Whilst on holiday in Thailand, I went into the Bangkok Fender dealership and saw the ultimate in guitar tuners:

tuner

For size reference, it stands about 1 foot (30cm) high

I also saw something that I've never seen before - a double cutaway Telecaster. It wasn't a Strat body, the upper horn was obviously cut from a Tele blank (it was actually a thinline, with the f-holes).

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

I might actually be able to see that without hunting for a pair of glasses first! :D

Blue exactly what I was thinking, but you could hang it on the wall like a picture that would be pretty cool.

Is it an actual working tuner or just a replica?

It's a working advertisement - big display and very easy to use.

They had one in the acoustic room at GC when I bought my acoustic... It had a microphone and was displaying tuning as I played. Nice advertisement!

They had one of those tuners where I bought my last acoustic. I'd buy one...

I've seen the double cutaway thinline tele before. I considered buying it but I just did not like the way it sounded. For some reason it sounds a lot different than even regular thinlines. I wasn't impressed.
