Is this the same Rob Arnold from Chimaira??
@@jaymaw6164 Yes it is! Please explore the rest of my channel for tons of cool Chimaira stuff!
Nice!!! 🤘🤘
@@jaymaw6164 🤘
Sweet work as per usual...I tune my guitars to Eb, every string half-a-step down, then I tune the 6th string to drop (Db)
I feel so enlightened every time when I see Rob put out a video like this. I’m so glad he’s doing these type of videos.
👊
Will say that the evertune is a pain in the ass at first but once you get the idea behind it (thanks to Rob!) it truly is easy and freaking awesome! 🤘🏻
🤘
Cant wait to get one. It looks like a pain in the ass to setup for drop tuning, but once it's done, I'm set for life...until I get bored and buy another one.
Looks great man! Thanks for the guidance😊
Excellent video. Thank you for doing this, especially the format you did it. Having it a live setup with your figures up too for the 3 Zones is very helpful for new users. I have a guitar on the way that has one of these and your demonstration has given me plenty of confidence to be able to handle the setup this week. Again, thank you for this contribution to the community.
Hey my pleasure Corey! Glad you found the video useful!🎸
Another very informative video Rob !!! When I finally get my evertune, I will be tuning down a full step so this video was a huge help !!! Looks easy enough to me. As always, THANKS for the content !!! I can't wait to own one !!! 🤘 🤘
Awesome Harry! Yep, piece of cake man! I appreciate you tuning in!
Love your tech videos. Very informative and thorough.
Thanks dude! Glad to hear it!🎸
Perfect video and explanation! I was so confused about the zones and I got nothing by watching other videos, but you explained it so well!
Great man! Happy to hear that and happy to help!
I love this video! I’ve watched it a few times.
You’ve got a great teaching style. Informative without going over my head👍
I LOVE THIS GUITAR!
Mercy…. It’s so cool.
Thanks Rob!👊😍
Haha awesome Todd! I always love hearing when you're stoked man! This guitar is a BEAUTY for sure! The finish is immaculate! 🙌 I appreciate you always tuning in!
Thank for this video Rob I just bought my EC-1000 Evertune and it arrived today, this really helped get the general gist of how to work and Evertune.
Super glad to hear it Ryan! Enjoy your new beauty!🎸
Excellent video, cleared up some confusion I had with my evertune. Thank you!
Happy to hear that man! Thanks for checking it out.
Great demo and explanation. Thank you for doing this!
Glad to hear that!
Very informative video! Just bought an Evertune equipped Solar guitar and this video definitely helped me in setting it up right. Much appreciated!
Super glad to hear it man! 🎸
8 months since getting my guitar with Evertune and I still come back to video for setup refresher. Thanks!
I love that!🎸
I’ve had an evertune for almost two years. Great bridge and works exceptionally well when u get the hang of it, it’s not hard.
This is a damn good video, Rob. Crazy helpful and informative!
Happy to hear it bro!🎸
Always good tips man🤘🏻☺️👊🏼
Bro, i really appreciate you making this vid and showing what your doing all the way through as im about to have an evertune installed on one of guitars.. 👍
Happy to hear it man! I think you'll love your new Evertune!
I love ESP, E-II, and the higher end LTD models. I have one of each at this point and find that they’re super consistent across the lines in build, materials, and feel.
I’ve always shied away from the ET bridges on these because of the bending thing and maintenance fear.
You have done such a great job of explaining how to optimize for these “issues”.
I think I’ll pick one of these up and I’m sure I’ll be referring back to your video! 🤣 🤘🏻
Always appreciate your approach man!
Awesome man! I say they're worth a try! Let us know what you end up going with!
Hey there Rob! Just got myself a guitar with an Evertune, so the algorithm thought your video might help.
I didn't know you were making videos now! Great to see one of my biggest guitar idols of my teenage years doing great. Subscribed!
Awesome dude! Welcome aboard, and congrats on your new axe!
Really helpful video!
Cheers!!!
Happy to hear it! Cheers!
Awesome! Thanks for this. Looking at getting an evertune equipped guitar soon!
