I've recently had to play a few gigs outdoors in bright sunlight, and have had issues with tuner visibility. Does anyone know of a mod that will make it reliably visible in direct sunlight? Maybe backlit like those old Indiglo watches? I tried a net search to no avail ... just a bunch of posts about how it's perfect as is and doesn't need any mods. |
