Evertune ? Is it needed for EBMM?

[ScreaminFloyd]

I tune in Standard and a couple of other alternate tunings I like to use. One reason I love EBMM is that tuning on any model is not an issue. Ever. I was wondering if BP and Company have looked into this product Evertune? Maybe I just answered my own question. I also wonder if the Evertune changes the tone of the Guitar. CNN has a video on the device.

well, the way I look at it is: my fingers + an EBMM guitar = eternal tune. No device needed!

umm.. where does the need of tremolo come in?.. he he i think ebmm stays in tune pretty darn well.. even with the trems.. !

Oh dear, not this thing again. It's popping up everywhere the last few days.

From their own website, they say individual strings will stay in tune to within 2 cents flat or sharp over the lifetime of the string, some strings in the first week or two as much as 5 cents. Bizarrely, they claim 5 cents is still in tune! To my ears (and certainly to most other professional musicians) even 2 cents is just not good enough, and 1 cent out will still bother me.

Don't get me wrong, the physicist in me LOVES the idea (it is ingenious) but I can't possibly justify butchering a perfectly good guitar for a system that will still leave me reaching for the tuner buttons.

I gotta agree with DrKev here. I find I have to temper-tune the b string for some songs within the same set anyways......so tuning is always in flux.....the guitar itself - regardless of brand is a wonderfully imperfect design.

Thanks for the thread ScreaminFloyd - this is a good topic (although it seems to have gotten away from your initial question)

Thanks, I just wouldn't want the cutting into the guitar at all. This device must add some weight.
