I had always used a lcd needle or LED tuner and never felt I was really in tune. My inital investigation into strobe tuners was "Yikes! Expensive!", but I knew they were much more accurate from my trumpet-playing days in high school band.

I found the Peterson digital strobe tuner for $200 and took the dive. It was well worth it. I would tune my Tele with the LED tuner and then with the Peterson and I was way off, especially the G string. The Peterson is VERY accurate.

It's pretty rugged, has a clearly readable display, and the pass-thru plugs make it perfect - you can unplug it and use it for your acoustic, too, and they even have a clip you can plug in and clip on your acoustic guitar, trumpet, sax, whatever, to get true readings.

I highly recommend it!