Nice!🎸
Very informative explanation of the evertune i was able to understand much better thank you
Glad to hear it!🎸
Your vids are the best Rob.
👊🙏
As a new Evertune-equipped guitar owner, THANK YOU for this video!! It was a lifesaver!
Happy to hear it! 🎸
great demonstration! thank you !
Happy to help!🎸
Brilliant video, very helpful!!
Happy to hear it!🎸
That guitar is gorgeous!!
11:42 all tuned up and ready to rock! Thanks for making this video Rob. I've always been nervous about doing anything with my evertune outside of going from E to drop D with the key, but this gives me the confidence to do a string and tuning change to a lower register. Now I finally understand the relation of the saddles on the evertune and how to adjust them for intonation. With this there's no need for any trust rod adjustment.
Glad to hear it Joe! Riff on!🎸
If you go back and forth from standard to drop and back, set it up for drop and then when you play standard just tune up into zone 3 until you are in standard. The evertune isn't active on the low E but you don't need your Allen key to go back and forth.
Olla had a video demonstrating it.
@@SixString_J5 Interesting!
The tuning in Zone 2 changes when you change strings because the Evertune is tuned to a specific tension, not a specific note. The same tension on two different gauge strings will produce different notes. Thanks for the video! Just getting my first Evertune-equipped guitar and this is helping me remove some of my uncertainty around it.
Same here 👍
Please, does string tension stay same as standard tuning when you down tune ?
@@dekzan Not on the same string gauge. The lower the tuning on a set of strings, the lower the tension. if you want the same tension as E standard in something like C, you will need a heavier string gauge
Thanks for the evertune breakdown bro! I appreciate ya sharing. New to the channel awesome content.
Hey thanks for tuning in man, and welcome aboard!
This video is so helpful I'm picking up a Solar with an evertune soon and even after watching Ola's videos I was a little lost still. One thing I would point out is that when you were working on the intonation for the low string. Evertune does suggest using their calculator on their website to determine if the standard saddled will work for your chosen gauge of string and desired tuning, lower tunings with thicker gauges can fall out of the "sweet spot" and they suggest possibly swapping the saddle out for one of their other versions designed for lower tunings. The nut could also be a factor if the new gauge of string is significantly thicker than the one the nut is filed to.
Anyway this vid earned you a subscribe! Thanks
Hey thanks for tuning in and welcome aboard!
I agree with the information you've shared, and I only learned about the tension calculator after the fact. So you're exactly right, and that's what I'm suggesting to new Evertune users who plan on using heavier gauges and lower tunings. 🎸
Thank you Rob! I might do this to my Solar, It arrived with 9's in E standard but I kind of want to try out 11's in E std. This was very helpful!
Glad to hear it Marco! Good luck bro!🎸
Rob you are a true guitar God! I was in high school when the Chimaira album came out. Ever since I heard that lead you play on Nothing Remains starting at 2:25 I’ve been hooked. At that moment you became my favorite guitarist. You have a truly unique style. Sort of makes me think of a snake charming kind of thing. Anyway, love the channel man. Keep it going.
Ahh man that mean a lot Mark!👊🐍 I appreciate your DVD order too man! Thanks for the support!🤘
100% Rob has a distinctive “sound.” And that is one of the things that makes a good guitarist a GREAT guitarist. Just how a singer with a really noticeable voice stands out.
I remember the first time I listened to the “Undead” album by Six Feet Under. On several of those tracks, I was like, “Yo, this sounds like something Rob Arnold would write.” So I looked up the album info, and sure enough, “All music written by Rob Arnold.” It’s not even the same genre as Chimaira , Elite, etc., but I could still tell it was Robby on my first listen. I honestly don’t think you could say that about a lot of guitarists nowadays.
Amazing video Rob, helpful AF
Hey happy to hear that bro! 🤘
BEST ever tune tutorial on YT!
Thanks dude!
great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Got an EC 1000 BB Evertune coming next week, great to find your video! Last time I owned a guitar was nearly 15 years ago (adulthood sure eats time), and younger me would think this bridge is pure witchcraft. Thanks for the great walkthrough!
