Thanks for tuning in...hahaha
Definitely a crazy amazing bridge!
Enjoy :)
I need this how much is it
Tuning in... haha! Thanks for making me want to spend even more money ... AGAIN 😆
hey darrel what do you think about a cort x6 for $200
I really enjoyed this. This is a game changer. I wonder if they will do this for a tremelo?
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 RUclips gem. - Jstn
the evertune is the greatest guitar innovation in the last 40 years. if they can come up with a trem version then it's game over for all other systems
whoa, that would put floyd rose out of business lol. You just blew my mind!
Pretty sure a trem system wouldn't work properly on this. You could tune at the bottom of the "plateau" so that dive bombs work, but then you would be giving up the ability to bend up on your strings and you definitely couldn't do a two way floating trem system.
Kahler systems are actually really good, they even have trem locks
Would never happen lmao
Think it would need a way to lock the tuning mechanism when you touch the trem arm. May be possible but super complicated.
Watching this man tune up that much was stressing to watch.
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.
Imagine a guitar with true temperament frets and an Evertune bridge! :O I think we've found the holy grail of "always perfect pitch" on a guitar..
I have one. VGA Radioactive Tommy Denander Special. Hard to find but worth it.
Some day I will make one. :O) Too cool of an idea not to play at least once, huh?
until it'a time for a refret :)
@@RobYoungband New v2 True Temperament frets are steel. So it will be never needing a refret.
Always a pleasure to check it out! A guitar that stays in tune is quite good as it is!
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.
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.
My acoustic is in Eb but that’s because I never tune it.
You don’t bend ?
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.
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!
A bridge tune far? I say no way.
What a cool gizmo.
Another great vídeo. Thanks Darrell!
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.
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?
@@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.
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!
@@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.
@@ADoveThatPlaysXbox thanks for the info, i appreciate it
Love that bridge!! Awesome!! Will definitely use one on a future build.
Extremely well-done video. Thank you so much.
Think you Darrel ! This bridge is a little miracle.
Didn’t even have to finish the whole video, you sold this soo well. Just aces man
What is this voodoo??? So why aren't Gibson's coming out with these. Les Paul (the man) would have loved it!
Cause stupid fanboys
Because Gibson is still hung up on making the same stuff they did in 1959
Because the headstocks will probably break off 😂
@@officialWWM Good point WWM!
Could've had something to do with the price and that it isn't a Gibson product.
I have to get one of these....................Brilliant! Thank you Darrell.
Thanks for the excellent explanation.
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!
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?
I like to run a evertune, locking tuners and a floyed rose locking nut. It never goes out of tune.
You can have the worst tuners and badly cut nut and Evertune will still work :P
No guitar comes with locking tuners and lock nut without floyd and recessed hole would prevent installation of the evertune as it would have to be filled with something to make it flat so is possible but not even evertune company would do it
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.
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.
hell of a piece of work
Excellent video Darrell - great display and explanation. Thinking about this for my Gibson Les Paul Standard Goldtop - thanks.
Even when missing a string, the Evertune stays in tune... Very Spinal Tap thing to say.
Will it stay in tune even when the knobs on my
amp are all set to eleven though ?
@@ronnyp6934 Don't even look at it
Don't forget about the sustain , you can just hear it
This thing looks cool, very innovative bit of kit. Not essential to a guitarist though.
Unlike the amp capo, which is still the most essential guitar accessory in my opinion.
@@aaronwebb1548 I thought fingers were ;-) ...
Nice presentation. It shows many options..
Thanks for the demo. Thats cool as heck. Be cool to find an aftermarket for different guitars.
How does a Evertune Bridge work? magic.. simply magic. Probably one of the most beneficial innovations to the guitar in a while.
This is incredible!!! My jaw dropped!
That is a fantastic tone you have goin' on there.
Why didn't you put it on a Gibson?
That would be the perfect benchmark.
Going out of tune every 15 minutes is a feature, not a bug.
@Ben Hackett Still works, as it's compensating for the string binding over the nut break.
Because staying in tune wouldn't be authentic. ( will that one ever got old, I think not)
Because gretsch is superior.
