1. BENDING Once the saddle is in Zone 2 and the string is in tune it is time to set the bend sensitivity Tighten the tuning peg at the headstock while plucking the string until the note goes sharp Then loosen the tuning peg until the note drops right back into tune The point at which the note drops right back into tune is the transition point between Zone 2 and outside of Zone 2 SHARP INTUNE Zone 3 a Bendstop e Zone 2 Sweetspot Maximum Bend Sensitivity At this point the string bends and tremolos like a conventional guitar except that the note will always stay in tune after the bend This point is maximum bend sensitivity Loosen the tuning peg about an eighth of a turn from the boundary where the note goes sharp and we come to a point where bends still happen fast and the intonation and tuning are preserved even with heavy picking intensity and hard finger pressure This is great for people who detune their strings or vary their picking intensity and finger pressure and want to still be perfectly in tune and intonated SHARP INTUNE Zone 3 l rd Bendstop amp Zone 2 Sweetspot Fast Bends Maximum Intonation BENDING CONTINUED Two half turns of the tuning peg back from the boundary where the note goes sharp is the middle of the sweet spot Here even bending is balanced out by EverTune This is great for rhythm guitar and studio overdubs and tracks with layering of multiple guitar parts becau2. key counterclockwise To move the saddle down turn the hex key clockwise IMPORTANT NOTE After every action adjustment we have to re adjust the saddle back into the playing position in Zone 2 Every action adjustment moves the saddle which can move the saddle to a different point in Zone 2 and it can even move it out of Zone 2 Once the action is adjusted we should also re intonate Action adjustment is great with EverTune because it is so easy to do and can be done while the string is at full tension and the string will stay in tune To see a more in depth look at action adjustment check out our link from this page evertune com setupfaq MORE INFO For more info please check out evertune com setupfaq We will constantly be updating this page Also contact us at any time at info evertune com with any feedback and questions And now get ready for an insane experience a guitar that stays exactly the way it s set up under all conditions CONTACT Email info evertune com Web www evertune com EVERTUNE KONG oo e
3. THE SAME STRING GAUGE When changing strings each string goes through one of the string holes on the back of the guitar comes up behind the saddle then wraps around the tuning peg at the headstock as normal Then simply put each saddle in Zone 2 using the tuning pegs and check the tune When the new strings are the same string gauge the guitar should be in tune some strings may need slight adjustment because of small variations of string size in manufacturing CHANGING GAUGES AND ALTERNATE TUNINGS EverTune saddles can be set to tensions from 10 28 pounds 4 5 to 12 6KG Which means they can usually handle 009 sets to 011 sets and 012 sets with normal bottoms as opposed to heavy bottoms in standard tuning For higher and lower tensions custom saddles are available to order at EverTune com Please check out evertune com setupfaq for a table showing string sizes scale lengths and tunings CAUTION Please note if the hex key becomes hard to turn STOP TURNING IT the tuners may have reached the end of their range So if this happens please contact us at info evertune com We will respond promptly When changing string gauges and Tunings the saddle tension usually has to be adjusted a lot To go from E to drop D for example will take 15 20 half turns of the hex key If the string s pitch stops changing when we are turning the hex key up or down a lot to change the pitch then the saddle has moved out
4. EverTune is inactive here When we enter Zone 2 the pitch of the note stays constant and EverTune is active here When we keep tightening the tuning peg we will eventually leave Zone 2 and the pitch of the note will start rising again EverTune is only active in Zone 2 so make sure every saddle is active in Zone 2 before tuning and playing To see more on Zone 2 and The EverTune system check out evertune com setupfaq TUNING WITH EVERTUNE Note On a guitar with EverTune ALL the tuning is done with the EverTune hex key at the bridge The tuning pegs at the headstock are only used to put each saddle into Zone 2 and to adjust each saddle s position for optimal bend sensitivity Dy EverTune Tuning To tune a string put the saddle in Zone 2 and then use the EverTune hex key to adjust the tension of the saddle Insert the EverTune hex key into the tuning hole and then turn it clockwise to increase the pitch and counterclockwise to decrease the pitch Always remove the key before checking the tune Tuning Holes Action Holes S SS jS gt Ss Intonation Holes NOTE The EverTune hex key is a standard 2 5mm hex key available at all hardware stores cent VVALUE A Every 15 cents adjustment on a tuner is about one half turn of the hex key Please check out our Tuning page from evertune com setupfaq for more info CHANGING STRINGS USING

6. of Zone 2 As an example to tune the Low E string down to a C we put the saddle in Zone 2 and then start turning the hex key counterclockwise Before the note reaches C it may stop detuning even though we are still turning the hex key in the tuning hole What happened With this much tension drop the string contracted and the saddle was pulled on the bend stop out of Zone 2 So we now put the saddle back in Zone 2 by loosening the tuning peg at the headstock and then we can keep detuning For a more in depth discussion on tuning topics such as string gauges and large tuning changes see these topics on our page evertune com setupfaq NOTE When going from a higher to a lower string gauge tune the strings to about a half step sharp of the desired note with the tuning pegs at the headstock Then decrease the saddle tension with the hex key in the tuning hole behind the saddle until each string is in tune This will avoid breaking strings by trying to get saddles into Zone 2 when the tension is set too high for the smaller string gauge CHECKING TUNE EverTune holds the string in tune for the life of the string Ina studio environment check the tune once per day Sometimes oxidation rust of the strings can increase their weight which can lower the pitch a few cents This can be adjusted back with a quick check and minor tuning of the saddle s tension This daily check is only necessary in a studio environment where every cent counts