Glad to hear that man! I know you're gonna love your EC-1000! 🎸
great video!
Thanks man!
Very informative.. Great video. Cheers
Happy to hear that man!🎸
Thanks so much for this video mate! I've this guitar arriving next Tuesday, but in Snow White with Fishman Fluence pickups in. First Evertune bridge so this is really helpful ahead of it arriving before the studio next week. I've subbed too, great stuff Rob!
Excellent Brad! Glad to hear it and welcome aboard! I know you're going to LOVE your new ltd! Check back in with us and let us know how it feels!🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld Rob, she's the dream! Absolutely in love. Not sure if you've checked out the Fishman Fluence Moderns or not yet, but well worth a look! They sound incredible.
@@Esperandoteband Yeah man! Check out this video when you get a sec! 👉 ua-cam.com/video/OuJST1SuKJo/v-deo.html
This is literally the best video for this Evertune thing to drop tune
Right on! Happy to help!🎸
best video on this topic so far!
Thanks man!
Evertune on 3 guitars. The zone 2/zone3 hump is life. I just yank all my strings off, put new ones on with same gauges and im in tune immediately.
Awesome video man. Might be getting the ESP LTD Viper-1000 Evertune this summer, this video will come in handy. I'm also going to tune it to Drop C
Perfect! That Viper-1000 is KILLER! Let us know if you get it!
@@RobArnoldWorld If my band gets signed this summer, I’ll definitely be able to buy it. I’d be able to put together my dream rig.
@@The_JustJoshing Dude wouldn't that be something?! Best of luck!🤘
Im buying my first Evertune bridge guitar here pretty soon, either the ESP LTD MH-1000 EverTune Candy Apple Red or the Solar E1.6JENSEN MKII. Probably both eventually. But either way this video is a HUGE help. I play in Drop B and A mainly so I’ll be setting those guitars up as soon as I get them.
Awesome dude! That all sounds exciting! Happy to hear you'll be able to put the methods in this video to use! 🎸
Thanks for this. Just got that exact guitar!
Awesome!
I always enjoy robs videos never a let dowm
My man🙏
Currently doing this to an Ibanez RG8 fixed bridge.
Thanks Rob the Heavy Metal community would just be a dark place without musicians like you..
👊
Awesome vid as per usual Rob! Honestly, I can’t see myself buying another guitar that isn’t equipped with an evertune. It’s so fun to play hard, bend the shit out of your strings and stay in tune! Also, the finish on that particular LTD is one of the nicest I’ve seen in that series. Happy Easter brother 🤙
If you use your evertune like Rob in this video, you lose the benefit of always "In Tune", and it would be just as stable as any other hardtail bridge like hipshot or similar.
If you want to really take advantage of all the attributes of the evertune, use your 6 strings in zone 2, and it would make sense there.
@@butcher_0392 I get what your saying and I think if you’re recording rhythms for example, putting it deep in zone two would be great. For everyday jamming though the bend stop is where it’s at for me! It behaves just like a normal bridge in terms of vibrato but stays in perfect tune no matter how hard I palm mute or bend. It’s so nice not to have to constantly stop and tune. Just my thoughts. Do you have an evertune guitar? Is this not the case for you?
@@Namelessforever_
Yes of course that's what I mean, that if you use the evertune in zone 2 that's where you really take advantage of all its benefits.
But if instead you set it for bending and vibrato on all 6 strings, it will work exactly like a hipshot hardtail bridge, and it would be a waste of money.
I have noticed that most buy it or use it to leave it in bending mode and it doesn't make sense.
If your picking attack is strong with evertune set that way the notes will sound sharp anyway, like a common hardtail bridge, and the guitar won't be in tune when you're playing, it will stay in tune when you recheck string by string with your tuner. , but you will lose the whole purpose of the design and what it was created for.
Yeah man! The finish is incredible! And I disagree with @Butcher _ 03 In my experience it is definitely not like having a normal fixed bridge when you're close to zone three.
