Re: EVH D tuna, questions
OK, you'll let me know what you think about it
If you like it I advice you to listen to the whole album !
About the D Tuna, again you confirm that I will not have any tuning problems by dropping if I use the tremol no,
And in a E position I can use the tremolo without any problem ?

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
To be honest, my tremol-no is installed in an Ibanez with an Edge trem....the EVH does not work with an Edge trem. So I can’t be 100% on that. I believe that it will work but I can’t tell you yes 100%.
I can 100% confirm that it will work with the tremsetter (but no flutter effect).

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
Looking at the picture you posted, yes, the BC Rich trem is recessed and floating, so unless you notch it out like Gtrjunior did, the pull up will be limited. They work much better on trems that are mount flush to the body for dive only, that's how Ed has his set up.

@Gtrjunior Hey knew you'll digg it man, check out their other songs !!
OK I'll forget the tremsetter than. Thanks for your honesty, I'll make more researches then
@devastone Thanks for the confirmation. I'll think more about it before making a decision
I have other questions about the Tremol-no btw, if ever someone knows about these
When it is blocked, I can tune my guitar either half / full step down OR up ? Without any problem with the neck / intonation / action, floyd rose etc ?
If it ever happens after a while that one of my fine tuners is in max position but the string is still not tuned, can I block the floyd with the Tremol-no, tune the guitar from the mechanics, setting all the fine tuners to middle, then relock and release the tremol-no in floating, and that working perfectly without having to reset the floyd ?

EVH D tuna, questions
Wether or not your neck would need adjusting has nothing to do with the tremol-no. In hard tail mode it’s just like any other hard tail....if you loosen the strings a whole step it’s going to affect the neck no matter what. The tremol-no won’t make that not happen.
As far as question 2...short answer is yes.
I think you’re starting to over think this. I think the tremol-no will do what you want it to and it’s only $50. I don’t see how you can lose here.

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
@ Gtrjunior, that Ping Floyd is really nice! Is the logo laser etched into it? Appears to be. I like that look....
Are those still in production I thought they quit making them? I just got rid of a set of Ping tuners yesterday so thats why your trem caught my eye.

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
D Tuna needs to be decked or you will have tuning problems. When you pull the D-tuna out to detune your guitar, the reduction in string pressure causes the bridge to tilt back towards the body a little it. That causes all of the other strings to go sharp. If you are just playing by yourself at home it may not bother you. If you play live with band, the tuning problem will be very noticeable.
I use this little brass thing to stabilize the D-Tuna on my EVH guitar. It goes in the trem spring area on the back of the guitar and presses against the tremolo block. You adjust it tight against the block to keep the bridge from tipping back when you tune to D, and then tweak the trem spring screws just a little tighter so that the bridge doesn't pull up when you tune back to E. It is a bit of pain to set up, but it is cheap and it works great.

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
There are 2 solutions besides blocking the trem.
A tremsetter and the tremol-no. The tremol-no would need to be in hardtail mode though.

It is laser etched actually. I’m not sure if they are in production. It’s what came with the guitar.

True. Ive used both of those in the past. I found both to be a giant pain in the @$$. I just like the little brass thing because its cheap and it works. To each his own though

I had no idea that existed.
Very cool.
I’m assuming it works on a regular Floyd as well as the edge trems?

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
Thanks! Yes, there is one just for Floyds'. The top pic shows one on a Ping Floyd. Here's a demo video on an Ibanez RG but the setup is the same for Floyds' too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfXQvzBKWPU

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
I saw they are available through allparts....are you selling them anywhere else?
If I’m understanding correctly, the actual fine tuner of the Floyd is used to get the final adjustment instead of the tiny allen screw in the EVH tuna?

That's right, no allen keys to fine tune or lose.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfXQvzBKWPU

... and this is why I’d keep one in standard and one in drop D. If I only had one guitar, I’d figure out how to do everything in D.

Re: EVH D tuna, questions
Not sure if you gig....if not I get your logic. If you did, then now you would have to bring an extra guitar...that gets old eventually.
