AutoStrobe 490
`


If you're a professional touring technician, you need professional tools! When it comes to tuners, that means a real strobe tuner like the AutoStrobe™ 490. Nothing less than a mechanical strobe tuner allows tuning in the most adverse conditions; for intonation set-up, nothing yields better results.

The mechanical strobe tuner has been the benchmark of professional tuning on the road right through the history of Rock'n'Roll.