@@RobArnoldWorld couldn’t agree more Rob! Take me to the land of the bend stop and never let me leave!! 😃🤙
One thing I noticed almost instantly on my first evertune is that the saddles move as you go up or down through zone 2. To nail it on the sweet spot on the edge of 2 and 3 I pull the string up and down and observe the saddle movement as I tighten the tuner. I bring it to the point that the saddle almost doesn't move at all and bam, I'm right where I need to be to be in tune and do string bends.
If this makes sense to you, then you're welcome for the pro tip. 😛
Makes sense!🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld it’s also helpful for when your drummer or bassists won’t quit playing and you wanna make sure you’re in the zone 2/3 sweet spot 😁 as you are now tuning it visually and not tonally
Please, does string tension stay same as standard tuning when you down tune ?
@@dekzan no. When you use the same gauge strings and tune lower, the string tension is lower and you have to re setup your guitar.
@@SixString_J5 Thank you. I thought it would keep same tension on lower tunings. Please, on the other tunematics type of bridges, if you use thicker strings, does it give great string tension ?
very interesting thanks for sharing
Thanks for tuning in!🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld because of your video I was totally confident and bought my first SOLAR with an evertune ! I receive it tomorow A1.6 red blood
Awesome! Congrats man! 🎸@@gaetanmottin1703
Hey, Rob. I haven’t watched or commented in a while. Glad to see you’re still doing these videos. I must admit, I’m slightly intimidated by the evertune bridge. I guess I’m like an old fart who doesn’t know how to use a computer. Lol
Chimaira is still one of my favourite bands of all time!
P.s.
Why don’t more string companies make their six packs with a wound third? I’m sure it’s more common in higher gauge. But I used to buy D’Addario 48-10 or something like that, and they had a wound third option. It’s getting harder and harder to find that.
Hey thanks for tuning in Ali! I can definitely understand the apprehension with the Evertune.
When in doubt, wait it out! Maybe sometime somewhere, down the road, you'll be in the same room with one, and maybe you can look it over and give it a strum, and then see where that takes ya. 🤷🏻♂️
Good question about the wound G! And it's one I can't answer.
For me it was one of those things where the option came in the pack of Blue Steels I liked, and I tried the wound G and preferred it.
But had it of not been an option, I may have never discovered it, and things in the world would still be just fine.
I'm glad I did though!😎🎸
I’m looking at the same guitar right now. I heard mixed opinions on the bridge. But this helped me get prepared. I like the black see thru. But it looks freaking beautiful
Yeah man- let us know if you pull the trigger!🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld definitely thinkin about it. I’m looking at this one and Gibson les Paul tribute
Check out Peterson strobe tuner. It's very precise.
Hey rob any suggestions for locking tuners upgrades for these? Thanks for the awesome set up tutorial!
I love the ESP locking tuners, but I couldn't find anywhere where you could buy them online. However on Amazon, I found some Hipshot ones I like the look of! amzn.to/3RXKWB1
They look similar to the ESP ones, and I trust the Hipshot brand!
I need this series. I think an evertune solves most of my anxiety.
Hell yeah🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld the big plus is. You can use whatever string gauge you want and get the right tension. Oh man
@@erickmazur807 Yeah!
Hey Rob! Can you do a review on the ESP E-II M-1 Candy Apple Red Satin and give us your thoughts? I’ve been looking to splurge and pull the trigger on one, you’re my go-to guy for anything ESP and I’d love to hear your opinion on it 🤘
Man I'd love to! I've yet to check out ANY of the E-II stuff! But unless one falls into my lap I'll have to wait for the opportunity to arise. Hopefully that happens!🎸
Thanks for the video maté awesome 👌 does anyone know the idea behind having to change saddles for different gauge strings???
Thanks dude! If you're using super thick gauges, they recommend switching to higher tension saddles. They have a tension calculator on their website, where you can type in what gauges and what tuning you're using, and it'll tell you which saddles to choose.
flat fret forward. works every time 😉
Nice man! I needed this exact video! #chimairaforever
Excellent!🤘
Hi Rob!
Great videos!
How about a comparison video?
