Product Description
The GA-40 is a dedicated, easy-to-operate guitar/bass tuner with automatic pitch detection. In Guitar mode it supports seven-string guitars (7B through 1E), and in Bass mode it supports six-string basses (Low-B and Hi-C). With the precision you expect from KORG, the GA-40 indicates the pitch quickly and accurately. The LCD needle-style display provides both the accuracy of an LCD as well as the easy viewing of a needle indicator, and the display has been enlarged for even better visibility. You can also use the built-in high-sensitivity microphone to tune an acoustic guitar.

Perfect Little Tuner April 3, 2008

Korg makes fantastic tuners. I used the GA-30 a lot before picking up this model. Both are fantastic. If you need your tuner to operate in-line, then this is a great choice. If you don't care that much, or really don't plan on using it in-line, just go for the GA-30. If you want to use a lot of non-standard tuning, I suggest model CA-30 or CA-40, both of which are chromatic tuners. They can tune to any of the 12 pitches across any octave (so far as I can tell). They don't include presets for Guitar or Bass, though, so you need to know which notes to be tuning yourself.
It is cheap enough for you to give it a try.
Guitar tuner March 28, 2008
When I was 8-9 years old I took guitar lessons for several weeks, giving it up because I was never able to tune a guitar. Recently my 11 year old daughter wanted to learn to play the guitar, so I purchased the Korg GA-40 guitar tuner even before I bought a guitar for my daughter. It is so easy to use that I can perfectly tune the guitar within just a couple of minutes (good for me, who stood in awe of the salesman who tuned it by ear in less than 30 seconds). I taught my daughter how to use it, and she can also tune the guitar in just a couple of minutes. She loves to have her younger sister tighten/loosen the strings just so she can practice re-tuning it. This is a very good product for tuning a guitar in a quiet environment; it would not be so useful in an area which had loud noises present.

I don't know how to really tune my guitar properly so I decided to buy this one because it looked good and at a cheap price compared to some of the other ones. Just pluck a string and if it's in tune the needle will point straight up and the light will be green but if the needle is to the left it's flat and if the needle goes to the right then it's sharp and a red light will appear. You can also use this to tune a 7 string guitar, a bass or acoustic guitars which is a plus because I own an electric and an acoustic guitar. It's also small and easy to carry around with you.The first time I used it on my guitars it took a little while because they were both very much out of tune but it was easy to get them in tune and now when I tune them it's easy and fast.
I don't have any experience with other tuners but I do know that this is a good tuner with some good features at a cheap price and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a tuner.

First let me say right off that I'm a beginning guitar player. Everything I've heard and read said that I absolutely needed to learn by playing in tune. So after doing quite a bit of homework (I'm a bit over the top about researching things I buy), I settled on this unit. Now that I've been using it for a couple of months, I can say without hesitation that it was a good purchase. To tune the guitar, you simply pick each string (EADGBE - Eddie Ate Dynamite Good-Bye Eddie) and watch the gauge. Tighten or loosen the stings until the needle lines up perfectly and the green "all's well" light comes on. Very easy to use and small enough to toss in a pocket. Definitely recommended.

As always, please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.
Best deal for the money January 12, 2008

Amazing tuner. Simple digital needle interface leaves no question as to how your guitar sounds, and the lights telling you if it is sharp or flat stand out in the bright sunlight or stage lights. Picks up acoustic guitar as well as electric (either through the mic or cable input, even has a cable output to your amp so you can hear the sounds it is making). Tunes bass, and can be set to tune flat. Great deal.
