Guitar Tuners

Guitar Tuners are an essential part of any guitarist's setup. They should be used before you play a single note when recording or on stage to make sure each of your strings are in tune as well as being in tune with any other instruments in a band. A guitar tuner is usually in one of two formats: pedal or clip on. Pedal tuners are an excellent choice for anyone already playing with a pedal board setup as it can be easily integrated into your existing setup. A clip on tuner is a great option for those playing at home or for impromptu jam sessions when a pedal isn't available. Many guitarists will have at least one of each.

Whether you play electric, acoustic, bass, or a folk instrument such as mandolin or ukulele, a good quality tuner is well worth investing in. Many come with additional features and can be used to explore a number of alternate tunings. With a variety of bright coloured displays and available across a number of price points from many top brands including BOSS, D'Addario, Peterson and Ordo, we would recommend every guitarist to have a guitar tuner with them wherever their guitar goes.

Guitar strings can very easily drift out of tune for many reasons, including how hard you play, changes in temperature and humidity, or even because of your guitar's design. Having a guitar tuner means you're ready to bring your strings back to the correct pitch when required. Guitar tuners are also helpful when restringing your guitar, so you can quickly tune each string to the correct pitch, and also when intonating your guitar, ensuring your guitar strings remain in tune when you play higher up on the fretboard, not just when playing open chords.

We stock a huge selection of guitar tuners that are designed for different applications, including floor tuners that will mute your guitar's signal when you tune, and clip-on tuners that allow you to tune your guitar without it being plugged in, making them ideal for use with an acoustic guitar.
