Regardless of how "out" your guitar sounds nowadays with the help of an accurate electronic tuner, it is sheer heaven compared to the sound of two guitarists and a bass player all tuning to their own pitch pipes using their own varied "ear" skills.
I have a late 60's early 70's Conn strobotuner,....it still work pretty good too,...I have to turn it on and give it a calibration on of these days.

My Uncle's band used it back then,and I got it handed down to me in 1981,...when it was used by me and my band,and I've had it ever since.

I love it,....I love the old gear.
