The guitar world has many options to stay in tune but none as cool-looking as the Tunerette. Don’t let the cigarette shape fool you – the Tunerette is a real, professional-grade clip-on guitar tuner with a bright LED screen and a tip that glows red when there’s 20 minutes of life left of its 6-hour charge capacity, giving you time to plug it in via the included USB-C cable (there are no batteries to change). Tested against a legacy-brand standalone tuner, it was not only accurate (+/- .01 cents) but quick to lock in on each string. A nod to the guitar heroes of Rock ’n’ Roll that won’t burn the headstock!
