| Couple of points.
Just received the True Strobe tuner (loads of dough)and have used it on 2 guitars to test it out.
It's very different to using a normal tuner and it is ridiculously accurate. But the guitars were absolutely in tune all the way up and down the neck after I'd used it. With the onboard tuners I always have to adjust the tuning afterwards - the high octaves are always out. When I checked against the onboard tuner 3 strings on my Custom Legend showed flat and 2 strings on my ute showed flat - flat as in "out of tune" when clearly they were not. The ute 12 should be fun.
Iy's a fantastic piece of equipment and it weighs a ton considering it's size (about half the size of a standard pedal tuner).
There was a product registration card in the box with a web address to use - when I tried to use it the product line on the form offered all the tuners in the Planet Waves catalogue but not the Strobe (hadn't been updated). So I used the "contact us" form and stated the problem. 40 minutes later I got an email back from the head of customer services saying not to worry, if anything ever goes wrong with it we'll take care of it for you.
Excellent - remind you of anybody?
Highly recommended product and company. |

| He charges too much. This thing was expensive but in 3 months will have paid for itself... |

Location: Central Massachusetts | I've been pretty impressed with the Planet Waves S.O.S. strobe-on-string pick tuner. two led's light up the string, you tune until they stop dancing. rotate the dial for the next string. repeat. only works for standard tuning. |
