DROP-SHUTTLE (RBDT1, RBDT2)

DROP-SHUTTLE features



• Patented fin design makes the pitch shift motion very easy. You can shift DROP-SHUTTLE by one finger with grabbing your pick.
  


• By improving the structure, it is possible to make finer pitch adjustment.
  


• Anti-loosening agent is pasted on the adjustment screw, so the adjustment screw won't be loosened by shifting motion.( If there is some detuning after many times of pitch shift, please check the fine tuner bolt of your bridge. There might be some loosenness, so please put some anti loosenning treatment like a little bit of lacquer paint. )
  
• Easy installing
• The body of DROP-SHUTTLE is made by hard stainless steel.
• Made in JAPAN

〈Instruction manual〉

・At first, you need to prevent your guitar's arm up motion by something to avoid string’s going out of tune after pitch shift.(Floating state is NG.)

〈Installation of DROP-SHUTTLE〉
・Remove the string lock screw of 6th or 7th string saddle.　 Install the DROP-SHUTTLE on the saddle by rotating special lock screw and tighten the 6th or 7th string.

・Set the DROP-SHUTTLE to pulled position and set the fine tuning screw to high position. Tune strings. Tune the saddle on which DROP SHUTTLE is set to lower pitch (for example, tune to D, if you want to shift between D and E).


・Lock the locking nut by thigtenning screws.

Push the DROP-SHUTTLE to forward position.


Tune the low string to higher pitch(for example, tune at E, if you want to shift between D and E) . If The pitch is lower , rotate the adjustment screw clockwise. If it is higher, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise.


・If the tuning of the low string becomes out of tune after many shift changes, please check the stiffness of fine-tuning screw of your bridge. In this case, putting a little bit of anti-loosening agent (like lacquer paint) on the screw part will be help.



・When you use ACCU-LOCATOR for intonation adjustment, please remove the DROP-SHUTTLE body and use ACCU-LOCATOR.

A better mouse trap. D tuning at its Best!!

Always used the EVH dtuna on all my guitars. Got away from them and now using the shuttle. Easy to put on and use. Precise tuning with no issues. A great solid product. Will buy a lot more..



Finally! A Great Alternative To That Other Drop Tuner

Mr. Dave

I have been looking for a drop tuner for my Charvel San Dimas. I tried the drop tuner sold by one of the greatest guitarists ever, but it wouldn't fit due to the recessed Floyd Rose routing. I was lucky enough to find the RBDT1. I installed it and what do you know...it fit! It's easy to install and easy to tune. The instruction videos were very easy to follow. I've used it in practice and live show situations. It can take a beating and still work flawlessly. In other words, I trust it. Highly recommended.



　I'm digging this thing so far!

I'm digging this thing. I put this on an original Floyd and I've got it where I can drop it...and I only have to turn the fine tuner just a tiny bit, and it's in tune....with a little bit more tweaking, I'm sure I could get it...but damn...I'm impressed. Look out d-tuna hehe -Also you need know this- I bought the first one, there is a second one for even lower tunings. But I looked at the little chart, and it appears to be correct, because the guitar I installed it on is in Dropped C and that's at the lower register -For any tunings lower than this, I would get the other one ok?.. I hope this helps guys. Cheers



Works easy and works for s Lefty

This works way easier than the EVH Dtuna. It also is the only way to go, for a Lefty
