  • Tuning is only a problem for those who haven’t been playing guitar for very long, and using your fingers to turn the pegs is not something that needs solving. The other problem is that tuning is relative to the other strings, so if change to an alternate tuning you usually have to pass through each string a couple times because of neck tension. As a seasoned guitar player if I would be much more inclined to shell out $299 for Tronical’s solution… much more useful for working guitar players who need to change tuning quickly between songs. http://www.tronical.com

  • I agree with Dan . Only useful for beginners if them. learning to tune and the feel is an important skill for a beginner I think. The tronical solution or Gibsons Mini e tune are much better solutions for a working musician.
