  • Summary: Planet Waves Guitar Tuner
  • Comment: This little tuner only has one problem: it's size. The only reason that is a problem is when I cannot find it and that is because my son takes it so much to use his guitar. I leave it on the head so I don't misplace it instead. And they are so affordable I bought another for him so he can have his own. I have since ordered one for my nephew in Texas, and I recommended it to three other guitar players this week.

  • Summary: Excellant tuner
  • Comment: I bought this tuner for playing live. I play electric guitar and bass on gigs and use this for both. Maybe I'll still use my pedal tuner only because I may not leave this on the headstock all the time, but it seems to be an accurate tuner. I've used it exclusively at several of my last gigs without a hitch. I can also tune in silence as this tuner senses vibrations on the headstock with your volume knob off. Seems plenty durable and I expect it to last a long time. Where this pedal really shines for me, besides the great low price, is for my acoustic guitar at home. I throw this on the headstock and can tune accurately in any tuning anywhere without plugging in.

  • Summary: Excellent
  • Comment: Small, unobtrusive, accurate, easy to use. Highly recommended -- especially if you play with nylon strings that need frequent tuning.

  • Summary: Planet Waves Chromatic tuner is awesome!
  • Comment: I've always used a Boss Chromatic pedal which is a top notch tuner. However, I've recently wanted to shed some of the weight and physical bulk of "things" I carry to and from the gig. I tried several similar headstock clip-on style tuners including the rather costly Intellitouch, all of which were inadequate for my needs.

    This little tuner ended up being my final choice. It's fantastic! It goes without saying, I absolutely love the little lightweight size. It so small and low profile that I just leave it on my headstock throughout the gig (without exception, I always shy away from devices remaining on my guitar while I'm playing). I've had it for several months now, using it typically 4 or 5 nights a week with no problems to report at all. I'm also still on the original battery that came with the tuner. It's very robust, having lived through several drops on both concrete and wood floors from standing height. It works without a hitch in very loud environments as well. I've used it regularly in noisy pubs with a very loud P.A. in close proximity. It performs great without any cross-talk vibration issues. Very bright and easy to read display both in dark environments as well as bright outdoor gigs. Buttons are great. I play in 442, so I have to bump it up from 440 every time I turn it on which actually is really quick and easy. However, if I were to ask for any changes, I would ask only that it retain it's latest setting when switched off and then back on. But, again, the buttons are super easy and quick.

    This has by far been the best headstock clip-on style tuner I have come across. Excellent design and a great price. I would absolutely, highly recommend it to anyone who has considered any of the points I have mentioned. I hope this helps someone!
