings. It’s amazing

Phil, I couldn't care less if I can hear you A/C in the background. Be comfortable my friend! Great video, as usual.

I love my evertunes. Once they figure out how to put a tremelo on it then its game over!

Bought a Solar Vinter 6-string with the EverTune... Hitting the open E maj chord right out of the box was one of the most memorable moments playing a guitar I've had. To hear a guitar out of the box perfectly intonated and tuned was one thing; hitting an open chord with force, and not hearing the pitch sharpen is something you don't realize you've most likely never heard before. Unless it was one of my floating trem axes, I'd want this in almost every other one.

I set my Evertune to drop D by default and tune up to E. Way more useful tuning. Also intonation is so easy on Evertune bridges as well.

I just got a 7 string with an evertune and I absolutely love it. It holds tuning so well and it feels just like a very comfortable fixed bridge to play. There are some downsides. It does affect the sound especially when you do palm mutes. It's kind of a "dampening" effect kind of like a Boss NS2 pedal. You can work around the palm mutes by disabling the locking mechanism on whatever string you want to record your mutes on or just use bigger strings, and you can dig in as much as you want so there's that too. While you can set it up to bend, slow clapton style bends tend to sound weird and are kind of hard to do. If you play mainly blues leads, I wouldn't recommend it. However for rhythm playing it's an absolute lifesaver. I've saved hours of time recording because I don't have to worry about staying in tune. It's so handy. I wouldn't put it on all my guitars but I cannot imagine NOT having at least one guitar equipped with it, and that's my main takeway. If you have one guitar equipped with an Evertune I find it highly unlikely that you'd want to send it back, having one guitar that is always just in tune is always going to be useful. More metal oriented guitars should come equipped with these things and far fewer should come equipped with Floyd Roses. The fact is whether you are a lead player or a rhythm player, you spend most of your time playing rhythm, and the Evertune really shines there. Hell even if your are a blues player, keep your strat stock and throw an evertune on a Les Paul studio so you can lay down rhythm tracks. Win win.

I feel like the podcast listeners have been waiting for this video for years! Worth it!

Such a fascinating mechanism. Really want one. Thanks for the in depth look Phil.

Amazing! My go to guitar is my 1984 Studio that I bought in 1985. Still stock, stays in tune, and I love it! My first "real" guitar!

I love Evertune so much. It’s such a time and sanity saver when you’re recording or playing live.

Up to recently, I worked for the company that owns Washburn and distributes Cort guitars and I LOVE the evertune guitars! I even set up one that was reviewed in Guitar World and they loved it too! I really would die to have a Gibson Flying V with an Evertune! The perfection of playing chords is just the most relaxing!!

Yes. Knowing my guitar is always in tune would definitely lend me to pick up and play. Thx for the video; no one on KZfaq is as good as you when it comes communicating and connecting with people and explaining gear as you. I wish there was an equal in the acoustic community.

I got a Kissel with an evertune 6 mo. Ago, i have over 30 guitars and haven’t played any of them, i just grab my Kiesel and go.. super awesome!!!!!!

Most excellent video Phil and I am a long time viewer/follower. I have enjoyed 99.9% of all of your work. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with all of us. This is the first time I’ve heard about the Evertune bridge. Fascinating and now I am curious about them. I will check to see if a store near me has a guitar with one so I can personally feel it out.

We really appreciate you doing the review! I have been very curious about everTune for years. However I don’t love the visible holes from the modification. Thanks again Phil!

Excellent overview. I still haven’t seen an ever tune in the wild just yet (live gigs and such). I’d love to try one out!

I would love to see Evertune come up with a solution for acoustic guitars. That would be insane!

The G type evertune is used on guitars where the string height at the stock bridge exceeds 1/2 inch. These are great bridges. I've got 3 guitars with them.

I learned so much Phil. To me Evertune was something I always saw on some ESP EC-1000 models. Now I know through your great video the basics of this great in tune, stable system. Thank you!

I love mine. I had one installed in my Gibson Explorer and quickly after ordered an Evertuned LTD Phoenix. I play in a country/rock cover band 4 hours almost every Saturday night and it’s been a game changer.

Love this I find it very useful, especially when you commented about it being "known fact that its in tune makes me wanna pick it up even more..." Makes me think about getting it even more

Amazing work, Phil!

Yeah Phill I’m with you on that! A guitar that’s always absolutely in tune is a go to! What an awesome looking and sounding Studio Les Paul! Great review and analysis!!!❤💕🎸👍🙏🤗✌️👋

The large backplate is for the F style Bridge. The Gibson evertune has the two seperate backplates.

This is cool, never understood this and now I do thank you!! Def has its own sound, doesn’t sound like the Les Paul as much. Little more sterile, makes sense it’s paired with actives or high gain passives. Was watching a Paul Stanley interview where he was saying the same thing about maintaining stability for rhythm (in his case talking about heavier strings). Seems like a clean rhythm set it and forget forever solution. Pretty neat!

Yeah, I agree 100%, half our guitar life we spend battling tuning issues. Using good humidifiers in my acoustic body, in the case eliminates time consumption in tuning ! I think that bridge is probably a great invention and a great product! 25 and 25 1/2 inch scales work with this? We spend so much time fixing and keeping things in order in our life it's nice to pick up your guitar and start playing....

