Changes in temperature, aging strings, use and other factors

constantly de-tune guitars.

Out-of-tune guitars waste your time and money, and hurt your sound.

Good for Every Guitarist

Beginners: Self-tuning saves time and helps instill sense of perfect-pitch. Allows beginners to learn to play songs more easily by allowing them to use the tunings the artists have written the songs in. Intermediates: Save time and experiment with alternative tunings. Allows intermediates to change tunings while playing and allows them to access more tunings faster and more accurately than ever before. Professional Players: Saves time and ensures perfect tuning in all studio, live and songwriting settings. Alternate tuning, too! Allows professionals to save money on equipment as one guitar can now be tuned and retuned at the touch of a button, allowing for fewer guitar purchases etc.

Why AxCent is Different

AxCent is the only self-tuning system that uses a patented

“open loop” technology.

Other, less successful self-tuning systems are “closed loop”, and

unlike AxCent, cannot be used on a wide range of new and old

guitars. They also do not allow for tuning changes while playing.
