Interesting new bridge design - Evertune

[Hellbat]

Saw this on my daily surf today. The concept is interesting I guess the proof will be how it behaves with bends and vibrato.

Interesting! It's pretty ugly though.

I saw pics a few days ago. From underneath it doesn't look like it has a lot of mass. It could have the same tone ruining properties as Kahler trems did.

It does look interesting, although IMO it's not bad looking. Maybe in black it'd be better!:idea:

[mustaine-who?]

The guitar looks smoking tho!

So, is this a fixed bridge or a trem?

[Hellbat]

I believe it is a fixed bridge, but the saddles (I think) move to mantain constant string tension.

Yep. I thought the same thing Ron.

Who the fuck has so many problems keeping a decent and decently set-up guitar in tune?

Holy batshit.

Exactly - this bridge is the answer to a question nobody asked. It will only have a chance if it makes a notable difference, if it is simple and easy to install, set up, and imaintain, and if it is backed by someone big, as their website seems to imply.

It looks like a fixed bridge that uses all the springs and routing of a floating trem. If it offers anything less than "never tune your guitar again" functionality i don't think people will bother with a new and more complex system.

Still, most new technology is kind of interesting to watch out for .

That's what I thought; a completely redundant device. Tuning a guitar with a fixed bridge doesn't take that many seconds in the first place.

Plus, imagine trying to do string bends with saddles that give to additional tension; it would be like doing it with a fully floating Floyd. Only worse.

Who comes up with stuff like this? Do they even play the guitar?

FAIL.

[Grandturk]

Wel... Leo didn't play guitar either, and he did OK.

Stupid question, aren't all (unmodified) Floyds fully floating? Or do you mean something else?

No, depending on the guitar, you can setup the guitar for the Floyd to be flush mounted to the face of the body. so you can dive only. I wouldn't consider that a modification like, say blocking the trem... which is still more like a setup option than a "modification" IMO.
