I had this perception that tuning a guitar was nothing more than twisting those knobs around, until one fine day, when I had myself and the entire day with an outcome not so melodic. I learned that tuning a guitar manually is not everyoneâs cup of tea, and those like me need something like the CT10 Chromatic Headstock Tuner from Planet Waves.
Though weâve come across lots of guitar tuners in the past as well, this one is really special. Unlike other guitar tuners, the Headstock Tuner determines the accuracy of the tone through the instrumentâs vibrations, rather than banking on the sound. The LED displays the current tuned note, changing color from red to green once youâve got the right pitch. Itâs available for just under $30.
