  • In this video Dagan shows you how to set up and use your Evertune equipped guitar. These little contraptions have been a game changer for studio guitarists and live musicians alike!
    This modern marvel allows your guitar to stay in tune at all times due to the string tension being balanced with a spring sneakily hidden under the bridge, so if you have it set up right your strings will NEVER go out of tune! No matter how hard you try to bend them or whatever climate or humidity your guitar is in!

    10:10 Final Thoughts
    The EverTune Guitar Bridge is a whole new way of approaching the art and science of keeping guitars in tune and intonated. The EverTune is a revolutionary, patented, all-mechanical guitar bridge system that keeps guitars in tune under any conditions. Using nothing but clever physics in combination with a system of springs and levers, EverTune maintains constant tension on each individual string, keeping the guitar in perfect tuning indefinitely.
    Once the bridge is set up to the desired tuning by the user, it will stay in tune regardless of extreme playing techniques, huge bends, heavy picking, or drastic temperature or humidity changes. EverTune accomplishes this while still allowing for subtle, expressive playing techniques such as vibrato and string bending with even greater stability than a standard fixed bridge.
    This gives the player the freedom to focus purely on performing, completely confident that nothing will throw the guitar out of tune.

      @@medonho If you're tracking guitars there are tons of instances where you wouldn't want to bend. If a guitarist has a drop tuning and slams those bottom strings for the energy to ring through, you obviously don't won't the pitch to waver as a result.

    The ability to put 1-2-3 in zone 3 with 4-5-6 zone 2 really gives a player an edge on stage. Anyone ever broke a string during a bend on a Floyd? Yeah then it's time for another guitar really quick to finish the song. All time ya dont have during a show.

    If all the strings are set up to be outside the green zone and therefore bend as normal, will the evertune bridge still help to always keep the guitar in tune? Or does this only apply to strings which are in the green zone? Thanks!

    • @xNachtmahRx
      @xNachtmahRx 9 месяцев назад

      Only in the green zone, but they assure you that even the bend zone stays better in tune than other fixed bridges

    • @MrSterlingsilver79
      @MrSterlingsilver79 7 месяцев назад

      I think it would go out of tune sharp but not flat. If you were bending a lot and you had the saddle all the way up the string might go flat, the saddle would move back to compensate and then subsequent bends would require more bend to reach the same pitch.

  • @MrSterlingsilver79
    @MrSterlingsilver79 7 месяцев назад +1

    So if youre in zone 3 the strings can go out of tune in the sharp direction correct? With this setup the saddle will only compensate for strings going flat correct?

    • @entropy1454
      @entropy1454 2 месяца назад

      No, being in zone 3(or zone 1) at all means your tuning changes in both directions. You must be in zone 2 for any compensation. For it to compensate only for going flat, it has to be at the very end of zone 2, right before it goes into zone 3.

    🤔 If if this technology could be incorporated into a tremolo system you might be on to something. But if you have a standard type bridge guitar how hard is it to tune, Especially with locking tuners. Maybe I'm just too old school to get it.😏

      It eliminates the need for tuning the guitar at all really. And with moving the guitar. Say i take my guitar out of a cold basement upstairs into a warmer room, the guitar stays in tune no matter what temperature the room is

    • @entropy1454
      @entropy1454 2 месяца назад

      Zone 1 is where the strings aren't up to pitch yet, zone 2 is where it is at pitch, zone 3 is when you have exceeded the compensation range, meaning the bridge isn't actually doing anything anymore.

    I like innovation and this is an interesting concept but it seems to me you still are going to be messing with your tuning keys. If your keys are bumped, it can take you away from the edge of zone 2 that allows for expression. Tell me if I'm wrong here...
