Topic: Tuners & Electro acoustics?

Hiya all,
Am having a problem tuning my Vintage electro acoustic in using a inline Korg tuner, it seems like its not picking up,ave tried a different lead/new battery in both guitar & tuner ( its ok mic wise)
oh its ok inline on my tanglewood semi hollow too.  i usually use a clip on tuner  but thought ad better give it a good tune up

any ideas???

ps: plays fine to a Amp,so i dont think its the pick up?

cheers micky

Re: Tuners & Electro acoustics?

OK, this might sound stupid but do you have the volume up on the guitar?  I've made that mistake before...why the freak isn't this picking up!  Doh!  only to realize it wasn't turned up.  wink  Also, are you plugging in the guitar to the tuner?  You didn't say for sure....again when I'm tuning my Taylor it works best when it's plugged directly into the tuner, volume up!  Hope that helps.  wink

Not sure what the problem is... I've had it happen once or twice myself. It would do fine one day and the next, hardly nothing.   Why use the Korg though? The tuner built in the Zoom A2.1u is more accurate and easier to use IMO.

Re: Tuners & Electro acoustics?

The tuners have mikes to pick up sound so they don't have to be plugged in to tune your guitar. So if it is not working but a new korg they're around $ 15.00 to $20.00 ameican.

Good luck.
