What's a GREAT Clip On Tuner for the PRS Headstock?

Why wouldn’t this PRS rechargeable model do it?
Here’s an excellent one for a lot more money, these are accurate.

When you have the time, would you mind posting a photo of it attached to the headstock?

Can it be attached so that it's behind (not like the PRS Video shows it on the front side of the headstock) the headstock?

I use a TC Polytune by the D string tuner. Works great for me.

Edit to add - it’s kinda stupid expensive for a clip on tuner.

Yes. Very adjustable.
Beats me. I’m not a fan of headstock tuners; I was just trying to be helpful.
I wasn't either when I had a Pedalboard (StroboStomp HD>Ego>TubeScreamer>Mobius>UAD Dream '65>Apollo Interface) that I was using for Recording only, but I sold all of it and went Software-based only.
As I use the Apollo Unison Slot for a variety of great amps and pedals, I haven't looked back since, but that's why I'm considering a clip on Lazlo.

I don’t know if this helps -
I use a Korg (Pitch-Hawk) tuner.
I know it’s a Santana headstock, but it fits on the top horn of the normal PRS headstock too.

I use a T C Electronic Unitune.
Not cheap but highly satisfied with it.
As above, just above the D string capstan or above & between the D & G capstans.
Had a Snark before that but it struggled to pick up the low E sometimes and it had a coating that turned gummy after a while.
There are times I have to use software instruments as scratch pads when I'm writing a part, and it's too late to fire up the amps (in fact, I like UA's '57 Deluxe model quite a bit), but in those cases I use either the tuner built into Logic, or a Brainworx BX tuner as an insert in UA's Luna.
As a sidebar, I like both Logic and Luna, but mostly use Logic because of its picture-scoring features, and Luna doesn't have that capability yet. However, Luna's summing mixers sound killer and very hardware-like, and depending on the project, there are times I track in Logic, finalize the basic tracks to picture, and then import the tracks into Luna for mixing.
On the pedalboard, I use the Strobostomp HD, exactly as you did before going 'in the box'.

I use Peterson Stroboclip HDC on acoustics; Strobostomp HD for electrics.
I sometimes favor sweetened tunings for certain songs, riffs, instruments, etc. AFAIK, Peterson is the only stand alone tuner that has that functionality.

I use this:
The only negative, IMHO, is that it isn't as bright as some.
I suppose the price is annoyingly high, even for the two pack I normally buy (currently $37 for two). They used to be a lot cheaper ($22 for two)...

D'Addario Micro Headstock Tuner
It's quite small: has a low profile, doesn't need much headstock real estate, and can be mounted and viewed either side (back or front of headstock).The only negative, IMHO, is that it isn't as bright as some.
