Free 12 String Guitar Tuner For Sale (2024 Update)

I fitted these on my 'Jim Dandy' – they look good and are better than the original tuners. I think they are a better ratio. No problem with fitting, can recommend.nicknix7

Great quality tuners. My guitar came with gold tuners but the gold was wearing and tarnished. I replaced them with a new set of black and they work and look great on the guitar.Lou

Grover's Rotomatic machine heads are superbly-designed to do one job and do it well – precisely adjust the tuning of guitar strings, and keep them where you put them. These 205C12's are no exception to the rule. I had my luthier install them on my Danelectro Classic 12-string (along with a custom bone nut), and the difference those two mods made to the tunability and sustain of my guitar is compelling. The original, factory Danelectro tuners are chrome-plated, pot-metal crap. They slip contantly. The Grovers, by contrast, stay EXACTLY where I put them. My guitar stays in tune, and adjusting it (for changing humidity and temperature) is quick, easy, and painless. I sure can't say the same for my Dano's factory equipment. Now, admittedly, a lot of the improvement is due to the new, bespoke bone nut. All Danelectro guitars ship with an aluminum nut that is an incredible obstacle to tuning, because of sticktion between the metal strings and the metal nut. (Aluminum, in particular, is a terrible choice for this application, because, like titanium, it galls in metal-on-metal contact applications – which is to say that the two metals tear microscopic chunks out of one another at their point of mutual contact.) The standard, aluminum nut also almost guarantees that you WILL break strings at the nut. The custom bone nut completely eliminates both issues. The Grover tuners add the bonus that the strings stay where you put 'em, once they stretch out. And the 205C12's are RESPONSIVE. Turning them either direction immediately and smoothly changes your strings' tuning. With a 14-1 gear ratio, you can tune VERY precisely. The 205C12's (and their nickel-platec cousins the 205N12's) feature minii buttons, so there's enough room between them to keep you from accidentally knocking a neighboring string out of tune while you're adjusting them. I can't recommend this product highly enough. If you're not sure whether they're going to be an improvement over your guitar's factory tuners, I'm here to tell you that you needn't worry. These are a great upgrade for your axe, and they'll help you fall in love with your guitar all over again.thomst

This modem had less range than my old PK5000 Zyxel modem. Couldn't get a signal at all for parts of the house that had no problem before. I returned it and went back to the older one while I look for another brand.ibpeg

Refurbished modem had a couple minor scratches and a non-standard power cord, but it works perfectly-nearly a year and no problems yet! The phone cable that came with it didn't allow me full speed, but luckily I had another one on hand. I would recommend this–why pay to rent a modem?bank-nicho

Replaced my 5 year old Century Link modem/router with this one. Easy install, no hassles. up and running in 5 minutes. Did not even need to call CL tech support. Much less expensive that buying from Century Link.az_bottles

Just received this and compared it to two different Snark clip ons and two other brands. All were tried on 2 acoustic guitars, 3 different brands of electric guitars, and both acoustic and electric basses. The Korg tuner was by far, the most accurate of the clip on tuners on all six instruments used for testing.More than any other part of the tests I performed, that alone speaks volumes. There are several additional features that are bonuses that give this Korg tuner extra value, in my opinion. First, you have options of full and half displays of strobe tuning. This can be a tremendous value when you have to intonate a guitar or bass. Second, this tuner uses AAA batteries vs. NiCad batteries, which means each battery is less expensive, and replacements are easily accessible from multiple sources. Third, the tuner has an automatic shutoff after 3 minutes of non-use. This is a huge battery life saver that most other tuners in this price range do not offer. Overall, a great value packed into a small clip on tuner. Well done, Korg.Tom T

I love that it uses one "AAA" battery, it clamps on nice and secure, and is very adjustable and easy to read. But, I find that it is so jumpy, (all over the place jumpy), that it's actually kind of frustrating to use. In the quiet of night, outside with just me and my acoustic guitar, it's jumping all over the place. So, it's not any noise interference, but apparently just the way it works. It would probably be fine for a lot of folks, but I've had tuners that are steady as a rock, no matter how noisy the environment. I've also had tuners that act like this one in a noisy environment. This one is jumpy even when it's quiet. If not for that, it would easily be a five star rating from me.Ray

I bought this to use for my electric guitar during jam sessions. I've tuned my guitar, played a few licks, then checked the tuning again and it'll be way off. Some strings are too sharp, others are too flat. I can't find the consistency with this thing. I've compared it to other digital tuners as well as my analog tuner, 2 phone apps, and Logic Pro's built-in tuner. This tuner's results are mostly different than the others. Sometimes it'll be spot on, but I wouldn't trust it for recording in perfect tone.Lance M

Too complex to use. Confusing with inadequate instructions. I have worked in Aero Space quality for 35 years. I know all about effective work instructions. This product and its instructions for use are poor at best.mikepete585