Fantastic, I’m sold. Great video Thanks

I'm with you on the heat! It has been brutal down here in Tucson as well. I basically suspended all guitar and pickup making unless I had an order for pickups that I needed to wind.

Great video, I didn't know about this bridge. Great explanations.

I really love the tech videos. 2 in one week is such a good run

I have a Morris Hurricane with the Kahler Flyer 2 trem and locking nut, I've been very lucky as it's always in tune. I maybe adjust 1 or 2 of the fine tuners after a restring but that's it. I've had this guitar 30 years and now realise how lucky I've been, especially as it only had its first set up this year!

Really a neat engineering in this bridge. I definitely can see getting one of these on a guitar of mine. I'm really impressed with how this functions. I know they announced a bass version and curious about it, but really don't see getting the bass version as my basses hold tuning extremely well plus I use hipshot xtenders and many more alternate tuning on bass. But dang I really like this concept for guitar.

Ok, so let us address the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM !!! ... TWELVE STRING GUITARS !!! This sort of device would elevate a Rickenbacker 12 string to the next level. Would need to be a 12 string bridge of course. But the idea that you could pick up a RIC 12 and it would always be in tune would be sensational. Now, of course, you don't always want the unison pairs to be in perfect tune but it looks like the fine tuning ability would cater for this. A typical RIC 12 weighs around 3.6kg (about 8lbs). So adding this bridge would not compromise playability. The biggest challenge is that many RIC 12 owners don't want to modify the visual look of their instrument and probably don't want a permanent non-reversible customisation. But for others, the thought of a RIC 12 that never goes out of tune is quite compelling. Cheers from the Land Down Under.

Great video Phil

I'm a huge fan of the Evertune bridges. I actually love the beautifully *even* intonation even more than I love the _"not-having-to-retune-as-often thing"._

Super-interesting video, Phil. Thank you!

What a great review. Thank you Phil. It's an amazing bit of gear.

Great video, loved the info, thanks.

Great review thx! I totally agree on the sort of guitar this is great on, i got it on my LTD Viper-1000 and i love it 😍

Great vid, I had seen a lot of guitars with an Evertune bridge and never actually understood what it did and since most of the guitars that come with it are shredder guitars I had never looked into them.

I'd love one of these bridges. Might as well instead of a hardtail as you can set it to allow bends too. Not sure how well they will do adding a trem system to the evertune one day. Would be cool and surely they will one day. Lol

Thanks Phillip! Oh my gawd its fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a long time coming !!! But it was worth the wait. Now the hunt is on Phil to get the right one with an Evertune for your collection ;-)

Sounds great and looks great, makes me want to buy a Les Paul or single cut variant and have a Evertune installed on it. It’s a glorious sounding guitar. Evertune is the future and it’s a good thing for us guitar players. Phillip, you’re right, a tuned guitar is always calming. Thanks for making this video 🙏

Thanks for another great video. Very interesting. Gibsons are still not for me, having worked 17 years in a guitar store, but the bridge is something I'd like to check out now. These videos are really honest and practical, so thanks for the insight. Great to hear unbiased reaction from a real guitar player.

Great video, thanks!

Who would have thought the day would ever come where you could have a Gibson LP that would always stay in tune.

The answer to your question…yes, I would grab the one that was in tune…when I want/need to play, I don’t want to have to check tuning, action, neck relief etc…I wanna guitar thats ready when I am👍

@PhillipMcKnight, you only played the guitar in lower registers in the video, but how is the sustain in the higher registers? I had a brand new LTD Eclipse with Evertune. I returned it because the sustain in the higher registers (above the 12th fret) was too bad. After two seconds, notes were barely audible. This is my only experience of a guitar with an Evertune system.

I’m from the area where these are made. A tech loaned me a tele w an evertune for a session and it was amazing. I overdubbed all day without tuning, focusing only on music and sounds. Great studio day.

maybe it's time to get an Eclipse with Evertune - great video Phil. Thanks!

Can’t wait to put this on my vintage ‘59 LP!

I had one of the first, if not the first Evertune in SoCal put on my guitar by Fren Asken. My guitar is an SG, which are thinner than most guitars, and proved to be a bit of a challenge. But it's on there, and it is absolutely fantastic. It's spooky how good this thing works. Cosmo--If you see this, Regards!

First time I've heard of Evertune - thanks for the heads up! I really like the idea of a Gibson Studio with this rig - esp if it can be set up so top 3 strings are bendable and lower 3 can stay in tune no matter what . . . that's pretty revolutionary. Coolio 😎

I found that with light strings, the original tune-o-matic on my LP KM '78, wouldn't shorten the high E enough, so I put a Leo Quan Badass on around '79. That worked fine with the wider range for setting the saddle.

i had know idea you could adjust the string bend parameters for each individual string, pretty cool! Also that is a sweet looking Studio!

