the Korg AC 30 i think is the model that i had and loved to death! it was only $20 which worked for me! but i guess if you can pull it off the onboard research TU 2 bare bones clip on tuner works wonders for your ease of use.... i have broke mine and lost a screw out of it i called the company asking if they could sell me the part i broke or if i would have to buy another tuner and they just sent me the parts for free and it was very fast shipping also i might add!
you're a good man apl.... i wish more people would invest in a kid when he is starting out like that.
