Any thoughts on the best tuner for intonating a guitar? Thanks in advance Steve |

I have a late 60's to early 70's Peterson 400 strobe tuner. It's still more accurate at finding the problems than I am at fixing them. Picked it up about a year ago for $80 at a guitar / archery store in Waco, TX. |

Good score on the strobe tuner! We have one in the shop and use it often but I find my next-generation Peterson VS-1 virtual strobe to be as accurate and a heck of a lot more portable. Haven't tried the newest offerings from Peterson but I bet they're great. |

The TurboTuner is also great, and is at a good price point. Great flexibility, and extremely fast. If you strum across the strings it'll find every note. |

+1 for Peterson! ![]() In both of the shops that I work in my IPhone with Peterson's StroboSoft works great for me. When I first installed StroboSoft on my IPhone David Collins and I calibrated (checked) it against his Peterson bench top unit and they were the same. A day doesn't go by that I don't use my IPhone and Peterson's StroboSoft. The really nice thing about it as far as my own situation is that a couple of days a week I have to pack up a big tool box, Optivisor... ![]() Attachment: DSC03232.jpg I also have one of these from Sonic Research and it's in my tool box too. What I like about it is that the rotating, red user interface is easy to see from some distance. As such when I have my frequent jam sessions here at Heshtone Global headquarters ![]() Peterson's scrolling blocks seems to me to be much easier to get super accurate with than a rotating dial on the Sonic Research but I realize that this is a personal preference thing. They both read exactly the same though so both tuners are very accurate. Attachment: DSC02104.jpg

+one for a strobe tuner, is not it the "gold standard" on which guitars were inotated on? r. |
