I'm looking to get another tuner to take when I play out. I have a clip on but it does not work well on Ovation headstock's.

Thinking about a Sabine AX-2000W but am not that familiar with them. This model sticks to the surface and is removable. Are they accurate? Do they stay put when playing?

Opinions.....

That's an interesting looking device. I don't know about that model. but I have two Sabine STX-1100's and I like them a lot.

Get a Seiko clip, they run in the $30 range. That's what I did and they fit Ovations. I also plug it into a little Seiko chromatic tuner that I think was $60 back whenever I got it.. I've found this to be the best, been through the intellitouches etc.

I have a clip-on also, and it sometimes fails to read one or other string, usually D or G.

So, if I´m thinking of a more demanding situation - other than tunning the guitar before playing in my living room - I use a Boss TU-80, conected to the cable, just before the amp.

I also have a short cable - 1m (~3ft) - that I can use to connect the tuner to the amp. So the tuner sits leisurely on the amp, ready to use.

At home I use a Korg CA-30 Chromatic which works really well. I'll take a look at Seiko.

I've got a Sabine AX-800 tuner, it's a really old model but still works great and is very accurate. I think the first one they came out with that sticks to the guitar body. It stays put and is super easy to remove.
