N-Tune On Board Chromatic Electric Guitar Tuner Fo...
N-Tune is an exceptionally convenient solution for fast, accurate guitar tuning. Whether you're in the studio, on stage, or just practicing, simply pull your guitar's volume knob and use N-Tune's super-bright display to silently tune up in seconds. Then push it back down to play—with perfect tone, thanks to N-Tune's true-bypass design which removes all tuning circuitry from your guitar's signal path.N-Tune is available as an aftermarket kit that can be easily installed into almost any electric guitar. All you need is your existing volume knob and some standard soldering tools. Best of all, no permanent modification of your guitar is required.FAQSo what exactly is N-Tune? N-Tune is the world's most convenient solution for fast, accurate onboard guitar tuning. It installs under your electric guitar's existing volume knob, and provides a bright, LED-based tuning ring with true-bypass circuitry for perfect tone. Using N-Tune, you just pull your volume knob to silently tune up in seconds; then push it back down to play. No lost tuners, no extra cables, no loss of tone, and ultra-quick tuning-ups—
whether you're practicing, in studio or on stage. Technically, N-Tune consists of a switching potentiometer, a wiring harness, plastic display discs, a circuit board, and a battery holder.Will N-Tune work in my guitar? N-Tune is designed to fit in the majority of electric guitars, however some guitar styles or features may prevent or complicate the installation of N-Tune. In deciding whether or not N-Tune is for you, please consider the following:Active pickup systems: N-Tune is currently not supported on guitars with active systems (passive pickups with an active preamp or true active pickups).Hollow-
bodies: N-Tune is typically installed by removing your guitar's control cavity cover or pick guard to access your guitar's electronics. However, on many hollow (and semi-hollow) bodied guitars there is no easy access to the inside of your guitar, which makes installation difficult. In these cases, N-Tune would be installed by removing the bridge pickup and working through a combination of that space and the lower F-hole. If your local guitar tech is comfortable swapping a pot in your hollow-body, he or she can likely install N-Tune as well.SGs and other thin-bodied guitars: Depending on the manufacturer (Gibson, Epiphone, etc), the specific model, and the year, many SGs will be too thin to support an N-Tune installation. In particular, the Gibson branded SGs are often too thin, while Epiphone and other 3rd party SGs are usually thick enough to support N-Tune. If you have an SG or another thin guitar, you can measure the depth inside of the control cavity of your guitar. N-Tune requires 29mm (nearly 1-3/16") of depth to fit in your guitar properly without interfering with the control cavity cover (or pick guard).Les Pauls and other thick-topped guitars: Some guitars are too thick to support the current version of the N-Tune push/pull volume pot (be it because of an especially thick top or a metal "grounding plate"). The N-Tune pot's threaded bushing length is 13mm (distance from pot body to the bottom of the knurl). Once you add the N-Tune and associated hardware, 6.5mm of bushing remains for fitting through your guitar's top. While N-Tune comes with an extra nut that can be used to set the pot depth in the control cavity (to make sure your volume knob does sit up too high), there isn't anything in the box that will add more length to a pot that is too short. So, if your guitar's top is more than 6.5 mm thick, then you may have a problem with the current kit.Fender Stratocaster pickup screw: On Fender Stratocasters, N-Tune partially covers the bottom adjustment screw of the bridge pickup. The N-Tune kit ships with a flat-head screw to replace the existing screw. The hole for pickup adjustment screws is already counter-sunk in most pickguards, but if yours isn'
