Korg AW2G Clip-on Chromatic Guitar Tuner

Korg AW2G Clip-on Chromatic Guitar Tuner
The AW-1 was a top--selling model that has been popular with musicians of wide-ranging genres for its superb functionality and convenience. The new AW-2 Chromatic Tuner enhances this basic concept by adding the flexibility of an adjustable angle for the display section, enhanced visibility from the built-in backlight, and improved fit to your instrument, allowing the performer to tune in a natural position. The new AW-2G adds a clip that's optimized for a Guitar. With the AW-2/AW-2G, you'll be ready for stress-free tuning in any situations. The tuner display section and the clip section are connected by a double ball joint that provides a broader range of left/right/up/down movement, dramatically increasing the range of adjustment. Even in cases where it was difficult to view the AW1, the AW2 makes it easy to adjust the display section for easy viewing, allowing you to tune in a natural position.

Excellent Tuner, Great Display,

Over the years I've gotten, and used, about 6 different electronic tuners and this one beats them all for tuning 6 and 12 string as well as a Mandolin. It is very light and small, making it easy to carry and so light you could leave it clipped on a guitar while you played it.
The back light can be set to on or off, in case you don't want an audience to be distracted, I suppose, from other performers while you re-string or just check the tuning.
It can also be re-calibrated high or low by amounts of 1 cycle per second (up to its limit), and I find the display is very informative and easy to use. When the correct tuning is reached, the lines go from only on line to three, making it very easy get "right on."
It is really great for a 12 string, which can be difficult to tune with any other tuner. I've now bought two (one for me, one for the wife), and we both love them, preferring them to several other tuners, including another Korg or two.
Finally, it's great on battery life (remember to turn it off after using), and the batteries are probably the most common lithium batteries and can be found anywhere.

great tuner!

I've been playing guitar for a few years now, and had three different tuners; this one is by far the best. I received it as a gift, and I was a bit nervous at fist because I wasn't sure it would work, but it works wonderfully. I love the fact that background noise doesn't interfere with the tuning, because I often play in an extremely noisy environment. This is one of my most treasured possessions and I highly recommend it.
