Sold a Strandberg yesterday so today I ordered my first Evertune equipped guitar and now I'm watching this while massaging my chest with oil and drinking wine while laughing like a medieval noble.
Sounds about right. 😀
Definitely a learning curve on understanding how it works. I spend all night yesterday understating my ever tune guitar and I am glad I got the hang of it.

Definitely the most significant improvement to guitars since amplification. Always being in tune was the most frustrating part about playing for me. To be able to just pick it up & play it without even wondering if it’s in tune is Heaven.(OK, I will check the tuning once every few months, & usually it is still completely in tune. Maybe one string is a cent off) It Even stays in tune when adding or removing a capo. Now if they could just invent one for the acoustic guitar. And YES it is fantastic for bending & vibrato once you know how to adjust it. Just watch/listen to these killer guitarists in this video. I use only two guitars, main & backup, & they both have Evertune bridges. I wouldn’t own one without it. Cosmo is a genius!!
Oh man! getting mine next month... A marvel of engineering.
He said the bass version and tremolo are coming soon. That would be awesome. Especially bass version can be used on a short scale to compensate for tension.
...and this was recorded in 2020 :(
2:46 lol
Hello guys!!Just ordered a Kiesel with Evertune. Does the bends and vibrato feel natural like other guitars? Do you give extra power/strength in order to make them happen? Thanks a lot
I use Evertune bridges and no, it doesn't take more strength to get bends and vibrato. You can set each string saddle for the amount of lag or hysterisis there is before you bend. My brother sets his so that bends begin instantaneously. I set mine with a bit more lag because I play somewhat ham-fistedly. The effort to bend will be the same. How much you bend to get your note will be dependent on how you set your bridge.
So would having the neck Plek'd have any advantages over all with Evertune?
I would love the answer to that question
Evertune is such a great product. Far superior to the Tune-o-Matic.
Most evertune videos are misleading. If you wind the strings up to the "bend stop" where you can do bends and vibrato, you are effectively disabling "evertune" for that string. What happens is, the saddle is stopped so whenever a string goes sharp, the evertune saddle cant compensate for it. So in that position, if the string were to go sharp because of temperature/humidity/etc then the string will actually be out of tune (sharp). However when in "bend stop" mode, if the string loses tension due to temperature/humidity/etc, it will stay in tune, BUT, the saddle will have moved away from the stop. Now your bends and vibratos are out of wack. You will have to bend harder to first move the saddle toward the stop before it starts bending the pitch up. It's a real pain in the ass.
Evertune is fantastic for guitar parts that don't have bends or vibratos. Yes, I have a guitar with an evertune.
You make some fair points, but let's drill down a little further. When a string is at the Bend Stop, it doesn't "disable" EverTune. Yes, the string can conceivably go sharp due to temperature changes, but in practice that almost never happens, and can be mitigated by keeping the string just a little further back from the Bend Stop. I've personally experienced it exactly once in eight years. That same string will not go flat for any reason, but you're right that it can drift deeper into Zone 2, changing how bends and vibrato react. I don't agree with the assessment that it's "a real pain in the ass," however. I've done gigs in direct sunlight and after confirming that all my strings were set how I like them (just a hair off the bend stop) I made it through the entire gig without needing to adjust anything or change my technique in any noticeable fashion. But you're correct that in order for the system to truly do its job, there will be an almost imperceptible space between a fretted note and the onset of a bend or vibrato. Some players take issue with that. Many more see the benefits of EverTune totally outweighing that trade-off. Thanks for paying such close attention! Hopefully this all makes sense.
False. I’ve never had a problem with Evertune and I can still do all the bends and vibrato I wanna do.
@@mattblackett5863 This. And yeah you have to sometimes check your Zone 2 / Blend placement but never the Tuning, as far as i experienced it.
6 evertune guitars here. Let's be honest, strings rarely go sharp, they typically go flat. All you have to do is keep your string tension right at the sweet spot on the bend stop. When I "tune" that's all I'm really doing is placing the string on that sweet spot. Takes mere moments compared to my band mates and I'm always in tune with great bend authenticity.