Before you explained what that bridge does to counteract what happens at the top end, Mr. McKnight, I wondered how it could work. Then, I realized that the secret hiding part to do with it being a string through system which is not typical of a Gibson Les Paul. After that, I remember the video posted by guitar Max a few weeks ago about a portable guitar that folds up at the heel. I think that part of the mechanism installed in that model to make it collapsible is a similar bridge to this one.

That studio sounds great!

Having to constantly retune, and worrying about the guitar suddenly becoming headless when you least expect it, these are key parts of the Gibson experience.

I bought an ESP/LTD with the Evertune built in and it is rock solid.

That would have been great when I gigged outside in Tucson but now that I'm in sw Florida it would be even more impressive. I play in an open air venue (tiki, marina, waterfront) most of the time and my ears are fairly sensitive to out of tune guitars. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and the out of tune recordings drive me nuts. This would solve a lot of issues here with the heat and humidity. I've got something to think about. Great video.

That's why I am in love with my prs silver sky se's.They obviously can't keep better tune than an evertune but they give me that same feeling of confidence in picking it up and knowing that it's not going to be a frustrating hassle at all. ever.I still browse other "dream guitars" but I can't bring myself to buy any of them because of their sketchy tuning stability compared to some kind of magic that both my ss se's have. But now I want a strat or some kind of guitar with an evertune bridge!

I have a Solar E1.6 FBB with Evertune. It’s one of my favourite guitars. I have 5 Solars - 3 with FR trems, 1 with hard tail. Interesting that this mod didn’t route out the back like most Evertune equipped guitars. BTW if you want to understand how Evertune works? Ola Englund has videos on tuning and drop tuning Evertunes. Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

My quicksilver has the Buzz Feiten tuning system. Wonder if it would work. I absolutely love this idea

I have been waiting for you to do an EverTune video!!!

The Evertune system looks visually appealing as well. I'm actually kinda impressed. That LP is absolutely beautiful by the way. I'm jealous lol.

If you're a player that digs in, this could be great. No re-tuning between songs. Considering the engineering, seems inexpensive.

Impressive! I would be curious to see a demo incorporating some string bending.

I would for sure buy that guitar. It looks awesome!

Thanks, Phillip. You know, the SG screams for this upgrade...the added body weight would offset/eliminate neck dive and it would solve the tuning stability issues. If it will fit an SG, its a no-brainer. Would love to see that video. Cheers.

I can see this being very useful in a studio / recording situation. However, to answer your question, if I walked into a room would I grab it just because I knew it was in tune, no I would not. I would still pick up my N4, Jem, or Les Paul.

I have a T style with evertune and it’s great for outdoor gigs

Great premeire, enjoyed the chat!! Evertune is pretty amazing

Great info.

I just ordered my first Evertune, a Hype GTI From Ormsby that's multiscale(first multiscales with evertunes), I think it'll make me play even more for sure, and the rest of Ormsby's stuff already got me to 3-4 hours a day a lot of the time.

Awesome review

Kind of reminds me of learning and succeeding at tuning my Emons S10 Pedal Steel.

I'm curious if that extra stuff helps with neck dive on an SG. Also, if they make an Evertune with the playability of a Floyd Rose, I'm all in day 1.

Thanks Phil. I've always thought Evertune was a cool idea. I could install it myself but at $295, I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Did exactly that... bought the ESP w Evertune and Seymour Duncans. I am not a metal guy at all, but this guitar doesn't know (shhhh) it is a metal guitar. I have convinced it that it can have a great life playing rock, jazz, blues, alt - not too proud to beg. It lives in my barn/music room which has wildly varying temps/humidity. Never budges out of tune. And the guitar is a beautiful LP style body with stunning gray/black design. Kudos Evertune and ESP! PS, the non-Evertune guitars that live in the barn go a full step out of tune frequently. And I'm not an ET shill - I ain't chasing no waterfalls.

@ 9:18 Evertune did a good job 👍 that bridge sounds like an absolute miracle; what would they have thought back in the 50's had they seen this? 🤔 @ 15:57 absolutely! 👩 it sounds like " State-of-the-art " technology, thank you for the heads up; I had no idea such technology even existed; from: Scranton, Pennsylvania

Great review! I think this should come standard with all guitars. Especially Gibson, with their tuning issues. I take it that Evertune only make “fixed bridge” versions? Nothing with a tremolo etc?

A guitar that’s always in tune? What’s the world coming to. I enjoyed the video. I may try one of these out.

Would be great a great option on a modern or axcess

Nice work 🤟

This would be perfect for a gigging guitar ! I don't mind tuning my guitar at home but for the stage I would use this 100%

Very cool.

I do have a guitar that is always in tune. It's called the Telecaster. Joking, of course. This looks pretty cool.

Hey I have that little Laney Lionheart amp . I love it :) it sounds great for what it is. I don’t even use the app with it.

Someone finally found a way to a Gibson in tune. Brilliant! I'd get an SG with an Evertune in a hot second. It would probably mitigate the neck dive too.

It's really cool, I could see having it on a guitar for rhythm/recording work. I also wonder if you'd get more time in between string changes with an evertune system. You'd still end up with "dead strings" over time, but I guess they'd still be in tune? Do they make anything for acoustics or is that not really feasible?
