Tuning up on stage with audio is unprofessional.

Not sure where all the headstock tuner rage stems from. Can anyone fill me in? I don't have a pedal tuner, and I don't want to fire up my Axe FX or computer just to check that everything is tuned.

headstock tuners are fine in your home studio or if you are just dinking around

the reasons for the rage are as follows:

1. people not muting their guitars while tuning with headstock tuners on stage
2. headstock tuners make you look like a TGP dork who wears birkenstocks with socks and a tommy bahama shirt while playing "la grange" at the county fair
3. headstock tuners are (for the most part) cheap and inaccurate, although there are some higher quality ones
4. they look like a giant herpe on the headstock of your guitar, which is fine for playing in madison square bedroom, but live performances in front of actual people are about aesthetics

They almost look as bad as a guy staring at his toes to tune then again if you have a pair of Carlos it's not so bad.

you are more than welcome to have a dork antennae on your headstock if you'd like to fit in with ABone and the boys, you do play blues of course
