About the model
To put it simply, the KORG GA-50 takes player convenience to a whole new level. It has been designed specifically for the most popular instruments — six-string guitars and basses, including five- and six-string versions. The wide display clearly shows needle indicators and pitch values, making accurate tuning easier than ever before.
Its main advantage lies in its focus: unlike universal tuners, this one is tailored to the exact needs of guitarists and bassists. Musicians appreciate this specialisation, as it reacts quickly and precisely without unnecessary features getting in the way. The large buttons make it easy to operate, even during rehearsals in dark rooms or on a hectic stage where fast, error-free tuning is a must.
The manufacturer has also included useful features such as a reference tone for ear training, perfect for players wanting to develop their musical ear. Drop tuning support will delight fans of heavier genres, and even if you’re experimenting with unusual tunings, this tuner will help you keep your sound tight and accurate.
Who is it for?
Whether you’re a student playing your very first chord at home, a member of a garage band, or a performer appearing regularly on stage, the KORG GA-50 makes preparing to play significantly easier. It’s also a great choice for teachers checking students’ tuning quickly, sound engineers preparing instruments for recording, or composers who demand perfect harmony. In short, this model fits seamlessly into the toolkit of anyone holding a guitar or bass.
