Just acquired one of these and I'm very impressed. If you haven't seen it, the it's a very handy electronic tuner, bright display...but the big thing about it is that it can display the tuning status of all six strings at once. Genius piece of kit. So far haven't gigged it but it worked fine at a rehearsal; Was able to tune accurately and spent a lot less time doing so.
Plus, the switching being "true bypass", I didn't notice any effect upon the guitar tone.
Win/Win situation.
This is it:

Those clip-on headstock tuners even work well for banjos. _________________ lll

Referenced clip on is fast to detect notes on guitar and bass, even low B without problem. . . it's also accurate . . . battery is a disk type. . . _________________ Beware of alliances that are formed by dividing relationships of others.
