The Korg Griptune clip on tuner
The Korg Griptune Clip-On Tuner is the latest and most convenient design available today.
The tuner sits behind the headstock snug, and stay there using rubber grips and a spring-pull system. It's compact design allows it to be both discreet and convenient, with its bright, high-contrast LED screen making it very user-friendly. And being a Korg, it still offers class-leading accuracy and precision when tuning up. It does suffer from a lack of modes but as a simple standard tuner it is a good one. A high quality tuner that won't break the bank or weigh you down in the process.

The Korg GA-40 Advance Solo tuner
The GA-40 benefits from having 2 tuning inputs. Using the jack input provides a highly accurate tuning mode, while the microphone offers similar results though not quite on par with the Grover Allman. It's high visibility display is crisp and clear, the functionality is good and there is also a jack output for direct amp connection. Ideal for guitars lay down, it has a folding stand for upright use and won't damage the guitar it's lay on. A very complete tuner.
