Hi Folks . . .
In the midst of deciding on a tuner, I ran across some information that Peterson took input from James Taylor for their "Sweetened Tuning" on the StrobClip tuner. JT apparently uses the following offsets:
-3 cents for E/1st
-6 cents for B
-4 cents for G
-8 cents for D
-10 cents for A
-12 cents for E/6th
I've not tried this yet (need to replace a stripped machine head), but other players I've read about were surprised how much they like this tuning method and how "sweet" it sounds haha.
So my question is . . . has anyone tried tuning this way and, if so, do you like it?
Since I cannot find a clip-on tuner that *displays* the actual CENTS, it looks like I'd need to go with the StrobClip preset to achieve this tuning.
I'm also wondering if a guitar is truly setup correctly (like those coming from Tom/Fixit), if a "Sweetened Tuning" is even an improvement.
Ok, that's it for now - Thanks in advance for any input!
