    I have one of these EVH done by Judah Guitars outside of Nashville. Everything works on mine, came with the bridge screws, even the truck reflectors on the back too. It's like a wood tuning fork just like he said... mean sustain with that bridge pickup screwed right into the body.

    It should not be a Floyd Rose special but a EVH branded Floyd Rose which I think is better than the special. Also, it should have come with the screws to eliminate the D tuna.

      I get you there, not a fan of the D-Tuna either as it is not working with my string gauge haha 🤘

    The D-tuna can be adjusted. I own a Wolfgang set up with 0.11s, and mine works perfectly. There’s a very small hex wrench that comes with it for adjustment. Also, in order for the D-tuna to function properly, the tremolo must be “decked” against the body ie not “floating”. Hope this helps.

      The problem is not the 0,11, its the 0.56. The trem was against the body as well. I tried everything and even went on multiple forums. Nothing worked

    Garbage? Well, If that is garbage, I want it !
    BTW on your version, I think they forgot to include that "sticky-wax-glue" on the middle "switch" which Eddie used on his.
    CONGRATS on your new guitar, I have an EVH-Wolfgang Special (Stealth black) but will be buying one of these this year too.

    Add a spring and add more tension by screwing the spring claw in more. That should make it to where you can use the dtuna

    • @jimsgarage4937
      @jimsgarage4937  4 місяці тому +1

      The bridge is sitting on the body, adding a spring wont really help. I tried everything man haha ! I am done trying. But thanks for the reply 🔥🤘

      @@jimsgarage4937 I know it may be sitting on the wood. But when you have heavier strings vs say 9-42 whenever you engage the dtuna the heavier strings has more tension on the scale length and pulls it more. I’ve fixed many by doing this. Sorry you’re having issues. But if you like the guitar I would definitely try it

    • @flatusgamora1661
      @flatusgamora1661 4 місяці тому +1

      You may also try setting it with the fine tuner more open (or "detuned") When the Dtuna sits in ("standard tuning") it's sitting underneath the fine tuner. I've noticed sometimes if I have the fine tuner in the middle or lower position ("tuned up) I can't use the Dtuna properly. Make some more room for it to fit, and you might be able to use it.

    Definitely not garbage Bro. The Frankie is not meant for what you really need it for. It's an affordable copy of Eddie's Frankenstrat and plays great (with Dtuna), with 9-42 strings on it. You can still gig with it. Do you have more than one guitar? I always have a couple guitars in drop d and others in standard tuning. Sound great man! 👍

    Whining about the d tuna!? You are using the wrong strings. You said it yourself. The whole point to this guitar and the features that it has is that it's for sounding like Ed. Not metal. Give it the strings that are ment for it and it will work!😂

      I know pal, I was just hoping that it would work with any string gauge. Nothing was mentionning that this was made for 9-46/10-46 and nobody talk about that. I had to go throught good researches trying to make it work to simply find out it was due to my string gauge being too thick.
