Why Your EVH D Tuna Might not be Working Right

If your EVH D-Tuna isn't working correctly, this might be why.

[@lovingpeace9715]

Yes it works fine with my standard Floyd but there are still tuning issues so I am going to install a block stopper to stabilize the bridge position. You can get the with a heavy duty spring to allow for a bit off pull back. Mostly its to stabilize the bridge floating position.

Well shoot! I was about to order one of these things now I’m afraid to. I have a sh-ton of shredder guitars but all of them are Ibanez of some type or other. My oldest guitar is an Ibanez RG560from the late 80’s-early 90’s. All the rest are fairly newer guitars like JS series with the Edge Zero trems and I have a few JEM777’s that have the Ibanez FR style or copy trems. I think my JS140 has an Edge Zero II and it looks like it’s ver straight. Wonder it that would work??

[@johnzucco3559]

I am having a problem but I am suspecting that I am using it on a Jackson Fusion with an original FR Trem? The Fusion has a 24 & 3/4" neck scale so I am thinking that is affecting why I can't get it to work? Most Super Strats are 25 & 1/2" scale?? Any comments??

I have a Cort Kx5 fr and I installed this EVH tuna but it just drops half tone, I tuned it in D and after pushing the EVH it goes to Eb and not E. Why is that? Thank you 🙏🏼

[@GregTalksGuitars]

It has to be adjusted to your trem. If yours is a Floyd Rose or copy of a Floyd it should be able to work. I tried one on an original Ibanez Edge trem and I couldn't get it to work.

[@danutchioreanpeter]

I have the same issue!

Sale issue as well, when pistes in the Low E is in Eb. Also, all the other strings become slightly out of tune

[@patrogers4136]

Does it have to be an exact FR Original, or will it suffice with say the FR Special? That's what my Wolfgang is currently equipped with, however I did upgrade to a set of Original hardened steel saddles.

[@GregTalksGuitars]

It should work fine with the FR special.

[@TarynnElizabeth619]

Works fine with my Gotoh 1996t's. Have it on two of them.

[@YataGarasu9]

I had a 1990 RG550 with an original Ibanez Edge tremolo, and I had absolutely no issues whatsoever after I installed the D-Tuna

[@faridshoai7201]

Installed one myself as of late, However in Standard tuning, the low E string doesn't go toward D but rather D sharp.

[@ukulelegothboy]

Did you ever figure out a fix? I'm having the same issue..

[@danutchioreanpeter]

@@ukulelegothboy+1, I have th same issue, too! Did you guys start with blocking the trem in the dive-only position?

[@Harry_van]

Same issue here… D# bugging me

[@michaelmueller8746]

Thanks. I have a Wolfgang I love it. Really fun guitar to play. I definitely think installing this would just add to the spank.

[@kaoe145]

I was going to install this with a tremol no so I can set my trem to float or dive only I had the misconception that you tune the guitar to standard tuning and use the d tuner to change to drop d but I found out that you tune to drop tuning then use the d tune to switch to standard tuning so I figured if you set the Floyd to float in drop d you would be able to pull up but when you engage the d tuner you would have to be in dive only mode I might just get it and do some experimenting to find out for my self and post my results I might also make a video I also saw you can leave it floating with a trem stabilizer so I’m thinking about experimenting with having a trem stabilizer, tremol no and d tuner installed at the same time to get full function of my Floyd while it’s floating andbeing able to use the d tuner to quickly switch between standard to drop d I can contact you once I made my findings

[@GregTalksGuitars]

A tremol-no should stabilize your Floyd so you can use a D-Tuna and still float from what I understand.

[@alexmetal]

Hi! You was your experiment go? Would you able to use the floyd full floating in both standard and dropped?

[@xpicklepie]

Ibanez Edge trems SUCK! They made a bunch of different versions and they all take specific parts. I took my RG's and removed the original stud bushings and drilled out bigger holes to get a Floyd Rose to fit. I set the Floyd bushings in where I want them, pin them in place with toothpicks on the eccentric side gap, and drop fiberglass resin into the gap to cement them in. Then I can throw a $100 Floyd Special in there and actually get parts if anything happens to fail. It's a bunch of work but I love RG's, so I gotta maim 'em a little to make them work.

[@MarcosManzi]

Excelente video, tengo esa misma guitarra y estoy pensando en adquirir ese juguete!🤘

[@mikecooper8465]

The dtuna works on top mounted trems not recessed trems.not enough space..

[@CyberSoulLover]

Yeah. You will have to route it out. I’ve done that on one of my guitars

[@tyronegulle9664]

@@CyberSoulLover is it possible for ibanez edge trems?

[@CyberSoulLover]

@@tyronegulle9664 most of them yes. The edge zero and ZR no.

[@kaoe145]

If I install this would I only be able to have the Floyd fully floating while in drop tuning and dive only when I use the d tuna to switch to standard tuning I really like the concept and I’m interested in getting one I just had this one question I need answered before I pull the trigger so to speak

[@briangray6476]

Not with floating. It’ll throw the whole thing out of tune. Eddie’s Floyd never went sharp so it never threw a tune.

[@Elduderino9097]

Mine is impossible to pull out on the EVH

[@dieranged]

I'm having similar issues. If you tighten the d-tuna fine tuning screw it locks against the string anchor bolt. If you loosen the fine tuning screw you'll have freedom to move but you can't fine tune to E.

[@politicaloutsider413]

Dude is smart, lol.

[@tommysk8r94]

That guitar tone is really bad
