The vacuum created by this process causes the fabric to shrink inward indicating that it's time for a refill with the included refilling syringe.

  • Designed to fit most 6- and 12- string guitar necks with radiused fingerboards Designed by Ned Steinberger

The compound action reduces the force necessary to open and close the capo. It also eliminates side-pulling the strings out of tune, which is prevalent on other trigger-type capos. Aircraft-quality aluminum construction adds virtually no weight to the guitar's neck when in use and the capo can be clamped on the headstock when idle. Simply adjust the tactile micrometer tension control so there is just enough tension to eliminate string buzzing.

Korg GA1 Guitar and Bass Tuner

Korg GA1 Guitar and Bass Tuner Review



Korg GA1 Guitar and Bass Tuner Feature

  • Ultra-compact design
  • High-precision LCD needle-type meter for stable tuning
  • Quinta Flat Tuning mode lets you tune 1--5 semitones flat
  • Supports 7-string guitar tunings
  • Sound Out can produce a reference tone from the internal speaker

Korg GA1 Guitar and Bass Tuner--Featuring a Quinta Flat Tuning Mode

The Korg GA1 offers the same excellent features as the top-selling GA30 tuner but with a new enhanced design. High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg tuners a worldwide favorite. With even more features--like a pitch reference tone and quinta-flat tuning--the Korg GA1 tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into an ultra-compact body.


Small, thin, light and powerful.

An Easy-to-Use Dedicated Guitar and Bass Tuner
The Korg GA1 is a dedicated guitar/bass tuner that lets you select either Guitar mode or Bass mode for truly easy operation with automatically detected pitch. The wide detection range supports 7-string guitar (7B through 1E) in Guitar mode, and 6-string bass (Low-B, Hi-C) in Bass mode. A high-sensitivity mic is built in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic guitars.

Ultra-Compact Body with a "Tilt Slit"
Although the Korg GA1 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The GA1 can accurately tune any guitar or bass. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped tilt slit that lets you insert a plastic card to use as a handy stand. The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. LEDs that indicate pitch deviation provide additional visual feedback.


Features an ease-to-read LCD display.

High-Precision Display and Sound
The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation. In addition to visual tuning via meter, the GA-1 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle the output sound through 7B->6E->5A->4D->3G->2B->1E in Guitar mode, or LB->4E->3A->2D->1G->HC in Bass mode.

Quinta Flat Tuning Mode--A World-Wide First
The Quinta Flat Tuning mode supports lowered tunings used in heavy metal styles to give more weight to your sound. Until now, dedicated guitar tuners have supported a maximum of only four semitones below standard pitch. But the GA-1 gives you five steps of flatted tuning, extending as far as five semitones below standard pitch, and supporting even super-long scale guitars that are five frets longer than conventional guitars.

Power-Saving Functions
If you leave the unit powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, the Auto Power Off function will turn the power off automatically, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption. Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).
