If an LED watch isn’t retro enough how about a sun dial.

Continuing in our tradition of reporting on the multitude of time keeping instruments (I’m desperately trying for the sake of variety not to call them clocks and watches (again)). We’ve just found a remake of probably the oldest time keeping device; the Sun Dial. These wonderful time pieces were very popular in historic times and could be seen in many a Roman or successful caveman’s abode.

There must be a musical vibe in the ether today - this is another instrument related post!

I’m more of a drummer than a guitarist myself - moving all your fingers at the same time always looked way too complicated. I have been on the receiving end of some badly tuned guitars though and it isn’t a pleasent sound.

I’ve also seen people spend hours painfully plucking a string, tweaking the tuning, plucking the string… so this actually looks quite cool.

Plug this tuner into the (electric) guitar, place the head over one of the tuning pegs and pluck. The StringMaster figures out what note the string is actually playing (as opposed to what it’s supposed to be playing) and turns the tuning peg appropriately until the note is correct. Sounds like a good idea to me.
