New ESP LTD EC-1000 Evertune – a whole new way of approaching the art & science of keeping guitars in tune. EverTune is an all-mechanical system, with springs in the guitar’s body that provide constant tension to the strings. The result: you not only maintain excellent tuning from day to day, but your guitar’s intonation is amazingly accurate at all points up and down the neck. You don’t have to change your playing style or any degree of expression while remaining in pristine pitch at all times.
With an EverTune-equipped LTD like the EC-1000ET or MH-1000ET, you can be confident that throughout a gruelling gig or a long recording session, your guitar will remain in tune regardless of the temperature and other conditions. Huge string bends? No worries; the strings are under constant tension so that no matter what happens, you can always focus on playing, and not worry about tuning.
