One more piece on the Van Halen concert last night...

Eddie uses a patented system called the D Tuna on his guitars. The D Tuna allows players with Floyd Rose tremolos to switch between standard tuning and drop D tuning without having to unlock the nut.

If you don't have a Floyd Rose, this is going right over your head I bet !

If you have a Floyd Rose, you're probably thinking, "Schweeet, where can I get one of those!!!"

You can install the D Tuna yourself, so no need to send your guitar off to get the work done.




Here is some info from Musicians Friend on the D Tuna...

EVH D-Tuna Drop D Tuning System This Eddie Van Halen system is designed to adapt to a double-locking tremolo such as a Floyd Rose or Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo. A low-profile, double-locking tremolo may require modification. It attatches to the low-E string saddle-locking screw. Once in place and set, all you have to do is slide the mechanism in for E, out for D.
