N-Tune Onboard Chromatic Tuner

The N-Tune Onboard Chromatic Tuner lets you tune your guitar with a touch of a knob. Once installed into an electric guitar – without permanent modification – N-Tune allows guitarists to pull their volume knob to silently tune up and push it back down to play, thanks to N-Tune’s true bypass design. N-Tune can be installed into almost any electric guitar or bass with passive pickups and is available as a single-coil kit (250k pots) or a humbucker kit (500k pots).

on 09/30/2008 		I have four AxeGlove' for my guitars and they are AWESOME!

Great protection and when you want to play just slip off the neck component and you're ready to go.

An absolutely great value and way to preserve your investment.
