Probably, but I have the fortune of having very good mechanics on my

gear, so it's almost in tune even after hours of playing and whammying!

:-)
Tuners are in general only really needed for live playing and when you do

intonation. And it seems to me that one can calibrate this tuners to

specific guitars with help of presets. And with ±.02 cents guaranteed

accuracy ( a trained ear is usually not better than around ±.2-3 cents)

this is very good stuff. A bridge-only adjusted  guitar often has tones

that is as much as ± 10 cents out of tune (my subjective opinion - it can

even be worse), that can in theory be as bad as 20 cents of error between

2 tones!
So a tuner for live usage need to be able to have presets that says

"Bulls eye" slightly out of tune for each of the open EADGBE strings in

order to have a good compromise for guitars with only the bridge

adjusted.
Personally, I don't use tuners on stage, but the turbo-tuners look great!
..or maybe a Linux-powered one that runs on a netbook, laptop, pad or a

smartphone? ;-)
