User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with bass and guitar as well
Answer:	The Planet Waves web site lists "Guitar/Bass, Keyboards" as the instruments for this Custom Series cable. FYI: If you buy/use this cable, the plug labeled "shielded" should go into the amp -- that insures adequate ground-out of interference (noise).
Question:	Is delivery safe
Answer:	Absolutely. It is one of the best cables on the market and very securely packaged.
Question:	How does this cable sound compared to the American Stage series? Tone, clarity, high/low end, etc
Answer:	I was deciding among various models and went for the "American Stage" series. It just seems better built to me.
Question:	does the right angle end lock into a telecaster jack
Answer:	Right-angle plug will not fit a recessed jack.

The lightweight, discrete, highly compact tuner hides behind the headstock practically blending into the instrument and is small enough to be kept on your instrument while stored in its case. At 1.25”, your audience will never know it’s there and with the convenient two-pack, you don’t have to choose which instrument to keep it on.

A wide calibration range (410-480Hz) guarantees precise performance and a visual metronome mode (20-270bpm) adds an additional practice tool.



The easy-to-read, tri-color backlit screen displays the note in red when out of tune, yellow when close, and green when in tune. This allows you to accurately tune with a quick glance at the display - even on dark stages or in direct sunlight. Powered by a readily available (and included) CR2032 battery, you will enjoy maximum battery life thanks to its auto-off function that shuts the tuner off after several minutes of no signal.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does this work for a bass guitar? I've got a Snark that doesn't register well on my Fender Jazz bass
Answer:	No. I verified with the manufacturer it can only produce a single rhythm at a time.
Question:	How can this work with any guitar case? It wouldn’t sit in there safely whatsoever. Very impractical
Answer:	After you power the device on, press the mode button so you are in "Pitch" mode. I believe the default pitch you will get is an A at 440. You can use that pitch to tune your cello - just tune the A-string to that pitch. If it doesn't come up with a A, you can turn the wheel and as you do, it changes the pitch. You can turn it to each pitch of the 4 cellos strings, A, D, G & C. Just make sure you don't tune to a sharp or flat, just the straight pitch.
Question:	Could i use this for intonation
Answer:	If your question is related to operating power, it requires 2 AAA batteries. Without modification, there is no capability to apply external power.
Question:	If I change the pitch to 432Hz, will it reset to 440Hz if I turn it off and back on
Answer:	There is no fan. It is the same exact size as the SB6121/SB6141. Just that it is white. It runs luke warm, not really even hot.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the humidifying packs
Answer:	Yes, the humidifying packs are pictured on the box. Two fabric holders are sent to suspend the packs inside your guitar. Of course, you must keep your guitar in a relatively air-tight case for the system to work. The packs are designed to keep the relative humidity between the recommended 45 to 55 percent. I use a room humidity gauge to determine whether the packs are needed.
Question:	I have been using these for 10 months and they are still not dried out. Can they last that long
Answer:	Yes, depending on the environment the guitar is kept. Although I don’t wait until the packets turn to stone before changing them. I usually change the packets when they feel a bit crunchy.
Question:	Can I use this in an electric acoustic guitar
Answer:	This product is for use in any hollow body guitar, especially during the Winter months when the heat is on and the wood tends to dry out. You MUST use a humidifier to keep the wood (especially the guitar top) of your instrument from cracking. I use this D'Addario humidifier on my custom but D-45 with excellent results.
Question:	Can you reuse the packs, like after they get hard could you put them in a humid environment and re humidify them
Answer:	Yes they can. I have been using these for years and I rotate between sets. One set is in the instrument case while the other is recharging. To recharge, get two Tupperware containers one large and one small. The smaller one (without its lid) needs to fit into the large one so that its lid can be closed. Add about 1/2 inch of water to the larger container and put the packs needed to be recharged in the smaller one, put the smaller container in the larger one and seal it. It takes about 2-3 weeks to recharge a pack that's hardened into new condition. I use humidity meters in the cases to spot check and there is no difference between a new humidipak and a recharged one. If you get the packets wet BTW, the gig is up. You have to throw them out and replace them. I get 2-3 years of service from a set of 3 before they start to fall apart. I live in Ohio BTW, so I only need them for half the year.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these fit a peavey v type guitar
Answer:	They fit 10mm tuner holes. If your tuner holes in your peg head are smaller you will need to drill them out
Question:	can i apply them without drilling holes ? i mean if i screw hard the top will they move
Answer:	Yeah that's what I did with one of my guitars But just be careful not to do it to hard or you may strip the nut But if you have the option to drill the holes just do it that's better
Question:	What kind of pins, if any, are on the back side of the tuner? 2 pin, 1 pin, or 0 pins? I would guess 0 since there is a screw for anti rotation
Answer:	Lol,I dont know what kind the guy that said 1 pin had cause these dont have any pins.As for strats they are not staggered like Fender strat tuners are from tall to short.They are all the same height so You Must Use String Trees.For looks I would recommend the Fender locking tuners and they are actually cheaper.But if you want the convenient string trimmers they are very nice and have a better gear ratio.
Question:	Can these tuners fit a squier deluxe stratocaster
Answer:	I’ve been using on my Fender Strat for years! They are perfect! Just need to Ream the holes to 13/32”. Existing are Squier holes are typically 10mm. Mounting screw holes will likely need plugging and Re drilling .

