Mine works fine. While it DID say that it would work if you hit all the strings at once, that isn't true. But if you just do one at a time it works great. No, tuning isn't hard. But this is fast, accurate, weighs next to nothing and lets you switch to other tunings very quickly.

I still have mine on a Gibson. I like 'em. I have a hologram of Les Paul waving at me from the deep beyond also.

I bet if Behringer made a functional version at 1/4th or less the price, they would have aged much better

Gibson destroyed a lot of guitars because of them.

That was arguably the single worst idea in the entire history of guitars.

I have one on my 2015 Gibson Les Paul. I don’t use the feature much. Always misses one string.

I heard they were neck snappers

No they did not!🤣 But I feel that, much like Google Glass, it’s a great idea that someone will do better. Joni Mitchell latched onto Parker (I think it was?) so she could play a guitar basically tuned to anything and MIDI patches would do her odd tunings.

If only they realized, 50s technology works quite well with modern processors/modelers
