Evertune Bridge Long-Term Update - Is It Still In Tune??

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks for tuning in...hahaha Definitely a crazy amazing bridge! Enjoy :)

[@theadventuregamer6855]

I need this how much is it

[@stevezeeTee]

Tuning in... haha! Thanks for making me want to spend even more money ... AGAIN 😆

[@nicolasreveco3748]

hey darrel what do you think about a cort x6 for $200

[@justbob9006]

I really enjoyed this. This is a game changer. I wonder if they will do this for a tremelo?

[@jstnxprsn]

Yeah, leave it to you Darrell to show me one of the weirdest guitar things I have ever seen and then not explain how it accomplishes this feat of magic. LOLOL Ok a few things. First love that ax. Sweetest color, and a killer Rockabilly type sound, no muss, no fuss. Second, my Les Paul hasn't been out of it's case in 6 or 7 months, but I'd bet cash money, it's in tune. In fact, the only thing that messes with the tuning in general is temperature extremes. Lastlu, when I bend my strings I want them to change pitch. While, that seems like a handy trick to cover sloppy playing, I think I'd rather clean up my playing and besides, a little slop is Ok. It's rock n roll. I still want to know how it does that though. Thanks, brother. You are a KZbin gem. - Jstn

[@andrewstevenson3807]

In the last two years I have sold almost my entire guitar collection and replaced them with evertune equipped guitars. Those few that I kept, I also had fitted with evertune bridges. Best invention ever. Saves so much time in the studio. Temperature changes when out touring don’t matter. Just awesome.

[@blackdogsheep5631]

I have three guitars that I have Evertuned. I plan on converting all but my collectible guitars. I got about 7 more to go. I love them. I leave one in E, one in Eb and the other in Drop D.

[@BartVersteeg]

You don’t bend ?

[@chrispychreme02]

Watching this man tune up that much was stressing to watch.

[@gregmullins6927]

I wished I kept my Evertuned 535 Heritage now after seeing your clear instructions, so there's no reason why anyone should have any problems now,well done Darrell.

[@jonnybroomhead]

Long time believer in the evertune. I've got a kiesel 7 string evertune and a Solar 6 string evertune. I've literally tuned each guitar once.

[@dongonzulman6478]

How's the Solar? Im not really a metal guy ( I love Ola's channel though), but do you think it would work for many genres, or just crushing brutal chugs?

[@jonnybroomhead]

@@dongonzulman6478 Sound and feel wise, I would recommend it for any genre. It's 2 humbuckers with a five way switch, so it actually really versatile. But it DEFINITELY sounds dope for brutal chugs. A esthetically, it looks pretty metal haha.

[@jonnybroomhead]

I haven't changed the strings yet, but I'm putting on a fresh set for the 7 string kiesel next week for the studio, so I'll let you know!

[@ADoveThatPlaysXbox]

​@@dongonzulman6478 I own multiple Solar guitars with Evertune's and they are all awesome. The stock pickups are great, and are medium output so they do cover a nice range. I did swap out the pickups in all of mine just because I had high end pickups laying around.

How does a Evertune Bridge work? magic.. simply magic. Probably one of the most beneficial innovations to the guitar in a while.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Always a pleasure to check it out! A guitar that stays in tune is quite good as it is!

[@MrRedinator_]

Why didn't you put it on a Gibson? That would be the perfect benchmark.

[@shreddyz]

Going out of tune every 15 minutes is a feature, not a bug.

[@heathwasson7811]

@Ben Hackett Still works, as it's compensating for the string binding over the nut break.

[@Dug6666666]

Because staying in tune wouldn't be authentic. ( will that one ever got old, I think not)

[@bradrichardson3539]

Because gretsch is superior.

[@dongonzulman6478]

@Ben Hackett First, I agree that Gibson should probably lessen the angle on their headstocks (purists would keel over dead lol) My Gibson LP Standard holds tune fine, and my epi 60's tribute plus has locking grovers the Gibo doesn't. I had to really clean out the nut on my Epi before B and E wouldn't ping while tuning and stay in tune after bends. While you are correct about the break angle issue, Gibson owners typically just wrap the B and high E strings up instead of down like most guitars. Works for me

[@superman198224]

Even when missing a string, the Evertune stays in tune... Very Spinal Tap thing to say.

[@ronnyp6934]

Will it stay in tune even when the knobs on my amp are all set to eleven though ?

Evertune's are amazing! I currently own 7 guitars equipped with that bridge. 3 Solar's, 1 Fender Tele USA, 2 LTD's, and a Jericho. Each set up for a different tuning... you cant beat grabbing a guitar off the wall and not having to tune it!

