Very nice item - the fact that it flips from red to green when in tune speeds up its use onstage. The single best thing about ANY of these headstock tuners is not subjecting the audience to your tuning - the audience doesn't need to and SHOULDN'T hear you tuning. The Planet Waves is also very sensitive - I've been using a seven string for 23 years now, and most of the headstock tuners can't handle it. This one can.

Just received my tuner and I like the way it operates: easy to read, accurate I think and picks up the low E much better than my last tuner - an Intelli.
However, as indicated in the 1 star review already posted by someone else, I'm concerned about it's durability, given those light-duty plastic rings encircling the spring pin. In fact, the first one I received came broken right out of the box right at that spot. I received a replacement today, which so far seems fine.

this tuner is awesome. i have tried several other types of tuners and this one is sooo much better! it's so quick and easy. Within only one or two plucks of each string, i'm there. The display is easy to read and it works great in any environment, bright, dark, loud...doesn't matter and it's so small, i can easily tuck it away for travel. i highly recommend this tuner!
