Fine for tuning the strings but problematic for getting the intonation right.
Used an amp with a built in tuner and kept going until the intonation was right.
OK. I know there's a lot of to-ing and fro-ing involved, but I didn't think you needed particularly accurate hearing. Actually my old-fashioned Korg tuner with the mechanical meter is quite a bit easier to use than the more recent digital types.
Of course, the best was the old Conn stroboscope with the spinning disc and the neon light modulated by the guitar signal. You could see everything at once on those.
