Nope, but I hear they are not cheap.

That's for damn sure, I have a family friend who's going to be doing a build for me and soon and I think I may go with an evertune, I'm just a little nervous about that price tag!

Only person I know using it is Ola Englund but I would love to try one one day along with a true temperament neck. I could see it being a huge benefit for a session guy never having to retune or re intonate the guitar.

Just looked at the site. Amazing idea.

I locked that link into my favorites. I was definitely going with a Schaller Hannes bridge on my next build, but now I have to reconsider.

Before NAMM, Wes Hauch from The Faceless sent his VGS guitar up here for some EMTY Blackouts to be installed. The guitar had the Evertune and it was freaky! Straight of the box it was perfectly in tune and it was set so that even when you bent the string it stayed in pitch. We were yanking on the strings and couldn't get it to change and there were no locking tuners or anything like that.

While it's a great concept, If i understood correctly, you can't drastically change tunings on the fly. That would be a deal breaker for me.

You could but if would have to be set up to do it but yea thats why I think it would be great for a session guy or someone who plays a lot of rhythm with no bends or vibrato.

Yes! My band only goes through those 2 "standard" tunings, Drop D and standard.

I'm at the same fork in the road as you buddy. Both bridges are HQ, but the 2 main differences are these:
1) Hannes has graphtech saddles, so this means you will not have the 2k spike that the metal saddles have (EverTune saddles are metal)
2) Hannes is designed to vibrate through the wood. especially the top. If your guitar is using a maple cap, or some type of fancy carved top, then the Hannes will do a better job of incorporating its tone than other bridges do (so they say.) While EverTune is metal on metal on spring.
If you wanted to do whammy tricks or play with 7 strings, I'd go with EverTune. EverTune has a whammy version coming out in about 2 years, and already has a production 7 string model...also, if string separation is your thing, then I'd pair the 7 string model up with SD pegasus pups.
If you play clean usually, and just want a solid bridge that doesn't take much routing and really want the wood to be part of the tone, then go Hannes, and use...'woody' low output pups
Man...I wish there was a middle ground

Hi, I have a google alert set for Evertune because I'm an authorized installer and a huge fan of the technology. I've installed dozens of these over the past few years, many for Evertune endorsers, touring and studio professionals, producers, and whomever wants to stay in tune. It works as advertised by staying in tune under any circumstances, and properly set up, feels completely conventional. You can do a drop-D tuning, but as you de-tune that one string, it goes out of the "sweet spot" and acts conventionally, though all the other strings are still perfectly in tune. Otherwise you can grab the strings and bounce it up and down like a yoyo and it won't go out of tune. It's invasive and expensive, but there's nothing else like it. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have about it.

I have a feeling that the tremolo version, whenever that comes, will be FAR more popular than the "hardtail" one, the reasons being pretty much what 0v3nm4n said. There are alternatives that at the very least appear to stay more true to an instruments' "natural tone".
In a tremolo bridge however you already have a bridge where there's metal-to-metal-to-spring contact, it's a given, thus, there's no trade-off to begin with.
Also, yeah, being a spring-loaded type system I can, from a mechanical standpoint, easily imagine a variation of the current design that basically incorporates a D-tuna into the bridge itself, however I fear any implementation that would be efficient enough would be dangerously close to infringing said products' patent so unless they're willing to pay license fees for it I believe it to be difficult to pull off but they may just surprise us!

Re: Any of you fellas rocking an evertune bridge yet???
I was wondering how the string tension under stress (weather, etc) affects the neck. It seems like whenever the string is about to drift out of tune the springs (lol) spring into action and compensate for the tension gain/loss. I wanted to know..what is the tipping point?

Nothing else like it? Uhm... good ol' Ibanez LOPRO* EDGE, anyone?? I've tossed the guitar around holding it UP IN THE AIR BY WHAMMY BAR ALONE, and not just once neither, over a period of several MONTHS - and I've yet to open the toplocks. Not once since purchase.
Oh, and on the up side? It can also do tremolo. Lol... and TODAY, and every day since the late 80s or early 90s, not "what if/ maybe someday" like that Evertune Trem. Lol.
* - and, presumably, the original Edge as well. Can't vouch for it, though, never having owned a non-LoPro Edge trem.
PS Also please note that seemingly all the shining reviews of Edge trems generally only salivate over Edge Original & LoPro Edge Original, so Your Mileage WILL Vary if you're staring at a 2000's IndoChinese Ibby trem with the Edge moniker. Moral of the story? Buy old Japanese and don't get caught tearing out yer hair and screaming "WTF?!" later.
