One thing that can cause erratic readings with electronic tuners is having the pickups too close to the strings. The closer you get, the stronger the magnetic pull of the pickup poles. As the string vibrates, if the poles are close enough, it will generate "wolf tones", a sort of oscillation between the intended frequency and a false frequency created by the pickup pole. Electronic tuners do not like this and the wolf tones in general make the instrument sound less than ideal.
