Anybody ever seen/tried one of these? They only make them for standard guitar.

I think I'd get more use out of the Uillean Pipe Practice Chanter that follows this thing. Seriously, though, the last thing I would want is to take my ears out of the tuning process, however wonderful this contraption might work.

Fellow Diamond Valleyite Amos Garrett had one for a while for a joke. It seems to work though, on 6 string. I never tried it on steel, probably confuse it to no end.

Hmmmmmm...

What next? An "electric chewing-gum wrapper remover", maybe?

I may be "over-generalizing", but...if you cain't tune it, 'ya prob'ly cain't play it either.

Now, now, guys. I'm not defending this particular product, but it's not that far from the regular tuners we already use. Only difference is this one turns the knobs for you. (And a lot of us use electric string winders too, by the way, when putting on new strings). None of this has to mean your ears are out of the loop.
