Evertune help... (stays in tune, but is affected by gravity)

Cederick · Sep 8th 2017

Installed Evertune the other day.

The basic function is flawless, it stays in tune perfectly when I'm just playing, no matter if I do crazy high bends or vibrato.

But for some reason, it's AFFECTED BY GRAVITY, just like a Floyd Rose...

I know this place aint filled with Evertune experts, but it's worth a shot!
Evertune customer service is really slow and comes with weird questions like "do you still have the hex key in the saddle"?

Obviously the neck relief increases as it "bends" forwards when you tilt the guitar, Ceddy.

Is the Evertune supposed to correct this in realtime too?

Cederick · Sep 8th 2017

Yes, Evertune is ABSOLUTELY supposed to prevent that from happening.

On my previous Evertune guitar, I cannot remember having this issue at all.

Now, it's just like a "regular guitar". If I sit down and play, the tuner looks 100% green.
If I stand up, it goes down circa 1 cent on all strings. (a Floyd Rose goes down way more than 1 cent, but still)

Tuning is not constant in Zone 2, but according to Evertune customer support, this is normal and if thats true, I guess I can live with it.
IT's still pretty damn good compared to regular bridge,s hahaha!.

But I'm just so overly picky with stupid shit that doesn't even matter...

Yes that's normal for Evertune. When you first reach zone 2 and tune it up until it's almost in zone 3, for it to act like a regular bridge with vibrato function, the pitch has changed about 10 cent and then you need to to tune it with the hex key for perfect pitch.

I've understood that now
