The Stimmmopped, which might be more fun to say than it is to use, bombards your guitar’s strings, one at a time, with two LEDs. The lights flash at the exact frequency at which the string should be vibrating, so if it’s tuned too flat or too sharp the LEDs will appear to move. When the string’s tuned correctly, the lights will look like they’re perfectly still.
This is, of course, how all the rowdiest rock stars keep their guitars tuned just right. [Make]

No. My guitar has an inbuilt digital tuner with an LCD readout, which can not only tune to the usual EADGBE, but will let you tune each individual string to any other key you like. And it’s a cheap guitar. My flash dangle expensive model is an old rocker, so hasn’t got anything that funky, but still, I’d not use this crappy LED thing.
