https://www.evertune.com/testimonials/testimonials.php, "To be honest with you, the Evertune system was a bit baffling at first. I was skeptical to say the least.

What I came to learn during the process of tracking guitars for our upcoming album was mind blowing to say the least. Not only does the Evertune system greatly increase the efficiency whilst in the studio, it allows the player to well, just play. That is where this system shines. As a guitar player and song writer, my main concerns are playing well and crafting a well structured piece of music. The Evertune allows just that. It eliminates any and all concerns over tonal issues brought about by tuning and intonation problems. To say that I’m stoked about my Evertunes is an understatement.

If you haven’t tried the Evertune, I strongly encourage you do. You won’t be disappointed."- willie adler
