00:00 Intro
00:17 Not comparing guitars. Only bridges
Fixed Bridge
00:31 Fixed bridge guitars are easy to find
00:50 Large variety of fixed bridges
01:06 Relatively easy to adjust
01:19 String vibration to guitar body
01:29 Biggest con is pitch drift
01:56 Example of pitch drift
02:08 Bridge doesn’t assist tuning stability
02:26 Bridge can require different tools for adjustments
Evertune
03:09 Evertune stays in tune
03:19 Mechanical systems aren’t magic
03:35 Good for recording, especially with distortion
03:49 Example of no pitch drift
03:55 Make sure your string gauge is supported by the bridge system
04:04 Same tool makes all adjustments
04:17 Bend zone configurability
04:31 Bend zone example
04:33 Evertune only comes in one singular form factor
05:06 Hard to find one to try
05:20 Higher string tension in bend zone and how it works
06:01 Complex mechanical systems can get stuck
06:31 Can rob sustain, moreso on 6 string models
06:50 Tool is required for simple tuning
07:09 My choice
07:27 Argument for the other
08:07 Outro and cat says subscribe
Since I have both fixed bridge and Evertune-equipped guitars, I made this video as a resource for anyone looking for more information on either of these. Since Evertunes can be hard to find to try, I tried to answer practical questions and supply unbiased pros and cons even though I prefer one system over the other.
Fixed bridges have been around forever and are commonly found. There are a wide variety of these, from vintage Tele to modern Hipshot. The fixed bridge systems are simple and while they don’t provide any help for things like tuning stability, they also do not hinder anything in any way. They’re simple and allow for fast tuning changes and easy setup.
Evertunes are a relatively new invention and are the next great advancement in tuning stability. They're basically the inverse of a Floyd Rose or other floating tremolo bridge. Instead of one effective spring force pulling against the strings, each string has its own lever and spring system pulling against it, keeping it in equilibrium. After being set up, they completely eliminate pitch drift and any need to tune between recording takes, live sets, or jam sessions. They’re not magic and they do drift out of tune over time, however this time is much longer than that of a fixed bridge system.
Which one is right for you? If you need tuning stability and you don’t have any special feel requirements, the Evertune is the way to go. If you need to change tunings on the fly or simply prefer the feel better, go with the fixed bridge.
What do you think? Are there any points I missed? Comment down below if you have any questions!