Between a guitar with a normal fixed bridge, and another one with the evertune.
It would be nice to see the diferences, sound wise and tuning stability.
Thanks!
Cheers from Portugal!
If you use your evertune like Rob in this video, you lose the benefit of always "In Tune" and it would be just as stable as any other hardtail bridge like hipshot or similar.
If you want to really take advantage of all the attributes of the evertune, use your 6 strings in zone 2 and it would make sense there.
Thanks César! I'm not exactly sure how I'd make a comparison video like you mentioned, but I will say that I disagree with @Butcher _ 03 . In my experience the Evertune functions as expected when I'm as close to zone three as possible.
Perhaps the butcher could state that "in his experience, he's found etc..." rather than presenting things so definitively.
@@RobArnoldWorld
Hi Rob maybe you didn't understand what I meant.
* What I mean is that if you set your evertune to bending and vibrato, the evertune would have the same stability as a normal hardtail hipshot, since when you hit the strings with a strong picking attack, the notes would be sharp as usual, which you can then check the tuning on each string and you will notice that it is in tune, but when playing it would not always be in tune because the strings bend when you attack it fiercely.
I noticed that with my guitars, and that is what the creators of Evertune themselves say, that in zone 2 it will always be in tune no matter how much bending or strong picking attack you have, but while you adjust the bridge so that it is in vibrato bending mode, it is not like that.
@@butcher_0392 Ok I can't argue with that and thanks for the explanation! But even with the strings sharpening slightly during the specific scenario we're discussing, I still think the overall tuning would be more precise than a hardtail.
But everyone has a right to their own opinion!
Btw for the record, I know I sound like a hardline Evertune defender, but I have no affiliation with them, and I'm not endorsed by them in any way.
I just think it's a cool device that serves a purpose well, in certain situations!🎸
I was surprised, when I went from the factory .009-.042 set in E standard, to a Mammoth Slinky .012-.062 (target was drop Bb), that the new strings by default tuned practically to the exact notes I needed them to be on my Evertune lol. Obviously that is a coincidence and related to string tension vs how the bridge was configured, but it was funny to see. Now I just need to adjust the neck and intonation.
Awesome! And I have videos on truss rod and intonation if you need em'!
Excellent work. Thanks a lot! Your video helps with making a decision on purchasing a guitar with an Evertune bridge or not. BTW I think there is an episode on That Pedal Show all about tuners and why the heck an A isn’t just an A on every tuner. I might be wrong but you may just watch out for that vid.
Sounds interesting! Please drop me a link next time you happen to come across it🤘
@@RobArnoldWorld it was probably that one on Andertons ua-cam.com/video/WWJAdXGwztU/v-deo.html
It is not exactly an entertaining subject. So be warned and be patient. A tip for those struggling with an overly sensitive and fickle tuner: switch to the neck pickup and close the tone pot. Sometimes this method cools your tuner down a bit:)
@@kloudtunes Thanks!
Great stuff Rob! I have to ask, what is that sick tool cart you do all you guitar set-up work on? I've been looking for something similar for ages and haven't found anything close.
Thanks Kyle! Here ya go bro! www.toursupply.com/Ultracase-Tech-Box-p/techbox.htm
Very educational video! Is this a custom set DR? I couldn't find this set on their website. Many thanks!
Thanks Sasha! Yes it's a custom set, but I'm pretty sure you can order a custom set just like it yourself on Drstrings.com!
@@RobArnoldWorld Rob, many thanks!
That guitar is STR8 BUSSIN no cap frfr 🧢
Hell yea Rob! I'm a Drop C 012.-.0.54 Ddddadderioas or however you pronounce that shit 😂😭
Thanks Rob! You don’t find that setting the tuning in a non-playing position (such as on its back) leads to it being slightly sharp due to the temporary neck relief?
Nope! No issues with that. I suppose doing the final touches in the playing position would ensure the utmost accuracy, but honestly I feel the difference is negligible.
Rob this is off topic but im sure you know that Mark filled in vocals for LOG. please Awaken the Beast that is CHIMAIRA. we need you guys.
