Just got an Intellituner. Brilliant.

Another fine piece of work from Texas.

I don't know much about tuners, except that I have a Boss TU-12 tuner that I use quite often. It was given as a free gift (among other freebies) when I purchased my Martin last year, so I really can't complain. :)

I agree schroeder. I've used intellitouch tuners for several years and have had great success with them.

W2 - you forgot Hizzoner in your list.

I am mighty impressed with the Intellituner. Martin Taylor said it's the best he's ever used. I can see why. My Seiko needle tuner is just as accurate, but no cables, no background noise distraction and always there when you want it. It is such a clever invention.

I have an intellitouch "in-flight" tuner, but I use it on my Les Paul and my SG, it doesn't fit on the headstock of my balladeer!!!

Intelli are Korean, I sell tons of them and they're great. Intellitouch are a whole nother thing. They're good too, but way more expensive. Onboard is the way to go

another vote for peterson.

Or those OLD korg tuners with the meters that could take back flips off the top of double marshall stacks and still continue to work.

I meant Intellitouch. Varifocal lenses require something a tad furhter away than right under my nose - clamped on the headstock is fine by me.

you are just so old school!!

I tried to explain what a tuning fork did to my nephew a couple of weeks ago and realized I have not used one since some time in the 80's I think i have to dig it out and show it to him.

I've got a tuning fork hanging from a lanyard on the wall-mounted rack in my MusicRoom (it's convenient), a Korg something-or-other velcroed to the workbench, and a Boss TU-2 mounted to my pedalboard for gigs. Don't own a guitar w/onboard.

"and a Boss TU-2 mounted to my pedalboard for gigs"

What pedals do you use besides the tuner?

Boss digital A/B switch (to toggle between 6 & 12-string), A.R.T. "Acoustic" multi-effects pedal, Boss "BluesDriver" overdrive pedal (ThankYou, xnoel!), PlanetWaves gangbox (supplies power to above, bi-amped monitor, music stand light and fan).

I used to use a 135 lb. GoldenRetriever "Jack" (he's with the ex, now) but he was tuned down to Eb . . .

So, your ex had to choose between a 135 lb golden retriever and a 175 pound lounge singer? And she chose the dog? Man, I feel for you ...

Cliff,
All I can say is the dog is missing out, but you still have the Llamas.
