Can this be used to tune 7 and/or 8 string electric guitars?

I don't see why not. I use it on a 3 string mountain dulcimer and it is super accurate and the dial is easy to read. It has several modes and you need to find the one that works best for your instrument. I would like to use it on autoharp but I have not found a way to attach it. The mount is intended for a flat place like the guitar and my dulcimer.

I Have Tuned a 4 String Bass, Mandolin, Violin and 6 string Guitar with this tuner. I believe it can be used to tune a 7 or 8 string Guitar.

This Peterson can be used to Tune ANYTHING that You can connect to a flat surface that the vibration of the instrument resonates from. This is by far the best Clip-on tuner I have ever used. I'm a Professional Musician and Guitarist with 45 years of experience and I use nothing but Peterson Tuners. ~Pepper Roberts~ Studio/session Musician ( retired ) RCA and Columbia Recording INC.

Hey Chip, as long as you know what notes you want to tune to it shouldn't be a problem. The tuner uses the vibration through the instrument to tell you what your tuning is.

You could tune to any instrument type but you would most likely need to change the strings to get the best tone. I would change the fourth string first.

Hi Eldon, This guitar is not speced with a on board tuner, just a three band EQ and piezo pickup as far as the electronics go.

Yes, it should work very well. Although I don't need it to tune my guitar, I did try it when I first got mine, and it was spot on with the very accurate screen gauge.

I use mine on guitars and a 5 string banjo which tune to different notes than a guitar. I haven't tried it on other instruments but it should work just fine so long as you are within its upper and lower frequency limits. For example it might not read the highest piano key or the lowest but within its range it would do just fine. It works by picking up vibrations from whatever it is clamped on. It, of course, has no idea where the vibrations come from just that there are vibrations and it will tell you what note they are and how far off you are from the nearest musical note.

No it does not. But a decent tuner isn't too expensive to purchase either here on Amazon or at a guitar center. We got one for like $10 and it works on electric and acoustic guitars.

I dont think so. You need something that doesn't clip on the string. Just get those regular tuner that "listens" to the sound of the string.

Yes. I bought these tuners. There are six in a pack. Also, I find it strange that anyone would sell LESS than six tuners for a guitar.

It worked on an Ovation 6 string that's all I know for sure you must have a Bridge that accepts the unit. It has 6 actual little metallic blocks that correspond to each string don't thinl it would work on an 8 string. I guess I've never seen an 8 string but I don't think it would work?

It will tune down 5 semitones to B and up to capo on the 7th fret. http://www.tcelectronic.com/media/2830605/tc_electronic_polytune_2_manual_english.pdf

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

A digital tuner is your best bet, but I wouldn't waste my money. I have owned two of these and the tuning keys got loose and ruined the guitar with just one or two tunings.

Absolutely. I love it. It is finicky on tuning. But I would highly recommend it.

Hello. It would work on any instrument. It will give you the note of the string you pick, and tell you how flat or sharp the tuning is. It is very accurate.Take care.
