Tuning and intonation with Dtuner

It actually sounds like more hassle than it is- I do not use one any more as I have moved to 6 string, but I used to use it all the time - and not only tuned to D- I used to go to C# for "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight".....that will tell you how old I am...Yikes! But i digress; the D tuner takes seconds to find the happy medium between the D and E, no problems, and once you have it set, maybe check it before each set- I hardly ever had to do much to it- itwas pretty stable.

I check mine every time I take it out of the case. However, I RARELY have to do any adjustment to it, other than when I change strings. Mine is a GB7 - Gotoh style - attached to a Jazz V MIM Fender. Which means, yeah, it's on a B string dropping to A. And yet, no problems.

Just be diligent; go back and forth between standard and drop until you get both notes in tune. You can follow a "process," and no doubt it's a sound one, but if you let it bog you down you can always "fiddle with it until it works". OTOH, maybe that's what you've BEEN doing, to no avail, who knows. In any case, rest assured that this is not a fad product, nor a bad product. It will serve you very well in time.

 

The ONLY problem i EVER have is that mine will go slightly SHARP when retuning to E.

However experince as a guitarist makes me yank on the string as soon as i change and all is well.

 

did you know, going from e to d is not that hard to do. it's just the quick turn of the peg.