Yeah! I saw some video and it was very cool!🤘
Great video. Do you feel the EverTune affects the tone of the guitar a little? I've heard a few people say that is one negative about it
Thanks man! No, I haven't noticed anything like that. And I'm not an Evertune ambassador or anything... just a dude who digs em'! 🎸
How are the frets on that LTD? I see in the specs that they are stainless steel, but curious if you put a level on to see if any of them are high or need a bit further crowning. Sounds like your action is pretty low on it, as I am hearing some buzz. Thanks for covering Evertune... they are different, but man, when you get them locked in, oh boy! Not the best thing to have for alt tunings, but that's what my Shuriken is for, really.
I have not done any type of fret analysis. They felt great though!
I’ve been looking at that exact guitar for awhile now. I picked the guitar back up not to long ago so I’m pretty new. I currently have an American Tele and as amazing as it is, i find i play more heavier music. Would it be foolish to trade in my Tele for that same guitar? I know i won’t get that twangy sound the Tele is known for but Ill be gaining that deep metal tone I’m looking for. Thanks for the video!
I'm sure you'd love it if you tried it! Also, if you'd like to maintain the Tele vibe, check out my video on the TE-1000! ua-cam.com/video/CG5O-gDjf4E/v-deo.html
Hey Rob what is the name of that bench case you are working on?
It's called the Ultracase Tech Box! You can find a link to it in my Sweetwater gear list! ➜ My complete gear list: www.robarnoldworld.com/gearlinks
Brilliant! Answered most of my questions. Have a cort kx700 coming with evertune and locking tuners. Coming with 10-46 string set in e standard. Anyone know if the nut will be ok with 11-54 strings in drop C?
Great! And yes, I think you'll be fine! As you saw, I went to drop C with 11-52's, and so that little extra with your .54 shouldn't cause you any issues.
thanks! I'll let you know how I get on@@RobArnoldWorld
What would you say about neck through construction compared to bolt on necks? If the neck through is Indonesian and the bolt on is Korean.
Ltd models
I honestly don't really have an opinion on that. Most of my guitars are neck through, but I have no issues with bolt on's either, of which I have a couple. And as far as origin of manufacture, I have many Korean made guitars, and just one or two Indonesian. Gun to my head, I guess I'd choose Korean made. But I don't have a strong opinion on that either. Sorry!
I also love the little wiggly noises they make when fine tuning lmao
Interesting issue here... I swapped out .009-.042 gauges in e standard for .012-.056 drop c. my strings were also much flatter than i expected, but when i got to G (now F), the tuner showed D#/E. I tried to sharpen to get to F at the saddle, but the screw hit a point where it would no longer sharpen the pitch and the hex key would no longer turn the screw. I havent found any help online for this issue, and was hoping maybe somebody has this same issue and found a fix for it.. thanks! great video
Evertune makes high tension saddles which may be the solution to your issue. They also have a tension calculator on their site, and you can input your gauges and tuning, and they'll recommend the appropriate saddles for your setup. Good luck! 🎸
Amazing video! Quick question for you. Once you get it perfectly tuned and intonated after purchasing, is it necessary to stretch the strings or make any tuning adjustments while changing the strings next time? Will these settings last months/years without the need to make adjustments after tens of cycles of strings?
Thanks dude! I stretch my strings religiously out of habit every time I change strings. Some guys claim it's unnecessary with the Evertune though. I say, it only takes a couple minutes, so better safe than sorry. And yes, in theory, besides that, as long as you maintain the same gauges, no further adjustments should be necessary. And... I have the PERFECT video for you to see this in action! ua-cam.com/video/iAOLaaC-hA8/v-deo.html
@@RobArnoldWorld Super helpful. Only minor tweaks to the C and G, not bad at all. Thanks for the amazing content!
@@kevinlytle3322 Thanks for tuning in!🎸
Can Evertune tune to c standard with their standard tension model? I really want to order the new Ltd TE Evertune but I play mostly low tunings
I think so! Also, I think there's a tension calculator on the Evertune website.
