Does anyone know whether this tuner: Intelli Tuner will clip on over the Ovation Headstock "Ears"? My Intellitouch won't reach that far....

I have those in stock, the clip has a depth of around 20mm, so I guess not. I'll take one home tonight and check on one of my guitars. We have a similar tuner from another manufacturer which has a longer clip and will fit on an Ovation headstock

This Intellitouch Tuner clips on to my 1778T OFT. Not at the top of the head stock but just prior to the high e tuner.



Had to use it while the Op Pro was out of action; work very well on a variety of electric guitars as well; check eBay,

PS It provides just enough space to turn the high e knob

Thanks Hobie,

I have one of those but it does get in the way a bit too much for my taste. I also have one of these: Korg AW-1 that does fit over the Ears, but doesn't have a backlight.... :(

Like Hobie I have to use it between the high e and the nut. Works fine there. These are good tuners.

I got the cheapie without the backlight; works fine but I don't gig so lighting is not an issue.

Tim, check this out. The tuner on the left is the Intelli. It will go on to an Ovation headstock, but only securely from the back and in the middle on the headstock. The other Tuner is an unbranded model I found at the Shanghai show. Longer clip, goes on front or back and the clip is long enough (just) to go on sideways over the "ear" Nice easy to read screen, icons in red which turn green when in tune. I have one of these that lives permanently on my squareneck dobro

Seiko makes tuner shaped like the ONO pictured above and it works perfectly on O headstocks. I own it for that reason

This one shows the Seiko clipped to an Ovation.

Thought I would give one a try. The price on Jeff's link was the best I found until an ebay search turned them up as tuners for a saxaphone. Cheap price, cheap shipping...got one coming my way.
