If you play guitar you need a guitar tuner – it really is that simple. Actually it isn't quite that simple; you probably need a headstock tuner and a tuner pedal if you're performing, but at the very least you need the former. So choose wisely. All of this makes Taylor's new Beacon a very interesting addition to your headstock tuner shortlist – it can do four other things apart from calibrating your tuning.
As far as we're aware there isn't anything else that does the combination that the Beacon can; it's also a metronome, timer, countdown clock and flashlight.
