EVH D-Tuna Kit w/Floyd Rose Tremolo
Floyd Rose guru Adam Reiver, who has been working on the tremolos of the stars for almost 20 years, is giving one lucky guitarist the rock star treatment, and your last name doesn’t have to be Van Halen, DeMartini, or Lifeson to enter.
Reiver owns FloydUpgrades.com and D-Tuner (makers of the EVH D-Tuna Drop D Tuning System). He’s throwing in killer products from both companies to turn one of your Floyd Rose-equipped guitars into a serious dive-bombing, finger-tapping tone factory.
This giveaway winner will receive:
- One FloydUpgrades Big Blocks Brass Sustain Block
- One Set of FloydUpgrades Noiseless Springs
- One FloydUpgrades Brass Spring Claw
- One EVH D-Tuna Drop D Tuning System
So, how does one enter this giveaway?
We’re running this one on Facebook only. The short story is that you have to “like” a few pages, then post on your own Facebook wall. Here’s the step-by-step:
Step #1: Like all three of these Facebook pages (you’ll have to be signed in to your account first).
Step #2: Post the following message on your personal Facebook profile:
I just entered to win a FloydUpgrade kit and EVH D-Tuna from “The Official” FloydUpgrades, “The Official” Edward Van Halen D-TUNA, and Musical Instrument Giveaways. You can enter at http://go.gearpipe.com/gx6Voh
The catch, though, is you’ll have to tag all three Facebook pages in your post. Before typing the names of each page, hit the “@” key, then enter the name of the page. The page name will show on a drop-down menu, and will then become a link in your post.
This is the only way we can keep track of who entered, and you must tag all three to qualify.
Step #3: Practice your arpeggios and hope your name is chosen from the virtual hat!
What are the rules?
- The deadline to enter this giveaway is April 11th, 2011, at 11:59:59 PM ET.
- This giveaway is open worldwide!
- You must be 13 years of age or older at the time of your entry.
Can you tell me more about the products?
Sure thing. Here you go!

FloydUpgrades Big Blocks Brass Sustain Block
Tone is selective – period! To the true tone aficionado, tone is almost sacred. Not everybody understands this point but for those of us who do you will know what I am talking about. When a great guitar tone makes the hair on your arm stand up, send a tingle down your spine or (better yet) inspire you to play something that you otherwise wouldn’t have – that puts you in the club of “getting it”!
Odds are, if you are reading this, you are just like me – a tone chaser – a guitar geek who will try anything to get a new sound.

FloydUpgrades Brass Spring Claw
The Brass Tremolo Claw is a tonal monster that replaces the cheap pot metal claw that comes with every tremolo. The signal in your tone chain travels from the string to the saddles to the block to the springs to the CLAW to the claw screw to the body. The weakest link in this chain is the spring claw! Made from the highest grade of bell brass. Use what the pros use!

FloydUpgrades Noiseless Springs
Noiseless Tension Springs use a revolutionary new polymer to eliminate noise through pick-ups. Giving your music a tighter crisper sound. No after noise, echo, or reverb especially on loud volume. Great for studio recording!
Fits Kahler, Floyd Rose and their licensed products. Also fits Fenders.

EVH D-Tuna Drop D Tuning System
The EVH D-Tuna is a unique patented device for the Floyd rose bridge that enables players to drop the E to D and back, in an instant. D-Tuna has been standard equipment on Eddie Van Halen’s personal guitars as well as signature series locking tremolo-equipped guitars since the early 90′s. Since then thousands of D-Tuna’s have been sold all over the world. D-Tuna is proud to be endorsed by many professional players such as Warren DeMartini (RATT), Michael Wilton (Queensryche) and Dave “The Snake” Sabo (Skid Row) just to name a few. Bottom line…It’s simple to use and it works.
- Through midnight, May 27, for each guitar pick sold we will donate one pick to Washington Middle School and the kids of La Habra, CA, through the band Nude.

the tagging thing DOES NOT work….i already “like” all the pages, but i can’t get them to come up in my facebook post no matter what i do
Tried tagging the floyd upgrade site….did NOT work !
Bobby & Bruce…I’ll make a note and enter both of you. Sorry about that!
Facebook is being sketchy with the tagging. I got it to work, I just had to type it myself from scratch. Try that if you have this problem.

Jeremy,
I’ve tried 4 times – I’m obviously not smart enough to figure out the tagging thing.
Oh well, I wouldn’t have won anyway.

Thank God!!!
Yeah, I’m not at all hip to what this tagging thing is supposed to be. I tried, that is all I can say about it. Maybe the step by step instructions need to include examples?
I couldn’t get the tagging thing to work either, please add me to the list as well. Thanks

Cannot tag either, it comes up with numbers and stuff. Only the D-Tuna page tags correctly.

This system is awesome, I need to put this floyd on my washburn electric. I love my washburn, all it needs is a floyd rose tremelo, with drop d tuning and some new pickups. This would put me halfway there!! Good luck and great playing everyone!!!!
Peace is Love Paulie

Tagging the Facebook post is harder than installing a Floyd Rose.
But I GOT IT!!
TAgging fail here too, help a brother.
Sorry Michael, but this contest is over. Check out my Facebook page for current giveaways. http://www.facebook.com/GearGiveaway365

@Posting works the thing is you have to change the post to Public. Not just your Friends! I also put the quote in Quote tags but I seriously doubt that was any help.
Make that @Tagging. This is only the 2nd one I have tagged. I is an expuuurrt now.