900th like is mine 👍
🤘
i never had any buzz with my evertune until i put a 64 on for my B
What if my evertune guitar is in drop e and I want to go up to drop g sharp, is that possible to do without damage or anything?
I'm slightly confused by your question but I would say yes, you can set it up however you like. However I believe with super low tunings, that typically require higher gauge strings, you may need to switch over to Evertunes high tension saddles. There's a tension calculator on their website, and that should help you determine if you'll be good as is, or if you'll need to swap out your saddles.
the young lady from tesrache i believe diamond rowe tunes crazy low with a evertune with like 10 gauge strings

@@RobArnoldWorld awesome! Stay amazing man!
2 of my sevenstrings have evertunes ☺️ quick question...is it zone 3 for intonation adjustment or zone 2 🤔
Definitely want to be in zone 02 at all times. Did you see my 7 string Evertune video?

It has such an unpleasant sound or fret, it happened to me, I changed the strings to 0.11 - .048 to leave it in standard D and I don't know what to do to remove that fretting to the air... One question, it would not be advisable to carry the saddle tuning halfway before putting on the strings?
I'm sorry, I don't understand your question!
Question..
When drawing influence for Six Feet Under's Undead, which album from the band's catalog did your reference from the most?
Second question..
Ever chief up some sweet Mary Jane with Chris?
Definitely my favorite SFU album, Haunted, along with my favorite Cannibal record, The Bleeding!
And yes! We even spent some time in Amsterdam together! Although I could never keep up with Chris!🤘
Your honesty puts a crackin smile on my face! I had thought you to be more of a Maximum Violence and The wretched Spawn kinda dude and now can totally see a fuller picture. Thank you so much for making my and everyone else's day with your down home approach to providing content and feedback. Much love Rob!
@@nopejohnson1323 Thanks for tuning in bro!👊😎
Hi Rob! Where can I buy this DR set? Do you have a link to it?
Unfortunately they're a custom set! I believe you can order customs sets on DRstrings.com!
@@RobArnoldWorld I sent an email to DR-Strings and got an answer right away, which I then forwarded to my favorite music store.
@@sveetton749 Tell me more! What did they tell you?
@@RobArnoldWorld "Thanks for your email and we have an answer for you on this. The set that Rob orders from us is a custom set made just for him, we do not sell the set as a standard electric set of ours. However, the set can ge special ordered from your favorite store or online service by using this special part #: GHB-11-13-20w-30-42-52. If that set comes through on one of a store’s p.o.’s, we’ll know what to make for you.
Hope that helps some,
The DR Staff"
@@sveetton749 Wow ok! Cool! Thanks for sharing! Now I can share that message with all the dudes who ask me how to get them!🎸
Weird you didnt have to file the nut at all to get the bigger guages to fit properly. Good video regardless!
Yeah! No issues with the nut whatsoever with these gauges.
Have you found a gauge range that works for both standard and drop c?
Yes! Personally, I use 11-52 for everything. But to each their own of course! 🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld awesome thanks for the reply! I was just curious because their string calculator on their website doesn't seem to allow for down tuning and what not without heavier gauged strings... so I was just curious! Thank you!
If I want to change tuning but string gauge calculator not reccommend with my string gauge can I still change my tuting if i don’t want tunning stability? Or will give damage or that system bridge not allow to change if string calculator not reccoment. Sorry for my bad english.
I'm sorry man, unfortunately I don't understand your question. Please try again.
I’m trying to ask can we tune our evertune bridge to every tuning without string or saddle change? If we can will be cause any damage or problem?
@@gokhanayvazoglu6295 Yes! As long as it's not too drastic. Like if you wanted to drop from E, all the way down to something like A, you'd probably want to try some thicker strings.
But I say whatever your situation, just give it a try and see what happens!🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld I don’t have any everbridge guitar but I’m curious about. Will be cause any damage If I go out from zone 2 with tuning pegs with same gauge string like E to B or will be chaos any think?
Don't forget to check your strings that they can actually achieve the tuning you want with the standard saddles
What does this mean?