User questions & answers

Question:	Can someone please guide me on how to tie the acoustic quick release strap? (Maybe a short video
Answer:	This is quite easy. Slip the tie string underneath all 6 strings on the headstock, just above the nut. Bring the tie string underneath the headstock and then slip the clasp that the string is attached to through the loop in the end of the tie string. Now the clasp and string are attached to your guitar headstock.
Question:	This does not seem to fit on my Fender acoustic guitar. It fits on one end but not on the bottom end of my guitar. Did this happen to anybody else
Answer:	Same here. Fit on one end but not the other, though in my case it fit on the bottom and not on the top. Mind you, (this was for an Ibanez EP5/10 electric acoustic) the stud it didn't fit is in a rather strange place and is just too short for the locking end of this strap. A pity: I really like the feel and design of this strap.
Question:	Can you please tell me exactly how the strap works? I cannot find out where to put the strap? I can get one side but not the other
Answer:	This strap only works if your guitar has 2 strap buttons. One button should be near the neck, the other near/at the end of the guitar body. My only complaint with the strap is that the hard plastic of the locking ends may mar the guitar's finish. The strap works very well and makes a very secure lock to the strap buttons. But, beware of scratching the guitar's finish.
Question:	Is the locking version of this product safe with a nitrocellulose finish
Answer:	Should be quite safe. Nitrocellulose finish's are very durable. The lock mechanism on the strap is plasic so I shouldn't hurt the finish.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the differences between the pedalboard kit and the instrument cable kit which is sold at a lower price and 30 more ft of cable
Answer:	If you look at the list prices you'll notice the instrument cable kit lists for more. The only difference I can see is that the instrument cable kit comes with 4 straight jacks and 6 angled. When I purchased the pedalboard kit it was less expensive than the instrument cable kit.
Question:	Just bought these. Made a couple cables and now I have serious hum. Am I doing something wrong
Answer:	A bad hum would be caused by a bad ground. As Jerry B said, you probably didn't screw one of the set screws in tightly enough. I'm sure you figured that out by now!
Question:	can I buy extra plugs
Answer:	I have bought single plugs on amazon . these things are great
Question:	Is this kit made in China
Answer:	No. The package says: "Designed, engineered and assembled in USA with foreign and domestic components."

Question:	Are these cables balanced or unbalanced
Answer:	Hi These are guitar cables and are not balanced.

This product I have used for years and is very good and high quality. Regards Rick

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this for yamaha pacifica 112j electric guitar
Answer:	Sure, the tension is adjustable and so it would work fine on an electric guitar.
Question:	Will this work with a 2" nut and a radiused (24") fingerboard
Answer:	I don't have that particular configuration but I'll give you some information and I hope it helps. I got the standard steel-string model for my (standard) old Martin and the Classical model for my Taylor 712 with a 1 3/4" nut and a somewhat flatter fingerboard (I don't know the radius). The standard actually works on the Taylor but the Classical model seems to give me fewer tuning issues with the 6th string. The PW Classical model actually has a slight curve so it might be fine with a 24" radius but I couldn't say for sure.
Question:	Is there a Shipping cost
Answer:	Shipping costs depend on the seller. If you look at the offers the shipping cost is directly below the price shown. In addition, before checkout the entire cost of everything is shown. There are over 40 different sellers so there are a lot of different shipping costs.
Question:	I know there are capos specifically made for mandolins/banjos, but I was wondering if this was also adaptable for intonation purposes. Thanx
Answer:	I've used mine on several of my mandolin with success. Intonation was very good, so much so that I plan on getting the model specifically for mandolin/banjo from Planet Wave to not have it be so large and hitting my hand. It's perfect for my 6 and 12 string guitars, though. I have Dunlop and Shubb models that are very good, but I'm enjoying the Planet Wave design and intonation BEST.
