I always leave it in place as I am always putting capos on and off and also going from different tunings. But also seems I can knock it out of tune in one song if I play hard in a performance. I played a 3 hour gig last Saturday and used a floor Peterson tuner and a headstock one so I could do quick tweaks either way. I doubt anyone really pays attention to the brand or value of your guitar, even musicians, they want to hear you perform.
The real question I would have is do you use a floor tuner when performing so you can mute the sound and avoid subjecting the audience to tuning on the house speakers?
