Well, I got my new Justice guitar today and the pride Fred takes in his work is abundantly apparent. What a beauty, fit and finish was apparent from the moment I got it off the FedEx truck. My only problem is for the last 8-10 years I've played acoustic instruments almost exclusively and all the tuners I currently own are headstock clip on types with no input to tune an instrument with a pickup. I would really appreciate suggestions for a needle display type tuner. I know a lot of the guys I saw at TSGA show in Dallas used the Peterson Strobo-flip, I have a strobo-clip and have discovered that I prefer a display that uses a needle type display to tell me exactly how many cents I am tuning sharp or flat. Thanks in advance for your input. _________________ Justice Pro Lite 3x5.

The newer BOSS TU-15 is a great tuner with a real needle, and at Guitar Center online, it's on clearance right now for less than $50. On their site, you'll find 2 tabs, By New and Clearance, click the clearance for the better price on a brand new one. No steel presets, but I've never been fond of those anyway. Has a lighted dial, auto-off (the old TU-12 killed batteries any time I forgot to turn the sucker off!), many other good features. _________________ E9 INSTRUCTION

I have the old TU-2/with a wall wart,no batteries to worry about & it's versatile enough to use to tune chromatic,tune 5 string bass & 6 string guitar,it uses RED Green RED or a streaming strobe type light.Just push the corresponding button for the type of tuning you want to use, unfortunately they don't make em' anymore,damn I hate when that happens!!!!
I even use it to"Tuna Fish"!! ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |
