Default Electronic guitar tuning devices
Could anyone recommend a decent, relatively cheap electronic guitar tuner?

Thanks

Can't recommend a stand alone unit but if you are in the studio then: AP Tuner. I've been using it for years. It's awesome.

I use a Korg one that I bought at BMs ages ago, pretty good and it also does Bass, and can play a sound for tuning acoustics.

Can't remember the price, but it was definately under £20, not the cheapest but it'll do you for ages.

They're all much of a muchness. They all become inaccurate over time. Don't spend too much, and make sure they test it to a tuning fork before leaving the shop.

Just get a tuning fork, repeated exposure to it makes it way, way, easier to play stuff by ear

Hell, you don't even need a tuning fork.
