Peterson AUTOSTROBE 490 Strobe Tuner – Used – Includes Acoustic Pickup

Never gigged - home or bench use only.

A true classic in the world of precision tuning, this used Peterson AUTOSTROBE 490 remains one of the most accurate and reliable strobe tuners ever produced.

Renowned for its ultra-precise mechanical strobe display, the 490 offers the kind of accuracy that has made Peterson a staple in professional workshops, studios, and on concert stages for decades. Whether you're setting intonation, calibrating an instrument, or carrying out detailed repair work, this unit delivers outstanding visual accuracy that modern digital tuners still strive to match.

This example is in excellent hardly used condition, fully functional, and includes an acoustic pickup ideal for tuning acoustic or electric instruments (in quieter environments) without relying solely on a direct signal.

Just a few minor marks here and there as can be seen in the pictures. Display is nice and bright and software is revision 1.22
