Quatschmacher Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Last time I was at Jon Shuker’s he was telling me about a “self-tuning” bridge that currently exists for guitars and that a bass version was in the design stage. Essentially one tunes the instrument and the bridge senses any changes in string tension and compensates according to maintain stable tuning. I think it might have been the Evertune he was talking about as there’s a page on his website devoted to them.

Didn't Gibson do a Les Paul model with an autotuning system, maybe a Jimmy Page Signature? But it never worked properly? Am I imagining this?

fleabag Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 One person wanted them Our guitarist ( at the time ) bought an LP with that self tuning system. It's amazing to watch the pegs all move on their own. He hated and took them off I guess because they never worked properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 On 17/02/2018 at 13:57, Mikkoantt said: Hi My Ibanez GWB105 (Gary Willis model fretless) have these tuners. This is genius solution to every tuning peg problems. I've got a GWB35 which has the same tuners (same idea anyway) Easy to use, and much less prone to moving if knocked on something. My own thorought on tuners is that they should have higher ratios on the lower strings. B strings can be a pig to tune because it's so sensitive, and if you should knock it it can easily go out by over a semitone. Would there be a case for standard tuners and then micro ajusters, a bit like violins can have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
