Evertune on an explorer?

its a YMMV type thing whether taking chunks out of the explorer will affect the tone in a way you notice or not but there's more to it then that, changing bridge types on any guitar will change the sound... just changing saddle material can have a large impact! one thign about floyd type tremelos is that its not so much the removal of wood that brightens the tone of a floyd retrofitted guitar but the way the strings are mounted into all that steel and the way they lock to that metal nut versus sitting ina peice of bone or plastic. There's a whole aftermarket for brass and titanium floyd replacement parts because they bring back some of the tone of the original guitar due to their specific density etc. You will likely find that amssive evertune changes the sound of your guitar but it will likely be a comiantion of factors. Depending on the type of music you play and the gear you use this may or may not be a major issue. If you play a lot of modern metal for isntance you cna probably compensate enough to get an appropriate tone abck... if you play mellower stuff and use old tweed, marshall or vox amps it'll probably be hard tog et your exact tone abck, those amps are going to reveal the differences and the quesiton is whether you're okay with it. But tis not just carving away that wood, its also the bridge amterials and size. The stirngs will resonate in that rbidge differently and the bridge will itneract with teh body differently and every little thing is a factor. If you must have a hyper modern bridge, by all emans go for it... if your guitar holds tune for a few sogns a night and intoantes well, why bother with all that trouble?
