Quote from Shake-N-Bake :
Wow. You wrote a whole thing on something you completely misread. Lol. I said you can't change TUNINGS on the fly.

It's still relevant even though I missed the on the fly part because you said changing strings is harder. I'd say it's harder in the same sense that tying your shoes is harder than velcroing it and in this instance the evertune is the Velcro.

Changing string gauges is a little more involved but it's not difficult in the least. You use an Allen key.

There are no intonation problems inherent to the system. It's also dead simple, just different.

People should understand what you're getting and it's a slight amount of convenience for $300 not installed. This guitar makes that an easier choice is all

Quote from Shake-N-Bake :
You misread the comment. He didn't say these go out of tune. He's saying these are kind of a pain, and that you should get a guitar that doesn't go out of tune much (which really isn't a thing, but not the point), so that you don't need a guitar with an Evertune that doesn't go out of tune. He was in no way saying this goes out of tune. You seem to misread a lot of things. First this guy's comment, then mine. Not a great track record. Take a little more time before responding to things, rather than getting frustrated with what someone just said and trying to prove them wrong.

That's fair. I did misread that. But the counter to his actual point is that all guitars go out of tune. You play hard, do a lot of bends and don't have lockers? It's going out of tune. You have lockers? Still going out of tune occasionally. You have different humidity's in your home through the year? Travel with it to different climates? It's going out of tune. You ever record an album? You gotta tune up every time and if you forget it's going to get thick in a bad way

Evertune doesn't have any of those issues. Maybe not worth $400+ to get one installed but that's the point of this deal.

Heated discussion aside, I will just say that for any piece of gear (especially more weird/unique gear) it's always worth considering the pros and cons. I think Evertune's great as the benefits you get are awesome, but the two biggest cons I know -- and which I've mentioned -- are that 1, setting it up for different tunings is a bit more tedious (how much more tedious is debatable but it is inarguably more), and 2, string bends can sound/feel weird as the string loses tension and drifts back into zone 2 from zone 3. Third is probably the cost, but that's what this deal offers.

Resource for setting bend sensitivity: https://www.evertune.com/resource...ensitivity

The cool thing about this though is you effectively get to set the point where your pitch shift starts as you bend the string... which is weird to think about as compared to a traditional hardtail where the pitch shift starts as soon as you start bending the string! This may be a pro or a con to you, which is why it's maybe worth at least trying one out before you commit to buying one nod

Another cool albeit less known side effect is that if the string you're playing is squarely in zone 2 you can actually push down on the string saddle itself to achieve a pseudo-vibrato effect, similar to a whammy bar that's only active on the saddles you press down on. Probably hard to use during playing, but it's a nice little trick to know. It works so long as there's distance between the saddle and the bendstop.

Anyways, yeah. I'd say if it's too complex to figure out or set up then Evertune may not be for you. The applications are excellent for recording and live music but for practice and jam sessions maybe less so. There's plenty of other guitars out there much better suited for those.

Just my 2c.

Kx 500 or 700?
If you don't care about Evertune, definitely the KX500. $599 for Fishman Fluence Moderns, staggered locking tuners, 5pc maple/purpleheart neck on a guitar is pretty nuts. Only thing you're missing out on is stainless steel frets but that's a minor thing, unless you prefer the way SS frets feel.

The KX500 should be the more popular deal here, Fluence pickups are really quite neat Big Grin A set of Fluence Modern pickups retail alone for around $270 [sweetwater.com]

Quote from Slickweasels :
NeckIllusions and Inlaystickers.com have you covered with high quality stickers for your fretboard that not only look great and stay on (or come off, if you want), but you can't even feel they are there. There's no reason to say no to an electric guitar or bass simply because it does not have fret inlays. (With my fretless bass, I quickly learned to rely on the side dots to know where I am. That's what the pros do anyway.)

Regarding AutoTune EverTune, I wonder how all the great guitarists of the past (and present) managed at all without it. LOL!

Thanks for the ideas. Can you vouch for them personally? It would solve a minor issue for me on a Kiesel I have that I love dearly (but has no inlays).

I currently have three guitars with it equipped. It's not a must have, but it fits my small windows of playing time better as I can just pickup the guitar and play. Kind of nice, but not a must have.

Masterpiece from South Korea. I love their guitars.

I thought Cort shut down the Korean factories due to unworkable conditions? Aren't all of them made at Cor-Tek in Indo or China & Vietnam now?
