Tune Tech TT-500 Contact Tuners
A small, back-lit, chromatic tuner that is accurate to within 0.5 cents (most are only accurate to with 1.0 cent). What makes this such a good tuner is not just its accuracy, but its decided ability not to be fooled by harmonics and overtones.
The two brands (Intelli and Tune Tech) are absolutely identical in all respects other than the names printed on the tuners. $29.95

10 1/2" for 11" pots
11 1/2" for 12" pots
Length of dowel: 1 1/2"
Diameter of dowel: .78" or 25/32. Dowel is slightly oversized of 3/4" to allow for fitting into a 3/4" hole.

Width at the narrow end: 9/16" sq. Fits a StewMac ferrule.
End hole diameter is 5/32".
