Isn't it just the Planet Waves SOS Strobe Pick Tuner reinvented? Well, the Planet Wawes strobe pick looks a bit better.

It may very well be. I have never seen the one you are talking about. I just saw the article and thought it was neat so I figured I would share it.

I think the Planet waves is cheap enough to not build this contraption. Anyway, I read somewhere it could only tune in standard tunning, but this one incorporates some kind of screen with letters in it -which Planet Waves' doesn't have- so maybe you can. I'm confused.

Well, I'm not saying Planet Waves is better. I'm just saying they use the same concept and they've had for about a year now for sure, though it may not be their original idea. And yeah, Planet Waves only seem to have standard tuning, though MAYBE you could be able to figure out how to tune other tones than EBGDA. They call it the SOS tuner so it's going to be nothing special anyway.
