Planet Waves Mini Headstock Tuner — PW-CT-12
Compact and Highly Accurate
True to its name, the NS Mini Headstock Tuner features a low-profile design that can barely be seen by the audience while the large display can be seen easily by the player. The highly compact design even allows the tuner to be kept on the guitar while stored in its case.
Easy on the Eyes
The easy-to-read, Tri-Color backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, yellow when close, and green when in tune. This allows the player to accurately tune with a quick glance at the display — even on dark stages or in direct sunlight.
Ultimate Versatility
The NS Mini features a 360 degree swivel mechanism that allows the tuner to be equally effective on both left and right-handed guitars while the reversible screen allows mounting on either the front or back of the headstock. These features provide the optimal viewing angle on the widest array of guitars and instruments. The rubberized padded clamp ensures no damage is done to the instrument while in use.
Professional Accuracy without Complications
Featuring just two buttons — power and frequency (430-450 Hz)--the NS Mini is extremely simple to use right out of the box. The included CR2032 battery powers the unit for hours and hours on end. The auto-off function preserves the battery by turning the tuner off after several minutes of no signal.
The powerful software is based on the same software found in the Planet Waves Chromatic Headstock tuner, renowned amongst professionals for its extreme accuracy and ease of use.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Cute, tiny, easy to use, accurate
This is a very small and very unobtrusive tuner. There's a tiny clamp to attach it to the headstock and all that shows on the front of the guitar is an about one inch piece of black plastic.
Pros: Easy to use. Pluck the string. If it's off, the string letter turns up red with bars along the high or low side. Tune in the direction needed until there's one bar on each side of the string name-- like this-- lEl --and the string name turns green--and the E string is in tune. It's fast and easy. I compared it to a high priced clip on tuner and it was dead accurate. I removed the expensive one and left this one on, if that indicates anything.
Only one concern. The 'ratchet' mechanism that opens the thing to grip the headstock is all plastic and felt quite flimsy. There were also no instructions on how to open it properly. I was afraid I would break it putting it on and am still afraid it might not be durable for long.
I'll add to this review if it...

Compact, decent tuner
This is a decent to good little tuner, but there are some drawbacks to it. Also, I have the other Planet Waves Chromatic Headstock Tuner to compare this one to. Here are the pros and cons of this tuner as I see them:
Pros:
- Super compact. Virtually invisible from the front of the guitar.
- Adjustable frequency settings.
- Top load battery. No need to unclip from the headstock to load in a fresh battery.
Cons:
- Awkward in use when not used on a inline six tuning peg headstock. I have a Gibson Les Paul and this tuner is awkward to use with it.
- Less gradation in setting than other tuners. The gradiation bars are thicker and fewer in number, giving less of a sense of how close you are to a perfect tuning.
Debatable:
- Clip mechanism: Not spring loaded. This means that this unit is really designed to stay clipped to your guitar.
- One...
Detects Pitch Well, But Could Be Friendlier to Use
The NS Mini chromatic headstock tuner quickly recognized twelve pitches across a multi-octave range of electric bass, guitar and mandolin. The accidentals appear as sharps or flats toggled using the alternate functions of the frequency button.
The tuner's view window is slightly larger than a Chiclet but brightness and resolution are fine for dimly-lit spaces. One thing that's less than ideal is the charcoal color of the tuner itself. If you've ever dropped stuff on dark stages you know what I mean. I'd wager the back of most headstocks skew to lighter tones than darker, so if discretion is what the manufacturer is emphasizing, a lighter color may work better.
The notes appear red when out of tune; their color changes to green as a `rough marker'. You then continue fine tuning using the vertical bars that appear on both sides of the note. They've gone to lengths to make the tuner stage-friendly, but I'd much prefer the green color mean ` fine tuned and done'...