[@Groovegandalf]

my main guitar has been my evertune eclipse 1000 since the day i bought it. i put it in C standard a looooong time ago and havent done anything but change strings when i need to. i literally have not tuned it since the day i set it up and did the intonation. it's perfect for recording and live. you never have to retune during a set.

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

How the hell is intonation done on this bridge when the bridge is not normal

[@mechanismguy]

@@naegleriafowleri2230 each string is controlled by a separate identical movable module.

[@sisgaia]

That is insane! Cosmos Lyles and Paul Dowd (the inventors) should not only be very proud of what they have accomplished, but also very well rewarded.

[@highlandparkguitarlessons8129]

Didn’t even have to finish the whole video, you sold this soo well. Just aces man

[@calbrockocat8728]

A bridge tune far? I say no way. What a cool gizmo.

[@Jdverismo]

This was such a good, clear, demonstration. I wasn't sure before watching this whether or not you could bend/articulate normally with the bridge. Thanks.

[@pierrepaul7342]

Think you Darrel ! This bridge is a little miracle.

[@anthonyrosenthal2864]

I have been wondering about these bridges for a while, and didn't realize how involved they were. You educated me very well on the subject and I might just be sold on a guitar I've been looking at recently. I've seen them mentioned elsewhere, and someone will say they've had one on a guitar they play regularly and haven't had to retune in months.... of course, I'm thinking "yeah, right, whatever lol." But after watching your video I'm more of a believer. Very informative. Thank you!

[@riddhimannmukherjee5956]

Hey Darrell, can you please make a video on budget audio interface, with a comparison? I really need that

[@vicentealday]

G chord: impossible

[@edisongabutero9455]

Best Evertune explanation on KZbin!!!

[@jwilder2251]

Darrell, I read so many internet comments about this that made it sound like brain surgery. Didn’t seem worth the hassle. But you just showed that it’s dead simple. Now I need one!

[@cederickforsberg5840]

Its definitely worth it! I love being in tune ALL. THE. TIME. It just makes me more creative!

[@ClintsCrypt]

There are some reasonably priced, great Solar guitars by Ola Englund on their website. I plan to get one eventually. 😀

[@evanwilliams8908]

That’s so cool. Amazing that you can set it up in so many ways. It’s worth the tricky set up if you are playing live and need it to be perfect. Would be a bit worried about breaking a string but you should have 2 guitars or more when playing live unless you are SRV or BB king and can change a string without missing a beat.

[@aljanecko]

That is awesome, watching this video, my Gibson Les Paul fell out of tune in its case.

[@officialWWM]

I have a Parker Fly like that. I put new strings on it, tune it up and the next time I retune it is when I change the strings again. It's awesome :)

[@jazzrengue]

Love that bridge!! Awesome!! Will definitely use one on a future build.

[@choreuviz]

Another great vídeo. Thanks Darrell!

[@Bob-Whiting]

Amazing. I would set it up so the low E doesn't go sharp when I dig in, and the rest would be bendable. Thanks for the 2 vids on this bridge and the links too!

[@pedraw]

I have to get one of these....................Brilliant! Thank you Darrell.

[@littvay]

Finally I understand what this beast is all about

[@_NoDrinkTheBleach]

I bought an Evertune equipped guitar a few months ago. It takes a minute to get used to the feel during bends (it doesn't hamper play, you can just feel the springs moving in the system). The biggest takeaway is that you don't realize how often you have to retune your guitars until you get one that you literally never have to tune. If you're the kind of person that only plays in one tuning, I can't recommend the Evertune enough. If you like to drop tune or change tunings constantly, it's only slightly easier to mess with than a Floyd Rose.

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

hell of a piece of work

[@lohansubramaniam6839]

I got scared when i saw you holding the guitar by the strings

[@jayess1382]

i did too.

[@anthonychilds8193]

Evidently you've never seen Steve Vai play guitar...:-)

[@heathwasson7811]

I'm pretty old school, and think most guitar "advancements" are gimmicks to get players to upgrade, solve a problem that doesn't really exist, cause more problems than they fix, or simply don't work (Gibson robo tuners, for example, are a bit of all of these). This is an ingenious piece of engineering though. It's about the only "upgrade" I've ever considered purchasing for a guitar, outside of swapping pickups. I'd absolutely buy it if I were doing any type of gigging these days.

[@Shane-sf9pv]

After seeing your videos on the evertune I’m definitely gonna be looking for one on my next guitar. As someone who switches tunings frequently, I’ve gotten so sick of Floyd’s and just tremolos in general.

