Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Excellent, solid Reliability How has it stood up over time? Had it a year. Works like new. Overall Your general opinion of this product. You have to know how to use it. For some reason the low E & A show as flat when the strobe is dead on. Set it slightly sharp and it shows as in tune. For some reason,that actually works. I guess the approach is that a larger string starts out sharp and settle more slowly in tune due to its thickness? That is all I can figure. Also the general readout is not as accurate as tuning them individually but when you do, it's dead on. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? n/a Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? n/a Finish How did the stain or paint job look? n/a Action How was the action out of the box? n/a

Overall Your general opinion of this product. The TC Electronic Polytune is a great product. One strum and all strings show on the tuner and if they are over/under the correct note. The visual of all strings and the adjustment needed allows for quick tuning correction. Or you can hit individual strings for a larger visual. Both I have found are equally accurate.

How dependable? The Polytune is very well made structurally and the finish has stood well. Reliability How has it stood up over time?

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well made, very well thought out. I especially like the USB out, to add software updates later on (like the new Drop D software coming out soon) Reliability How has it stood up over time? after 2 months, it's done pretty well. the switch feels a little cheap, but i run it in my volume pedal out, so i'm not stomping on it a whole lot. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I had a Korg Pitchblack which was just fine for me. it was pretty accurate, small and bright. then i had an outdoor gig, and it was a disaster: i couldn't see my tuner! no matter what i did to try and shade the screen, the glare made it impossible for me to tune. to be fair to the Korg, my guitarist had the same problem, and so unfortunately both of us were out of tune for the majority of our half hour set. after the gig, we talked it over and our bassist proudly told us he was in tune the whole time. his polytune held up to the sun and he could see PERFECTLY. the very next day, i got the polytune, and i haven't looked back. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? much more accurate than my old polytune. it does take a bit longer to be read as perfectly in tune, but the poly mode is great for quick touch-ups in between songs. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? it looks pretty sweet, actually. Action How was the action out of the box?

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Seems very high quality to me. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I have had it for about six months. No problems. Overall Your general opinion of this product. It is amazing. I give it five stars because it works exactly as it should with standard tuning. One slight problem I have, is mine does not let me strum non-standard tuning. I have a guitar that is tuned to C standard and my polytune requires me to pluck tune individual strings for that. If I am tuning E standard, it works awesome in strum tune mode. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Solid unit. Fits perfect in my pedal case. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? 100% awesome. This should be mandatory for every guitar player. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Its white. You really can't mess that up. Can you? Action How was the action out of the box? Works Perfect
Great Tuner!
