Guitar Tuners

acoustic guitar tuner question and stuff .?

i dont know how to tune my guitar and i want an electric guitar tuner , what is the cheapest price you nkow of . Also , can you get them at The Hippie Hut ? My bro broke my skinny string , i think its the E string? idk but where can i get cheap strings , i got a 6 string acoustic guitar .

Your question firstly said "acoustic" but you want an "electric" tuner. There is no difference at all.
I have three Gibson guitars …. 1 acoustic electric, 1 slim-line acoustic electric, and 1 hard electric. My tuner works for all of them.

Guitar strings are really cheap. I pay NZ$15-00 for mine … probably US$10-00.

Tuners can range in prices. I have two that clamp to the top of the neck, not the plug in ones.

Go to a music shop and check them out … talk to the sales assistant. You would get a better answer because I’m in New Zealand and can’t work out the exchange rate of what they would cost.

You are right … .the "skinny string" is an "E"

Ibanez Package w/GSR-200 Bass & Sound Wave 20 Amp w/Korg GA-30 Tuner Demo

Here’s a gently used Ibanez Bass & Amp “package” for you to check out. I’m throwing in a new Korg GA-30 tuner and a nice cloth wrapped cable. I seriously overplayed and made lots of mistakes and didn’t even think I would keep this “take” as you can tell by my tone of voice in the “thanks for watching” at the end, but it worked and every feature was shown and that’s the purpose here…not how well I can play…so I’ll let it go and let the mistakes show. There are no effects…I’m plugged straight into the amp and there was no editing done afterwards. What you see is what you get. If I forgot anything, just ask…

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Joyful, Peaceful, Prosperous New Year to all! Happy Hanukah to my own family and friends and Happy “whatever holiday it is you might celebrate” to anyone or anything I missed. I am thankful I run my own business and can say what I want to say…what I am led by the Holy Spirit who lives in me to say…we should all be able to celebrate our diversity yet also celebrate and understand what the true meaning of Christmas is…the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ…our (anyone who chooses to believe…John 3:16) Savior.

Thanks for watching and feel free to rate it and leave comments!

Does an ACOUSTIC GUITAR TUNER can also tune electric guitar ? or is it also used for tuning elec guitar ?

Does an ACOUSTIC GUITAR TUNER can also tune electric guitar ? or is it also used for tuning elec guitar ? ( regardless of those " tuning A fork " used in tuning acoustic guitars …lol :P )

A good quality guitar tuner can be used to tune either an electric or acoustic guitar. The notes are still the same.

How do u tune half step down for acoustic guitar with a tuner???


If I understand what you want to do, consider using a bar crimp to temporarily adjust the open strings without completely retuning. You can also check with a good music shop or a good music teacher.

How do you use an electric guitar/bass tuner?

My brother just bought me a guitar cuz I want to learn how to play,
and it’s very very out of tune. He got me an electric guitar/bass tuner, and I have no idea how to use it. I don’t have any friends that play the guitar, so I don’t know anybody that can help me. I also have tried tuning it with the piano, but that just got kind of confusing. If you need to know the notes and cords and stuff for this, I don’t… so PLEASE BE AS SPECIFIC AS YOU CAN, PLEASE!

all you need to do is play the string and the tuner automatically knows what string it is (make sure that it is on the guitar setting). A line will appear and when it is in the middle, the string is in tune. The only problem is that your string can’t be way out of tune or else it wont sense it. Most tuners have reference notes( A humming noise) You need to match the pitch of the humming noise and whatever string it says it is

The skinniest string is e
then B
then G
then D
then A
Then the fattest string is a E

They are also referred to as strings 1,2,3,4,5,and 6
1 being the skinniest and 6 being the fattest

good luck.

I’m looking for a Electric guitar with locking tuners and a Floyd rose tremolo?

Would want it to be lower than $300

If oyu expect a real Floyd Rose on a guitar under $300. I would doubt that unless it is second hand. The Floyd rose cost approximately $200 alone. You have to watch Ibanez because the low priced models like the RG5 come with an "Edge III tremolo bridge" and let me tell you. Its not too reliable as far as tuning is concerned.

The ESP also doesn’t have a real Floyd Rose although it does have locking mechanism. In your price range, get the Jackson JS32 series. Its in your price range and has a better neck than Ibanez and ESP in that price range. It has 24 frets, very fast neck, humbucking pickups etc..

Check the links….your choice :)

yes you usually can tune both guitars with the same tuner

Tuner Install on Warmoth Jazz Bass Project and Telecaster Project

I think a drill press who be the professional way to do this, but figured I would show how I do it. The old carpenter saying of “measure twice and cut once” is magnified to nth degree so it takes some patience. I used a scrap piece of wood to test for the best drill bit size for each screw set. I prefer not to risk cracking the wood, so I make sure the screws will go in with just a small screwdriver. I tighten the Schaller bass tuners down in a symmetrical criss cross style that tightens pressure equally and slowly, and the Planet Wave tuners by tightening the anchor screw moderately than the topside bolt, then back to the anchor screw again to snug everything down gently but firmly.

The latest pedal board setup Sonic Research ST-200 tuner, Effectrode Tube Drive, Empress Vintage Modified Superdelay, Empress Tremolo into the Genz-Benz Black Pearl 30. Guitar was the Warmoth Swamp Ash Strat, with the Seymour Duncan ‘59 in the neck. Music is two go rounds of some 12 bar blues improv kind of thing right after shoveling snow this evening. Now gotta go back outside and do shovel some more. :(
