Thread Name: Sabine Stick On Tuners
Subject: Tuners
One Quick review... played last night and used the Intellitouch... it seems to work o.k. so far, but the end of the head stock is a lousy place for a tuner to sit... It sticks out to the back, right where my hand is when I'm tuning my E, A, and D strings... And well, my hand makes a better door than a window right... So... Gotta get accustomed to that... not a big deal I guess... but just a heads-up for you folks out there...

IF that's the only down side to Intellitouch, I'm gonna have to get a couple of my own soon...

Oh ya... the clamp thingy on the Intellitouch is a little... crampy... Fortunately, I'm moving it with my left hand, the one that has all the strength from years of gripping guitar necks... It'd be great if they could, say, combine the one handed use of the Kyser capo with the electronics of the Intellitouch tuner...

OH YA... another 'adjustment'... you folks who use Kysers and clip 'em to the head stock when not in use? Well, the tuner is there now, so you'll have to find a new place to keep yer Kyser... I'm gonna try to get in the habit of keeping it in my back left pocket... Maybe you folks out there with non-Seagull, wide-as-paddles head stocks have enough room, but the sleek lines of my Seagulls are just to svelte for that much stuff...

I'm starting to feel a little like Batman... I got so much crap on my belt... Change/pick holder, keys, phone sometimes, and now the hard shell case that the Intellitouch lives in... All I need is a length of Kevlar rope and a lightsaber and I could be Luke Skywalker!!
