“Why put a tuner onboard your guitar? Because stompbox tuners compromise your tone, hand held tuners are easy to lose or break, and clip-on tuners, well… they just plain suck.” This gadget, called the N-Tune Onboard True Bypass Chromatic Tuner is a device that attaches to your guitar’s volume knob. Simply pull your guitar’s volume knob and use the super-bright display and tune your guitar in seconds. Then when you want to play, simply push the knob back down. The website claims that “the device removes all tuning circuity from your guitar’s signal path” I don’t play the guitar, but it seems to me it would be a very convenient way to tune your guitar, if it works as is claimed. On the website, there are testimonials from bands such as EverClear. The gadget is now available in a wide range of new guitars, and is also available as after market. In order to install it, all you need is your existing volume knob, and some standard soldering tools. Best of all, no permanent modification of your guitar is required! It comes in both the Fender style package, and the Gibson style package.
