Hi Pertrucci,

Tommy is using the Evertune Bridge as well. Have you had handled/set-up one for use for yourself on a regular basis? If so, I'd love to hear more observations.

Like I've said before, for me it's a confidence thing. A true tempered neck and regular bridge will still shift when 100 par lights come up on stage, or new strings stretch. Evertune continually compensates for that. That's the plus. It's about staying in tune regardless of conditions. Not just being in tune once.

There are no trem versions yet... The way it works on bending is that the spring gets and end stop so that after that, the guitar bends like normal. The spring in that case won't interfere with bends at all.

Neat system, but the intonation is far from flawless...

[pertrucci]

Neat system. BUT it will not make your guitar true tempered. You will need a special neck for that. As long as your frets are dead-straight the intervals will always be off... Just search for 'evertune tommy' here on the tube, and you will find a true tempered guitar neck.

If you bend and hold a note will it try to correct it i know with a short bend it works great but in that case does it try to correct the pitch,

Looks better than i'd have imagined on a strat. I'm not going to modify my guitars though.. :)
