Bridge Buying Guide

Will EverTune fit my guitar?

To see if the EverTune bridge will fit any guitar check the thickness like this:

Measure the thickness of the guitar at the bridge.

Measure the string height at the bridge.

Add the two measurements together and make sure that it is GREATER than 2.1 inches (53mm).

Video Demonstration

If you would like to know more, this video is very helpful:

Other considerations:

There must be solid wood around the bridge area. On 99% of electric guitars this is the case.

What if there isn't enough wood? What are the possible exceptions?

Certain guitars aren't recommended, such as Jazzmasters (not enough wood is removed to fill the hole left by the trem pocket) or Gibson ES330s (nothing solid to which attach the bridge). Chambered guitars are also unsuitable candidates unless you know the chambering is not at a support point.

Which model should I get?

Measure the string height at the bridge:

if it is under 1/2 inch (13mm), then it usually is the F & T model.

if it is over 1/2 inch (13mm), then it is the G model.

  F Model installed in-house on a Fender Jim Root Telecaster.

• 

  G Model installed on Joe Duplantier's personal Charvel San Dimas.

Can I install this myself?

EverTune Template Sets

In the case of routing the pocket manually, we do sell template sets that are complete with all the tools needed for the installation.

Installation Videos

We also provide videos for the F&T model and G model installation.

Guitars with a tremolo pocket

When installing into guitars that had a tremolo, the tremolo pocket usually extends passed the EverTune bridge and will be visible as a hole unless the installer plugs it (preferably with wood from the back of the guitar that would be cut out during the installation).

Guitars with a TOM-style bridge

Please note that when replacing a Tune-O-Matic bridge with an EverTune G model bridge, the original studs and their anchors will have to be pulled and refilled by the installer (using wood extracted from the bridge area during the EverTune install). Some slight installation marks will be visible after installation at the sides of the bridge.

EverTune Installation Program

Otherwise, you can have your bridge installed through our Installation Program.

Meticulously quality controlled and set-up by the people who designed the revolutionary bridge system.

G model long versus G model standard

What's the difference? The only difference between G model standard and G model long is the length of the plate between the dotted blue and red lines.

• 

  G Model standard.

• 

  G Model long.

Pickup Placement and Faceplate Selection: the G model standard is made to come right to the pickup bezel of the bridge pickup of a standard Gibson Les Paul.

Sometimes, especially on Les Paul style guitars made in Asia, the bridge pickup is placed farther away from the bridge. In this case the long should be used so that the faceplate can stretch to the pickup and avoid any gap.

How To Measure: The diagram to the rightbelow shows the measurement for the standard bridge.

To take this measurement, first, we have to find the ideal scale length point and then we have to measure from that point to the start of the bridge pick up bezel.
