Tried the search but could not find anything, just wondering if anyone knows how many hours you typically get out of the battery with an early 80s custom balladeer? I am using it for several songs in a live setup but do not think I would have time to change out the battery during a 10 min break. THis is the style where you must reach into the guitar to replace the battery. Thanks Paul.

The battery on mine seems to last forever. No tuner to drain it. If you plug in a lot around home, you may want to start with a new battery when you are playing out, but if you only plug in when you have a gig, it'll last a long, long time.

What She Said.

Change the battery next time you change the strings and then do it again Next Thanksgiving.

Depending on how many "wraps" around the tuner you have, you should be able to loosen the strings enough to reach in there.
From what I hear, the battery should last a Year or More.
