I received a new Fishman FT-2 yesterday- ordered it earlier in the week, so kudos to the USPS and as always, Sweetwater's packaging is above reproach-

The tuner itself, was $14.95- it's owners manual, (a small piece of paper) says it has a built in piezo sensor.

Verbatim words from "owners manual"

Tuning result: C C# D E flat E F F# G G# A B flat B

no commas in the above- not sure what all that means, but it is in synch with the Unitune I just got.

It is more accurate than the Unitune, I guess, as it is more persnickity, but it does get there.

Standing the head up turns it on, laying it down turns it off and it automatically turns off if there is no signal for 5 minutes-

Garland,

Yes that's a nice simple straightforward tuner,

Just recently I've got more obsessive with getting the guitar tuning dead on, a very well tuned guitar sounds beautiful.

Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,

I'll put the commas in and switch the order so it makes more sense; it goes like this:
E, F, F#, G, G#, A, B flat, B, C, C#, D, E flat.

So, just look at your fret board. Use one of the E strings, let's go with the 6th string, the "fat" E string.

The open string would be the "E." Then, move exactly one fret up at a time and you get every one of those notes until you end up at the 11th fret (E flat). It then starts all over again at the 12th fret with an E again.

Basically, what the tuner is saying is that it can tune your guitar to any key you want.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

The thick E string played "open" is the first note, the E. The first fret is the F. The second fret is the F# and so on and so on.
