Ibanez really needs to make a production RG XL 7-string with an Evertune, i'm begging

[@Itsnotsafe2swim2day]

You and me both dude, I’m so close to slapping an evertune on my 2027xl

[@Steve_H_131]

Or just a simple hard tail would be good too, the Floyd is keeping me away

[@QUEENKONA]

@@Itsnotsafe2swim2dayHow do you plan to do that? Evertune denied me (Jimmy) because of the wood fill work. All other shops said it could be a $5-800 job 😮

[@Itsnotsafe2swim2day]

@@Steve_H_131I’d settle for that too. That’s my biggest want from Ibanez, fixed bridge version of the 2027xl.

[@Itsnotsafe2swim2day]

@@QUEENKONAI found a tech that would be willing to do it. It is a bit pricey no doubt, and probably would need to be refinished but honestly that’s kind of my dream Ibanez in a way so I’d be willing to sell off another one of my other guitars to make that happen, which is the most likely path to me doing that.

[@brockgunderson7841]

FYI the stock pickups are Dimarzio fusion edges, Jesse has Dimarzio dactivators

[@grrttshw]

Hell yeah. Been stoked since for this since you posted it on IG. Saw these guys live with ERRA and Bad Omens and it was an absolute blast.

[@demolitions7497]

Absolutely love this band, currently one of the absolute best in the scene in my opinion. Thanks so much for this guitar chat!

[@beidouvirus3978]

IA have never missed. Not even ONCE

[@TobyKBTY]

Honestly these chill, casual interviews discussing super nerdy modern metal guitar details are really cool. These are such great features for artists who don't normally get covered by bigger channels/publications like Premier guitar or Guitar World. Keep this going, man it's awesome

[@flashbackshape]

I can’t wait to see his LACS 😮

[@ivannamba1]

He is insane guitar player! Love Invent Animate music so much!

[@JimCyanide]

Id love to see one of these with Chris from currents

[@leorobinsonnn]

invent are one of the best bands i’ve ever seen live

[@Sjrm126]

Thanks Keyan! I enjoy all of invent animate’s riffs

[@HeFoundAgartha]

Been a massive IA fan since 2014. Love them

[@loganwelty7094]

Really enjoyed this! IA is one of my all-time favorite bands

[@relinquishedfate]

Would love to see Braden from Diamond Construct on this at some point!!

[@itzGZUSbetch]

Like a modern metalcore Tom Morello. Dudes a monster

[@3.eRicc_]

been waiting for this. this is fucking awesome.

[@pres4515]

bro is so chill i love him

[@RobDogzInc]

Could someone explain at 9:50. Does he mean the 6th string as in the .54 gauge, or the first string .10 gauge? I feel like you wouldn’t want a .10 gauge for double drop D# tuning. But I also wouldn’t want 5 wound strings instead of 4.

[@Cos_]

Get an Ernie ball 8 string pack 10, 13, 17, 30, 42, 54, 64, 74 Get rid of the 54 Then string the guitar with the remaining 7 strings. You’ll still have the normal ratio of wound to flat to wound strings, but your strings would go in this order 10, 13, 17, 30, 42, 64, 74

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

@@Cos_horrible gauge choices, the tension would be all over the place for this tuning. Use a string tension calculator

[@jdoxpears]

Jesse uses Dimarzio Illuminators(or at least used). The stock XL dimarzios are the Fusions, closely matching that of a Titan which Jesse used in some 6 strings also before settling on illuminators.

[@Dollyo98]

afaik Jesse uses D-activators on his guitars, at least on his 7 strings

[@Vixfor_]

Favorite band :)

[@josephharvey1762]

You should chat with Misha! That would be awesome

[@Craigs_mums_bush]

How can you get that to intonate though at such low tuning? I've been told by guitar techs and luthiers that 27" isn't enough for tuning that low especially when .80 is max string guage.

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

Evertune magically makes low tunings intonate better on shorter scales. Normally you’d be totally right, 27 is not enough really for perfect intonation at D#

[@dakotahedrick7304]

Bruh a 74 gauge in double drop d# how??? I have to be at a 85 for drop e on a 27 inch scale to even feel any kind of tension

[@hehebwoai3056]

I use a 95 gauge for D# on a 27" multiscale and i'm thinking of bumping it up to 100 haha

[@Return2TheLiving]

That is what he is doing. I crammed an .85 through even though it only supports up to .80

[@theeternalistfm]

Evertune is the key word here. You could easily tune down to Drop F on a 25.5“ scale with a 74 as long as you’ve got an evertune.

[@perrtown]

Does evertune help the string tension??

[@Return2TheLiving]

@@perrtown that is exactly what it does. It has a spring system that automatically adjusts the tension as the string stretches or flexes to maintain the tuning

[@blackbucciarati]

he said he’s using the 8 string guitar string sets so I’m curious if he’s tuning that low anyway why he doesn’t make the swap over to an 8 string? I think a player like him could really push the boundaries of an 8 string like he’s already been doing with 7

[@kris_kwas]

Some players dont feel as comfortable on an 8-string. If I had to assume it’s probably just a personal preference kinda thing. Id be down for some 8-string Invent stuff tho.

[@carazy123_]

Excited to see IA live in a few weeks!

[@gustavomazonave8536]

I would love to know if the bass in the record is the same octave or an octave bellow kkkkkk

[@EthanRadell]

It's same octave except for certain notes. Caleb uses a 35" scale length bass I believe and it's just in normal drop D# for bass. So like a half step down and then another full step for the low boi

[@Bluenight72]

Can someone explain what evertune does? how does a 74 hold tuning on double drop D? Lol - must be worth getting I assume

[@Return2TheLiving]

How he is doing it I don’t know, I have a 26.5 using an .85 that gets me to F#. I’m thinks a .74 or .80 would get him to F#. Evertune locks the tension in, a string will never lose pitch, it has springs for each spring that will adjust to compensate for strings stretching over time and depending on what you have it set to, it can cancel out bending. I believe I saw evertune only supports up to .80 strings and Drop F and so I don’t he accomplishes anything beyond that with thinner strings

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

@@Return2TheLivingI can get down to around E set up well on 26.5 with an 85. 74 is all you need for F# really

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

You can set up an evertune to have pretty much no pitch drift whatsoever, which helps a lot with using thinner strings

[@ericsmith6633]

I believe DR makes a 76.

[@justevan877]

[@sk8125]

He just needs to order a new string module for that broken one. Super easy fix… just have to take the comb off and swap out that single string module.

[@EthanRadell]

PLEASE IBANEZ MAKE A PRODUCTION RGXL WITH AN EVERTUNE. I AM BEGGING YOU. DO NOT MAKE ME GET AN 800 MOD ON ONE OF YOUR $2,000 PRESTIGES. THERES NO REASON YOU CANT MAKE IT HAPPEN. THE ENTIRE METAL GUITAR COMMUNITY WOULD BE HAND OVER FOOT FOR THAT SHIT

Just adding a Single Coil and this Guitar would be perfect to me 😍😍😍

[@toomuchtotype6079]

I really need to stop playing the air guitar and actually learn how to play a guitar.

[@apoplexiamusic]

It's a beautiful guitar, but 27" for D#1 so damn short. Especially with the Evertune his 7th string must be so damn floppy. They should definitely do a 28" and even a 29.4" (like the Meshuggah guitar) 7 string models

[@perrtown]

The world needs longer 7s! I’m afraid to buy an xl cause I feel like they’re about to release a 28 or 29 😂

[@metalmaniaclukeuk]

It blows my mind how you can literally have minus charisma but your now a interviewer stick to guitar that is just about tolerable
