Planet Waves – NS Capo Tuner

I wish I thought of this!
 
Whenever I’m recording a capo’ed acoustic, the tuning always seems to go out within a couple of passes, causing the whole session to pause (while the guitarist rummages around for his tuner that’s halfway across the room while simultaneously losing the mic sweet spot that I just spent 20 minutes dialing in). The bonus to this tuner is that when not in use, it can live on your headstock functioning as a standard piezo guitar tuner.
 
The downside: it costs $55. But that’s not much of a surprise with Planet Waves products; every PW product that I’ve used (including a lot of R&T’s cabling) is build like a tank and well worth the extra bucks.
