There truly is nothing more interesting than playing the same 20+ year old boomer rock songs that every other band does.

If that was what I was interested in you might have a point :P

Summer of 69 is indeed a deep cut.

Cover band in playing-popular-song-liked-by-people* shocker. Never mind what’s in my regular personal rotation.

*that was recorded without evertune…

I just don’t get why some people are so zealous about it - the little intricacies between notes and where tuning or timing aren’t literally pitch/grid- perfect are a huge part of what makes a great performance. Why would you ever want to take that away?

Interesting you mention timing

One thing I enjoy with Evertune is I can keep the original timing without worrying about how I’m going to piece together punch ins / section by section recording.

So I actually get a more natural playing performance, with less or often no editing, in less time.

I don’t use it every time, in fact most recently all the tracking I’ve done has been on regular bridges because I wanted that sound.

But when I do use evertune the recording process is enjoyable, and I find that comes across in the end result.

I’ve often used both normal and Evertune bridges in the same song. Nobody has ever asked me which bridges I’ve used when.

I don’t think it’s as obvious as people think - there’s not no pitch arc otherwise it’d constantly be phasing. It’s just reduced to the point you can play as soft or as hard as you like and it won’t perceptively change the pitch. And you can play awkward chord voicings anywhere on the neck against open strings and it won’t sound sour.

Personally I haven't tried an evertune but I'd really like one for the downtuned stuff. For me there's always a compromise when tuning as to whether you tune to a hard picked note or a soft one or somewhere in the middle and you definitely get tuning discrepancies as a result. I mean I guess people like John Browne solve it by just being full on beast mode all the time but that's not appropriate for out music and is actually really fucking hard to do as well.

The only thing stopping me is its pretty pricy to get a retrofit so at some point will prob try to pick up an existing guitar with one already fitted as it seems like a more cost effective version.

Of course that's just for the musically uninteresting bits.

A used LTD is a solid choice, they’ve got models at a few different scale lengths. I use a .056 low B on my 24.75” EC1000 ET and it works really well.

Iirc you’re a Les Paul fan. If you can find a model with 22 frets that’s closer ergonomically, but be aware on any of the F bridge installs they’ve not got the typical Les Paul back angle. They’re flatter more like a super strat. The 24 fret models move things over towards the neck, like on an SG

The bass version being top routed is very interesting. I wonder if they’ve managed to significantly shorten the spring design vs the current guitar version

Howdy, Stranger!
