7/18/2023 0 Comments Gibson minitune factory presets![]() I am 100% against these auto tuners being standard on a guitar. Please, feel free to discuss this with me. In fact, I think it's better to either use the system, or to get it off and to buy different (locking) tuners. I have tried manual tuning on my Min-Etune guitars, and it feels really, really weird. Some people like the Kluson tuners, others might prefer locking tuners. But other, more traditional, players will just want a great sounding guitar with no bells and whistles. I'm a guy that likes features like this on a guitar, because it makes my life easier and I like to explore alternate tunings since it's relatively new to me. New technology shouldn't be forced upon customers. ![]() I see that the Min-Etune gets a lot of hate all around the internet, and I think a large part of that has to do with choice, or lack thereof. I prefer to put a strap on, and just stand with the guitar, frankly.Ĭustomers deserve a choice. My SG's neck tends to "dive" a lot, whenever I'm sitting with it. This is mainly noticable on the SG, because its body is a lot lighter than the Les Paul. There are no wires leading up to the neck, which was the case in the past with other guitar that had a similar tuningsystem. Therefore, no holes will be in your guitar after removing the Min-Etune. Very useful.įrom what I have been told, you can remove the whole thing rather easily. Since every song basically meant I needed to tune the guitar, I could do so in a heartbeat. I brought my Gibson Les Paul, and I filled that user-bank with all kinds of the funky tunings that John Rzeznik uses. Recently, a friend asked me along to do a brief gig, during which we played a lot of Goo Goo Dolls songs. I like the fact that you have a complete bank to fill with your own tunings. I will get into this lack of choice later on. But I just try to make the most out of it, since I couldn't buy the guitars without the system to begin with. I view the Min-Etune as a comfort feature, and I use it accordingly. And frankly, I'd much rather strum all the strings and let the Min-ETune system do it for me when I have to go from Standard-E to open-G or DADGAD. Therefore, I am not the best when it comes to tuning. I always relied on a Chromatic Boss pedal for tuning, so I am naturally not great at tuning guitars quickly on the ear alone. Bear in mind, I'm not a professional musician or super skilled. Now, I don't need to have as many guitars.Īs I said before, the Min-Etune allows me to have one guitar and I can play all night or day on it. For instance, Led Zeppelin's Kashmir was always quite difficult for me to do, because I didn't have three guitars. I am more prone to search for songs in certain tunings, versus before when I was more restricted. Now, I am more into alternate tunings then ever. I have always been a massive fan of slide-tunings like open-G and open-E, and I'd have one guitar tuned to that tuning, whilst my main guitar (Strat) was tuned to a standard-E tuning. Therefore, I couldn't play certain songs anymore. Before I bought my Gibsons, I only had a single Fender Stratocaster at one point, thanks to another Fender getting destroyed at a gig. If personally found it opened up options for me to do a lot more songs, because I don't need to have multiple guitars. Min-Etune makes life a lot easier when it comes to alternate tunings. My Gibson guitars are both Standards from this year, so they both have Min-Etune.which I'd like to discuss here. Needless to say, I am very happy with what I got. I thought to myself, "I don't know what Gibson is turning towards, but I need to get my les Paul right here and now." I dislike all the extra bells and whistles of the 2015 guitars, so I made a decision to get the Les Paul (Heritage Cherry Sunburst), as well. Soon after I bought my SG, I started to see the line-up of 2015, and I hated it. Awesome guitar, that just fit me like a glove. I will briefly talk about my Gibson guitars, and then I will into the Min-Etune system.įirst, I bought the briljant SG in the classic Heritage Cherry finish. This is my very first thread, aside from my introduction. I just joined the Gibson forum a few days ago and my English sucks, so bear with me.
