I think I'll wait till I get the tuner to change them

Meh... It's up to you. They don't belong to me. They belong to you! That's what gifts are.

I will mention that you can get a good tuner on your phone, but those really work best with acoustics, where you're not dealing with the amplification aspect which may add distortion. For that, I recommend the clip on tuner, like you have coming in a few days. Amazon says to expect delivery "October 7 - 12". So, that's a five day window.

But, a clip-on tuner works with anything, even an unplugged electric. Those work by sensing the vibration.

What you REALLY want is a 'strobe tuner'. I have a variety of them. They are the peak of accuracy. I did not spend the money to send you a proper strobe tuner. You are getting a clip-on tuner. It'll work just fine - even showing you the cents, or it should. Dunno... I haven't tried that specific brand. It looks like it shows cents.

Also, leaving a tuner on your guitar may lead to it leaving marks on the guitar from the rubber interacting with the finish. Personally, I don't much care unless the guitars are extremely valuable. If they're valuable, don't leave the tuner on 'em. Though, they really mostly react with nitrocellulose finishes and I suspect the guitars you own are all poly finished.

I used to have a clip on tuner but it fell off the guitar as I was playing and instantly got stepped on. Christopher has got one. I use his tuner to try to be in tune with him when we play together, but when I am playing by myself I just tune the guitar to itself. Unless I'm recording where I am going to be adding other instruments

I don't have a perfect ear, but it's pretty close. So, I'll often just tune a guitar to itself - or just tune the E string and tune to that. Guitars are inherently out of tune to some extent and can't be made to be exactly in tune, though the multiscale fanned frets try to - and get it closer.

But, yeah, it's a clip-on tuner. It should work. It'll be there soon.