Having been a big fan of the Snark tuners for years, it was a big disappointment to find that it had to be removed from my new guitar in order to put it in its case. This little widget has really saved the day! Because of its ultra-small body, somewhat limited positioning ability and ratchet clamp design, there's only a couple of places this tuner can really mount on the headstock of a Gibson es339 style guitar, but it mounts securely and is easily operated and that is a great thing! Those two positions, by the way, are on either side of the headstock, between the nut and closest tuner key and even then the bulk of the truss rod cover almost makes that not work. But the display rotates a full 360 degrees horizontally, so it's easy to position it for easy reading once in place. As much as I am thrilled to be able to keep a tuner on the headstock while the guitar is in its case again, that's not to say this tuner couldn't benefit from some changes, however. 1- the battery is a pain to remove, 2- the display is almost too small and information is cramped and not very crisp, 3- the ratchet clamp, although secure enough for my needs, might not be in some positions and with more active players. Two BIG Love/Hate issues I have with the Micro Tuner and changes I would make, if it were up to me would be: 1- make the display about 1/4" bigger all the way around. It's compact design makes it both great and troublesome. Just a little bit larger and text could be more readable. 2- Including a metronome is GREAT and its display works a lot better for me than the little beating heart of the Snark, but why wasn't the metronome function button made to be a TAP tempo button? The arrow buttons already default as calibration adjustments for the center reference pitch. The metronome button could have just been made to override the pitch calibration function, instead of to choose between functions. A metronome-on/tap tempo button would just be the icing on the cake here (in my opinion). Overall, great tuner – responsive, accurate, compact and appears to be of good build quality. Worth every penny to me.uptildawnsearlylite

This little tuner is really easy to use and discrete in appearance. I'm by no means a professional musician but getting my guitar and ukulele in tune is important to me. The D'Addario NS Mini is easily transferable between instruments and has excellent adjustability to make sure I get the right note on each. PMT delivered my order very promptly and their site was very easy to navigate and make a purchase from.Richard B.

Literally took this thing out of the package. Clipped it on the guitar neck and started with the 6th string. Strum the string and the Note displays. If its the wrong note, simply tighten or loosen the guitar string till the note shows and its solid blue. Color display is easy to use and shows if your going the wrong way or getting close to being on time. Buy it and stop wondering and use it.rogerpk

The tuner broke off from the clip the first time I used it. A very poor design. The tuner is extremely sensitive andcsojj my sometimes frustrating to tune with.thomas*cornelius

I tried to use this product several times for acoustic guitar tuning. It is not accurate enough for me. The display was not clear enough. I've played Fender guitars for years and have used this type of tuner for 1 year or more. I much prefer Snark tuners. The Fender tuner was not precise enough in tuning. I would have to use the Snark tuner to more finely tune my guitar. The display was also not that bright. I could not discern when proper pitch was reached.duxr9870

I tested it against my strobe tuner and was impressed how close it was, not perfect but neither is my ear. So, I used it for the first time during a recent sound check. Unaffected by background noise it performed flawlessly. My guitar was unplugged so I was dependant upon the green light. Buying a back up! Only a couple drawbacks but overall very handy.trey452

It works great at home when getting ready to record and have the time to check it afterwards. The times I've tried to use it in a live situation, it's ended up being off and more time consuming than just using my floor tuner. I was excited about the "tune up to pitch" function, which is how you should tune your guitar to keep the tension on the string, but it turns out it doesn't work good and just kinda goes back and forth wandering looking for the right pitch. I asked to return the unit after that, and the company said they knew it was wrong and they were working on a new algorithm to fix that, so just hold tight. I decided to keep it for the heck of it, but haven't heard back.itisrocks

The title says it all. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CHARGE THE UNIT BEFORE USING. SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER. 1) Get a firm grip on this tool. The torque the Roadie 2 generates is surprising, and if the unit is not firmly grasped and/or seated on the tuners it will jerk, possibly come off and you start over again. 2) Don't be surprised if, during tuning, Roadie advances to the next string without you knowing about it. That is, if at first you are a bit slow (and one will be until one gets the hang of it) and think you are tuning for a B string and the machine thinks you are ready for the high e. If at any time one hears more winding than necessary for any given string and of course the pitch goes way beyond normal, you are probably doing something similar to the B/high e scenario. Sometimes the Roadie 2 lets one know one is tuning the wrong string when a red light flashes and a "wrong string" warning appears on the string. There is more but I'm out of……MRW

Used these tuners to replace the originals in a 1960s~1970s Japanese Decca 12-string guitar. They fit perfectly. (Be sure that you have enough tuner bushings before you install tuners!) They operate smoothly and stay in tune well.zippystooge

Does the job in a nice,traditional analogue way. The previous versions were heavier, and I'm guessing this version was cheaper to manufacture.lysamp94

I bought this tuner to use in my studio. After one year, it malfuctioned. Try getting anything back from Boss. A VERY high priced tuner for what you get. I bought a korg yaers ago for the road, and it is now in the place of the Boss. I`ll pick up another Korg for the road. I am really unhappy with this tuner and Boss. Their quality has been going down hill for years, and they seem to be making a good living off their former reputation. I`d skip this product and save some bucks in the long run.FernbergBear1953

As soon as I got it I tried it out on a bass, a classical guitar, a banjo, an acoustic, and an electric. All tuned to perfection with no difficulty.JDerf
