Planet Waves’ new headstock tuner clips onto any stringed instrument’s headstock or bridge and determines pitch from vibrations. Its super-accurate tuning software is coupled with an ultra-sensitive piezo sensor system that has increased vibration sensitivity and more accurate note registration. And by eliminating the interference of ambient room noise, the headstock tuner ensures pitch information is accurate.
The tuner uses digital needle graphics in tandem with a multicolor backlit display that changes from red to green as notes are brought in tune. Because the tuner is small and lightweight, it’s unobtrusive enough to leave attached to your guitar, giving you fast access to accurate tuning. Now that’s using your headstock.
