5.0 out of 5 stars Good tuner... portable, accurate, easy to use, January 26, 2008

First let me say right off that I'm a beginning guitar player. Everything I've heard and read said that I absolutely needed to learn by playing in tune. So after doing quite a bit of homework (I'm a bit over the top about researching things I buy), I settled on this unit. Now that I've been using it for a couple of months, I can say without hesitation that it was a good purchase. To tune the guitar, you simply pick each string (EADGBE - Eddie Ate Dynamite Good-Bye Eddie) and watch the gauge. Tighten or loosen the stings until the needle lines up perfectly and the green "all's well" light comes on. Very easy to use and small enough to toss in a pocket. Definitely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars chicken pot pie, January 31, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I don't know how to really tune my guitar properly so I decided to buy this one because it looked good and at a cheap price compared to some of the other ones. Just pluck a string and if it's in tune the needle will point straight up and the light will be green but if the needle is to the left it's flat and if the needle goes to the right then it's sharp and a red light will appear. You can also use this to tune a 7 string guitar, a bass or acoustic guitars which is a plus because I own an electric and an acoustic guitar. It's also small and easy to carry around with you.The first time I used it on my guitars it took a little while because they were both very much out of tune but it was easy to get them in tune and now when I tune them it's easy and fast.

I don't have any experience with other tuners but I do know that this is a good tuner with some good features at a cheap price and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a tuner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Korg GA40, March 8, 2007
I like the price and what it does. Simple and accurate. Does for me what the more expensive tuners do without the bells and whistles. A little hard to see in a dark room but you should have your instrument already tuned before you play. But in a fairly lighted room it does fine. For the price its a great deal. If you mis-place it, its not that much to replace. Again it does the job at a great price.
