New and Improved String Tension Gauge Calculator

Want a cool tool? Then look no further. The EverTune String Tension Gauge Calculator was already a valuable resource, telling you exactly which saddle module you needed for any given tuning and any given string gauge. But if you go to that part of our site now, you’re in for a mind-blowing EverTune experience.

Rather than calculating one string at a time, the new STGC lets you plug in specs for 6, 7, and 8 strings all at once, instantly delivering the data you need. It also accommodates multiscale bridges. (Did someone say multiscale?)

It also suggests factory string packs from our partner D’Addario, making string selections easy for any tuning.

What if you want to change tunings on the fly? Yep — pick from a deep menu of tuning presets (standard, lowered, drop, double drop, open, and beyond), or transpose everything by a semitone or a full octave, and the app will go with you.

You want more? The new STGC lets you save your go-to preferences — strings, scale, tuning, gauges — so it opens set up your way every time you come back.

You need to check this out, but be warned: It’s addictive. You will play this thing like a video game. Tensions and gauges have never been so intuitive and easy.
