Floating trem tuning fix

[Bungholi0]

I'd like to see Ernie Ball come up with a way of changing the tension of all the strings at once.

I cant be the only one that hates hates retuning a floating trem from day to day due to temperature changes.

The mostly happens between summer and winter when the day and night temps can swing quite a lot from day to day.

It means i have to retune every string. And as you know, on a floating trem that means going through the process a number of times.

I think ibanez have a gadget where the springs are. Another I've seen has a type of adjustment built into the trem block.

Any. Food for thought.

I did see a device yesterday that claims to do just that, it's made by Sophia Tremolos, it's called the Global Tuner Pro.

It's not really a trem specific issue- all guitars require retuning when the temperature changes and the strings expand/contract. It's just more annoying on a dual locking trem.

I think it's just part of the deal when you play guitar.

Yep, just part of what a guitar is, no offense but kind of dumb. Just do what is needed to tune it up, kind of like I want something to mow my grass all at once

I am pretty sure what you are looking for would be a tremolo version of the "Evertune" Bridge, which they say had been in development, but I question whether it will ever be a reality. Evertune keeps the strings in tune by a carefully balanced tension maintenance mechanism that takes up a LOT of room. It can adapt to temperature changes, everything, but introducing also being able to float as a tremolo would probably make it the biggest tremolo ever designed. It would make a bigsby look small.

Roundup?

Also, less relevant, but did not they have those self tuning robo-tuners? As I remember very things attempt to do something like that end up being more pain that a solution...

Sorry, did not mean to come off as an A hole, just struck me as strange request
