Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I KNEW I was smarter than people think. I chose guitar over drums. There is probably a stretched head theory as well but it's no where near as elegant as string theory. |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | Our local music store had one and I bought one last month. It is kind of cool. It works well but you got to get used to it. Best part is it is so small and cheap. Worst part is that you have to dial the note and the printing is pretty small for my 50 year old eyes. Still not many tuners are this much fun and it is dead on once you get the hang of it. Bought one for my son for his birthday last week, younger eyes.

Location: Omaha, NE | Ok, Ovation. Here's what you do...embed these in the top of the guitar, maybe right in front of the bridge, or maybe after the 21st fret on the fingerboard. Then you can just press the "tune me" button: The system "hears" which string is plucked, and activates that string's strobe.
Easy, huh? |

Location: Orange County, California | I got mine last week. It's kinda gimmicky at first but it works well enough. I use it to get me close in a hurry then adjust by ear. The strap is very thin and light. I like it on the 1537 when sitting.
Certainly worth the price for the package. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Well ... the strap is nice and light but the tuner arrived broken. Called fqms. I tried to talk them into letting me have the strap for free but they refused. I then tried to get a planet waves tuning fork instead of a tuner, plus refund my excess money, but they refused. I then tried to get them to send me a korg tuner for the same price, but they insisted I return the strap. But they did say, an alternative is that I could keep the defective tuner and keep the strap! I told him he was funny. He said that's the problem with lost leaders. So ... I'm keeping the strap and exchanging the tuner for a new one. Will let you know how, and if, it works. They'll pay for all shipping costs. |
