D-Tuner use with Edge/LoPro - can you use a D-Tuna on an Iba

[bduersch]

Has anybody tried putting a EVH D-Tuna on an Ibanez guitar? I'd assume that it may be difficult/impossible on a lo-pro edge, but does it work on the original edge? (Don't bother answering re: the TRS).

Too much time off work gets me antsy to work on guitar projects... I planned on rewiring just one guitar. Now I'm rewiring 3 guitars and itching for other projects to work on (aside from things like "cleaning the house", and "working on my taxes" ).

Thanks,

Hi bduersch,

I haven't tried it myself but someone I know suggested this

>Just turn your fine tuner sharp, as far as it
>When and if you want to go into
>dropped-D tuning, there is no need to unclamp, just turn the fine tuner up
>all the way and presto, a working man's D-Tuna!!!

Good luck!

The only problem I can see is that the trem rout on Ibanez guitars is not long enough to compensate for the extra length the D-Tuna adds to the locking screw.

Otherwise, I am pretty sure it will work.

If you've got more than one guitar I'd say just tune one of them down to D.

Either way, you will have block out the "float" for it to stay in tune with the d-tune. Preventing the bridge from pulling sharp will do it... glen

I used to have a D-Tuna installed on my 1990 RG570. *Instead of blocking the trem, I used a trem stabilizer (much like a trem setter). *This worked fairly well, but I would always have to make some fine tuning adjustments when switching between concert pitch and dropped-D. *When I decided to lose the trem stabilizer because I did not like how stiff the trem felt with it, I also took off the D-Tuna. *I then went out and bought an AX320H with the Hipshot D-tuner factory installed. *Granted, it's a fixed-bridge guitar, but most of the songs I play that require dropped-D don't really need a whammy bar anyway.

I have an EX350 that has the OFR (Original Floyd Rose) and I use the d-tuna on it. *To keep the trem relatively stable I used a Hipshot Tremsetter. *When it's in standard, the whole thing stays in great tune, but when I drop it to do, the who thing goes sharp a little. *It still sounds ok because the strings are in tune with each other, but in truth it is probably a semitone off everywhere.
