Feeling some Evertune GAS....

[Chris]

What's out there for MIJ/USA guitars w/Evertunes around 2k or so? I see lots of E-IIs that I'd buy if not for the stupid logo.

What else should I be looking at?

[Iron1]

Is Solar out? Since they're MII?

[Markus]

Only stock MIJ ones I'm aware of are the E-IIs. However, Evertune themselves sell a few other models with Evertunes (that I assume they install themselves), including Strats and Les Paul Studios.

This one is pretty cool

Does Edwards or Navigator have anything?

Not to be confused with Ola’s Solar Guitars but Sola Custom Guitars recently posted about becoming an authorized Evertune dealer. Have no idea what they charge. They did also just post that they’re moving their business from New Jersey to North Carolina so some downtime is coming.

I’d go the Solar route as well and if I didn’t just buy that bass I’d have an E-type right now. It’s going to be hard for me to reason any spending over $1500 simply because I’d rather just buy the tools and fuck up 10 guitars before making a playable one instead of dropping a bunch of money on just one.

[Chris]

I'll snuggle with Ola any time but Solars aren't for me.

I'd have to play an evertune to see. Every demo I've seen of them, it's a feature set I'd never ask for, but I'm sure it appeals to many guitarists. The mode where you bend the string and it doesn't change pitch would be trippy.

I've never once, ever, played an Indo/Korean guitar that I wanted to own. Nothing against any of the builders, just my experience w/them. Unfortunately these are Indo as well I believe, which is a bummer because a 26.5 scale Evertune'd RGD is a pretty cool idea.

You might find something on Evertune website.

Pretty sure Evertune also offer a service to install one on "any" guitar you'd like. However, seems like sort of a hassle to buy a guitar, ship it to them, etc and who knows if it's cost effective to do so.

EDIT: checked the website: https://www.evertune.com/shop/installation_program.php

This may push me into E-II territory. I will expect all of you to call me out on it if so.

The non-bendy mode is SUCH a trip. I built an Evertune guitar just to see what it's all about. I have to say, it lives up to it's name, that's for sure. I haven't touched the guitar in months and I guarantee it's still in tune.

Buy 3, evertune all of them. More is more!

(Yes, I'm out of useful contributions )

i'll congratulate you for finally moving past your E-II prejudice.

[jim777]

I only ever played one E-II, a black Mystique with a floyd, and it was a very well built instrument. The logo on the headstock is legit ridiculous, but the guitar itself was great and a cool shape as well.

Evertune is badass, I have one of the Solar A1.6 Artist LTD models. I mainly use it for tracking rhythm guitars. Just makes it super simple. It is also the only non US or Japan made guitar I have at the moment, and I wasn't expecting to dig it as much as I do.

There's always ken susi's 6 and 7 string LTD models

I quenched my GAS temporarily by blowing 4 grand on goddamn drums.