@@matthewmp111 Say you want to tune your 52 gauge string to a drop F#...it won't actually make it that low while staging "in the zone" on a standard tension saddle. You would need to move to a 74 gauge for good tension and being "in the zone" for example.
@@chugmarks ahhhhhhh I see. I think lol
The string buzz during intonation drives me nuts. Have you learned just to live with it to a degree?
Honesty man, I think what we're hearing is my microphones being slightly out of sync. I know that sounds crazy, but I ended up losing my main mic about 2/3 thru the recording of the video. And so I had to use camera audio, and process the shit out of it to make it useable. And because my camera audio was recorded at 48k, and my mic audio at 44.1k, over the course of a 30 min video, the audio becomes slightly out of sync over time, and what we're hearing is exaggerated string buzz, that really isn't even an issue.
Kudos for pointing it out though, and yes, it drives me crazy! 😝
I have got a question regarding the nut.You didn't know about the original string gauge but I assume it was a slightly thiner one. I could try a pack of 11 to 52 but I am not comfortable with filing the nut. Are there any issues?
You don't need to file the nut with a 11-52 guage. If you go up to 56 on the low E you need to file the nut though.
@@zomielastaroth4956 Thanks for your reply. Any experience with Fender scale-length guitars and proper string gauges?
@@PeterAltuzzi What do you mean with proper string gauges? I have two evertune guitars and one is a retrofitted ESP Horizon NT II and I use 10-52 for D standard and it works just fine.
@@zomielastaroth4956 Let's say I have got a scale length of 25.5 inches, therefore I would need thicker strings than someone with a longer scale length in general to achieve about the same string tension. I just do not have any experience, since I have never changed my strings, which are set up for E Standard.
I've never filed a nut on any of my guitars, and I've gone as high as a .60. You'll definitely be fine with a .52, and even a .56!
Hey Rob, you sure that g string was good? (Out of the cgc) that saddle went way forward in the intonation. I mean maybe with the evertune the normal look of the saddles being stepped (if u know what I mean) is different, I just noticed that saddled jumped WAY forward. Thanks for the vid man, that def did help me understand the evertune better
I'm not sure man! Everything is seemed fine to me. But I'd have to rewatch that part to see what you mean.
@@RobArnoldWorld ya after u did the f string, and went to g, man it jumped way forward. But sometimes strings intonate weird too you know, so it could be spot on, I just noticed it, and figured I’d tell ya.
@@RobArnoldWorld ya it was right after u tapped it, it went way forward after u checked the zone. Those last 2 strings near the end of vid.

Sweeeeet! Thanks ROB!
from what I understand, sting gauge 9 would get you E standard, 10s would get you D, 11s C and and so on?
Not necessarily... I think gauges are more of a preference. For instance, I prefer 10's in E. If I come across a guitar in E with 9's, I'll over-shoot all of my bends. And this is because they're lighter, and offer less resistance.
And you could use 10's for C, but they'd feel too floppy and thin. So a heavier gauge like 11's in more appropriate, but it's not necessarily a rule of thumb, which I think your question was leaning towards.
It's all about what feels best for you, in whatever tuning you're in. 🎸
@@RobArnoldWorld That's good to know. I was worried that with an evertune i'd be stuck in one tuning forever, which your video proved false and gave me hope. So basically, you can get into zone 2 and tune your guitar as you wish depending on string gauge and a little fine tuning?
Absolutely! And it's not even about the string gauge. You can get into whatever tuning you want with ANY gauge strings... But then you'll want to determine how it feels and plays. Perhaps with whatever tuning you're going for, you'll find that a heavier or lighter gauge strings might feel better than whatever gauge/tuning combination you currently have. But you won't know until you get there.
So determine what tuning you want to be in, set it up, play around on it, then make gauge adjustments from there based on what you think you'd like. But if you do change gauges, you'll then have to set it up again. But that's no big deal, and it should all be worth it in the end after you've come to a spot where everything feels and sounds great!
@@RobArnoldWorld Thank you for the reply and for encouraging me to get the evertune installed on my guitar! I wish you all the best, cheers bud!
