"I decided to test out the @evertune bridges in my main guitar for home jamming and practice. It's insane. The one thing I hate the most about guitar is tuning and messing with intonation; tuning and intonation issues slow the mood down, stifle your progress, and eat time. And I'm not just talking about being lazy and not wanting to tune; octaves and chords in differing placements on a guitar waver in intonation and pitch. This bridge solves all of that. I didn't believe it at first, but playing add 9 chords past the 12 fret sound perfectly in tune no matter how hard you tremolo pick. Well done @evertune, well done."
