Anyone with a second hand pedal guitar tuner (preferably a Boss TU-2) or info on where I can get one? Ebay doesn't seem to have many second hand ones. Thanks.

I don't know of a second hand pedal. However...
For the money you'll spend, I'd recommend getting your guitar seen to so it doesn't go out of tune on stage. Tuning in the middle of a gig can be a pain in the arse for the band and the audience - I use 16 FX pedals but there's no tuner.
There are also these 'clip on' tuners that fix to the headstock. I imagine they're a lot cheaper than a stomp box. They pick up the vibrations through the guitar body and the screen is angled so you can see it whilst you're playing - they're tiny things but they seem to work pretty well - I'm unsure if they work as well on both electric and acoustic, but I've seen electric guitarists use them.
If your guitar has a double locking trem, it can be an invaluable tool - if the trem is a good one, it's very hard to put the guitar out of tune, although it takes a while to learn how to set it up right (you may know how to do this already). Since nu-metal, a lot of guitarists have ripped the trem arm out and don't use it in an attempt to be fashionable - it's a shame because they're great gadgets. You wouldn't need to spend any money if you've got one of those.
Hope this is of some use.