@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
Best Evertune explanation on RUclips!!!
I need a trem like that...great video
Hey Darrell, can you please make a video on budget audio interface, with a comparison? I really need that
Excellent explanation. Thank you 😊
Dude.. that is so dope
G chord: impossible
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.
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!
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!
There are some reasonably priced, great Solar guitars by Ola Englund on their website. I plan to get one eventually. 😀
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!
Its definitely worth it!
I love being in tune ALL. THE. TIME.
It just makes me more creative!
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.
That is awesome, watching this video, my Gibson Les Paul fell out of tune in its case.
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.
How the hell is intonation done on this bridge when the bridge is not normal
@@naegleriafowleri2230 each string is controlled by a separate identical movable module.
Amazing!
Very cool. I’d love you to go into more detail on HOW this system works.
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.
Its amazing system, good idea!!
Great info
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.
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 :)
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....
Love that guitar it's beautiful that color is awesome.
Finally I understand what this beast is all about
Wow. That thing's pretty cool.
I have my Luthier install the Evertune on a project RG1570 replacing the Floyd Rose. Love it!
That is an amazing guitar Darrell if you don't mind me saying
Very impressive system.
Way cool guitar!!! Got to check it out!
that is pretty crazy, off to see how it works :)
Next buy👍
Awesome!!!
Some serious smart arse came up with Evertune. It's brilliant. It's blows my mind every time someone explains it to me
I got scared when i saw you holding the guitar by the strings
i did too.
Evidently you've never seen Steve Vai play guitar...:-)
Damn those bridges are sweet
That is some funky mojo!
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
This surely is magic
Or just physics...
Well I need this
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!
Amazing! My jaw dropped when you bent a string and nothing happened!
Can you do alternate tuning with that?
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
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
Of course its gonna work :P no test needed. Evertune always works, its the point of it.
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.
I am leaning more and more towards getting an evertune equipped guitar.
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.
Gretsch are Great, Bit always little problem to stay in tune. Not the same with an Duesenberg. Your solution is great with evertune
Wish I had one that worked on my Tele with the Parsons-White B and G benders. haha
Amazing. But makes me wonder how does it actually work to maintain this tuning stability. How does it actually work?
Evertune on a Gretch...
Awesome!
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.
I had the same problem my friend you need thicker strings 🙌
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.
hey darrel. thanks for video wich pickups would you suggest for this particular electromatic type with bolt on neck, thereby could get a gretschi and defined sound, thanks
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.
Two Questions: Can the guitar be tuned to alternate tunings easily? Is bending a string more difficult?
Ola englund has some videos about setting it up and down tuning on it, those should answer your question
What about in a cold environment like a basement where the guitar usually gets colder than your hands and you start to play it a bit which warms them up (thus needing to tune alot more) ? On evertune it seems like you set it for the plateau it would end up being sharp and maybe warming up slightly but still being sharp, so you would have to set it up in such a way to lose bends?
Hey Bryan could you review the Ibanez LB-1? My local long and McQuade doesn't have one yet and even if it did it's the pandemic.
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.
Cool video. I plan on buying a Schecter Omen Extreme 6 which has a Tune_O-Matic bridge. Is this the same thing?
I just started playing and was wondering if this bridge is compatible with a Washburn Lyon guitar mine always goes out of tune. Would be cool to add this to a cheap guitar
I had no idea you could get a stop tail piece that fits.... its for a Gibson and it fits perfectly on that Gretsch! What else does it fit on? Epiphones?
You said it was pre installed, did you get someone else to do it, and fit it? Did they have to redrill the posts etc?
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?
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.
I would 100 percent never use the non bending setup. How well does it keep in tune in the full articulation mode.
Extremely well in full articulation. Use it my main guitar for 3 years now. It will change your life
Just as well. He said that.
Yeah, that is impressive.
I'm wondering if this would be a real chore for those of us who primarily use different alternate tunings? Any thoughts?
Please Darrell, what is the model number of that Gretchen? I have looked and cannot find it online. It is truly awesome.
Gretsch...not Gretchen....darn autocorrect
Can you do a video with that and locking tuners?
