Yeah but you got a telecaster. Late for a gig the other night pulled my tele out of the bag and played three songs before I realized I had never tuned it. But it comes out of the bag dead nuts in tune 95% of the time, so does my Strat come to think of it
I have a 200$ Indonesian Washburn that was left in its bag for a year. Leather bag, multiple environments through 3 moves. when I pulled it out, it was basically in tune.(tiny, tiny tweaks) Even then, it was probably only off cause, who retunes before putting it away?
I guess you use your ears eh? come on, post a video and show us how it should be. Everyone else does. Oh no, actually, they just leave shitbag comments because they have all the answers but actually do fuck all
Actually van Halen very much did have tuners very precise strobe tuners. There are photos documentating this. Peterson strobe tuners. Have you heard of van Halen tuning? Its all over yt. It's easy to do and understand why its done and i think its a big part of his sound. Once you've heard it you'll instantly recognize it in all his tunes.
