Gear Links: Electronic Tuners August 28
OK…so I’ve been slacking a bit with the gear links. My apologies. I promise to step it up! Here are your electronic guitar tuner links.
The musical instruments industry always seems to be a few years behind when it comes to trends, so it’s good to see that we’re catching up.
The past handful of years has seen an insane amount of cool electronics gadgets. It seems that there are two strategies that electronics makers use when designing new products. Either take an existing product and make it smaller, or pack in as many features as possible.
We’ve got manufactures doing both, and I love seeing it. It’s so cool to see that real strobe tuners can now fit into your guitar case (Planet Waves Tru-Strobe Tuner and Sonic Research’s Turbo Tuner) and a regular tuner can fit into your pocket (Seiko’s ST-01 and Fender’s speed-e keychain tuners). The String Master will even tune your guitar for you.
Now we just need a tuner that’ll pour a beer into your mouth in the middle of your solo!