[@rightsidegraphics6008]

Excellent video Darrell - great display and explanation. Thinking about this for my Gibson Les Paul Standard Goldtop - thanks.

[@patrickduguay8]

I have my Luthier install the Evertune on a project RG1570 replacing the Floyd Rose. Love it!

[@Knoxvillemoto]

I would 100 percent never use the non bending setup. How well does it keep in tune in the full articulation mode.

[@divemetal]

Extremely well in full articulation. Use it my main guitar for 3 years now. It will change your life

[@aaron.s.robinson]

Just as well. He said that.

[@MrJCMG]

This is incredible!!! My jaw dropped!

[@maxdistortion]

I owned a ESP LTD eclipse that was stock with Evertune. Neat little system, but iI like being able to switch between different tunings quickly without fuss, so I wound up selling it after.. feel was a bit compromised too, despite its rock solid tuning. I may revisit this system down the road though. It was nice to have in the arsenal.

[@punkjesus10887]

Hello Darrell! First of all I want to thank you for all the things you have taught us over the years. I had no idea about electric guitars before I had stumbled upon your channel. So this maybe a late appreciation, but a heartfelt one. Also please can you please make a video on the best guitars in the Ibanez Gio series?

[@Dashcam_Drivers_Switzerland]

Gretsch are Great, Bit always little problem to stay in tune. Not the same with an Duesenberg. Your solution is great with evertune

[@logicnotfeelings3835]

Extremely well-done video. Thank you so much.

[@justbob9006]

Thanks for the demo. Thats cool as heck. Be cool to find an aftermarket for different guitars.

[@UndeadBoogie]

That is a fantastic tone you have goin' on there.

[@scotthillstrom7529]

Amazing! My jaw dropped when you bent a string and nothing happened!

[@81ghale]

I had no idea you could do so much with these, it’s pretty amazing actually. Do they also take away all the string stretching when putting on new strings? That would almost be worth it on it own lol.

[@SnowForgeHammer]

Some serious smart arse came up with Evertune. It's brilliant. It's blows my mind every time someone explains it to me

[@KrachWerke]

Amazing, should win an award for design. Genius.

[@danielmoss2394]

Very cool. I’d love you to go into more detail on HOW this system works.

[@acexxxoasis]

Each string is on its own tremelo in essence. But it's set by spring pressure there is 6/7/8 springs in back that have the proper tension to hold the string in tune, that is part of the set up though. If you change string gauges a lot, they kind of suck. If you just want it to stay in tune and you've found your gauge they are amazing.

[@williamvelez6522]

That is an amazing guitar Darrell if you don't mind me saying

[@davidmil15]

Can you do alternate tuning with that?

[@REBELSCL]

I really appreciate this review. I've got to be honest here.. I bought a LTD EC1000ET. It came strung with some pretty heavy strings and I've been nervous about restringing it with lighter strings. I'm thinking that if I do one string at a time it shouldn't be too difficult. You are absolutely right about it holding tune... I bought it because my PRS was driving me crazy trying to keep it in tune.. the way that tremolo is set up, every time you get one string to the correct pitch, all the other strings go out of tune.... it takes forever to get it right... I'm seriously thinking about blocking the trem....

[@Russell_Optics]

The evertune bridge could be the ultimate upgrade for guitars with scalloped fretboards. You could set it up so they don't go sharp so easily.

[@robertbuck7186]

Nice presentation. It shows many options..

[@SassyLeeHillius]

Darrell thank you for all your inspiring and honesty.. I have been looking at the Jay Turser guitars, have you ever reviewed them and if so I’d like to see that!

[@erickmo1188]

This thing is freaky. Watching you bend that 6th string with no effect on the note was messing with my brain

[@sublimetrance]

It is voodoo!

[@itzed]

I think this could be really good for me since I like tall frets, but tend to squeeze a little too hard sometimes and put some strings out of tune. Especially on shorter scale guitars.

[@shadoraeveon9312]

I had the same problem my friend you need thicker strings 🙌

[@tschmidt7409]

Darrell, you should put one of those evertune bridges on a Epi or Gibson Les Paul with the infamous G string tuning problem and show us if it helps or not

[@cederickforsberg5840]

Of course its gonna work :P no test needed. Evertune always works, its the point of it.

[@eddieirons7213]

Love that guitar it's beautiful that color is awesome.

[@richardsisk1770]

Excellent explanation. Thank you 😊

[@brettjockell6611]

I need a trem like that...great video

[@MrUSFT]

I find that the string starts to go sharp a little bit before you reach the end of the plateau. So instead of it being a sharp break between the plateau and it going sharp there's a little bit of a rise in the pitch when it reaches the end of the plateau. This makes it a little tricky to keep everything in tune when you're trying to set it up like a regular guitar. Other than that I think the Evertune works as advertised

[@ChristopherOrth]

That set up way that wipes out bends and such is literally a nightmare device for me! So much expression in microbends, even on chords. And what a great way to make sure you develop crappy playing style. But... the other way has merit, for sure. Thanks for the review... I'm willing to try one out now.

[@Raggo12345]

Hi! Thanks for another great video! I always use the open-E tuning on all my guitars. How does Evertune works on another tuning than the standard E-A-D-G-B-E? Can I move the plateaus to be at E-B-E-G#-B-E, on a guitar with a standard Evertune bridge? And how? Do I do it with the tuning on the bridge? Thanks again for your great videos!

[@ronwiegand3152]

Two Questions: Can the guitar be tuned to alternate tunings easily? Is bending a string more difficult?

[@fire_mace486]

Ola englund has some videos about setting it up and down tuning on it, those should answer your question

[@endezeichengrimm]

I am leaning more and more towards getting an evertune equipped guitar.

[@sublimetrance]

They really are worth it. I got a an evertune on Solar guitar and the thing is rock solid. Best $1,300 I ever spent.

[@SpokenBroke]

that is pretty crazy, off to see how it works :)

[@KingGrio]

Very impressive system.

[@DJBuglip]

Wow. That thing's pretty cool.

[@Kwaker76]

I presume that if you want full articulation mode, you need to make damn sure the strings are fully pre-stretched, to avoid it moving away from the end of the plateau?

[@mechanismguy]

The physical distance a string stretches is quite small, so you don't notice an effect on bending. The spring rate of a guitar string is very high, so even a tiny difference in length will put it out of tune.

[@averyprice9422]

Dude.. that is so dope

[@benpowersguitar]

Yeah, that is impressive.

[@YouTubeHandlesAreMoronic]

That Gretsch would look nice with a white-bound ebony fingerboard.

[@brivington2011]

Cool systeme, but you could try also a Peavey AT-200 :) and you will have a guitar they stay in tune and also in the tune mode that you like. Drop D, open G. has you wish :) I like your video, their are very intersting. But can you give us your thought about different type of Strings. I mean Guitar's Strings :D Between. D'addario, Ernie Balls, SIT, Elixir or others you know they're great. And also the different sound and playability from 8 to 52. And what do you think about the different kind of sound between steel, nickel, cobalt. I know, there is a lot to talk about, but that's a great subject. Thank you for your videos Nice greatings from Austria

[@chipgaasche4933]

Very nice "WHAT" video, Darrell. How about a "HOW" vid??

[@Olichi60]

So each string has three possible modes, no bend, natural bend and controlled bend. Awesome, but how is each mode selected? Could a player change modes between songs while playing a live gig for example?

[@johnbarker95]

Cool video. I plan on buying a Schecter Omen Extreme 6 which has a Tune_O-Matic bridge. Is this the same thing?

[@cornelius5595]

Something im curious about is if a heavy hand will cause it to go sharp. It looks like it would have a similar problem to a Floyd Rose where heavy palm mutes with too much pressure would cause it to go sharp.

[@bennett504]

Can you do a video with that and locking tuners?

[@steveb7714]

Is the tension set to compensate for A440 tuning only? What if you are covering tunes that vary slightly from standard? Break out the tuning key between songs or ??? Good concept though for sure.

[@andrelp9596]

That is some funky mojo!

[@Budphrey]

Kind of a bummer that none of the listed guitars with the Evertune as a stock component is a semi-hollow blues machine. I'll keep watching.

[@birdsaresinners3373]

You can buy one and add it on probably

[@14TacomaDR]

[@jonpappaj-son3071]

[@shponjoel]

Looks like a pain in the ass to tune. My PRS Special Semi-Hollow stays pretty damn well in tune. And it has a tremolo bridge. The locking tuners it comes with do a great job. I tune it once every 2 weeks. And i can downtune easily without all this hassle.

[@freezingjazzy]

It's not that bad. It has a designated "key" to tune. The only thing that's bad is when you misplace it, god forbid lose it. Besides that, it's not all that bad to tune. I think it also functions as a baritone of sorts. It lets you go to lower without the need of bigger string gauges.

[@shponjoel]

@@freezingjazzy sounds good but i like the freedom of just turning my knobs without any magic key and whatnot. I'm sure its good, but it's too bulky for my taste. My traditional trem bridge stays perfect in tune and looks better. Maybe they might make these smaller and better looking in the future, then i might consider one.
