FenderFender FT-1 Pro Clip-On Tuner, For Electric, Acoustic & Bass Guitars & Ukuleles, Black

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this particular device because I wanted a simple 'no bells and whistles' guitar tuner that just does the job.It certainly does the job!It has a really nice, well lit, easy to read display with a simple single function button all wrapped up in a small compact body easy to just throw in your guitar case or bag.The device is made from plastic but seems very well made and the clip secures the device firmly to the head of the instrument.I've seen other comments where people have said it doesn't work at all but this left me wondering if it was being used correctly...Unlike some other tuners, this one doesn't have a microphone to detect the sound. Instead it detects vibrations so it must be attached directly to the instrument.You can actually use it to detect your voice too by attaching it to something like a wooden coaster or metal tin lid which will pick up the vibrations much like the diaphragm of a microphone.Note:Uses the supplied CR2032 Button Cell Battery (not the CR2 Battery stated in the listing).I highly recommend this product.

Great little guitar tuner that works with both electric and acoustic guitars. Very compact and can be left on the guitar without getting in the way. Despite the compact size, the info on screen is bright and clear. It’s so simple to use as well, simply tap the button to switch it on and off you go. Also comes with a battery fitted.

Easy to use, clip on and go. The unit picks up sound thru vibration so I had to find a sweet spot on the headstock. Once in place it works well but be sure other band members are not making a racket while your tuning as it can pick that and and get a little glitchy.Would recomend. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Great as always.Not the biggest fan of clip on tuners but they're handy for on the go, I use it mainly for my acoustic, but works perfectly fine for electric unplugged too and my bass. It's handy light weight etc, a little flimsy though being plastic but it is cheap and more than affordable so can't complain, just be careful with it when stuffing it in your bag lol can imagine it snapping very easily.I despise the battery fitting though!!!!! Ugh What a nightmare... Dno if it's just mine was a bad one or if they're all like this but it was a right pain in the caboose. And really? ... A tiny screw just for a button battery case? Unnecessary. I don't remember them having these before lol... Annoying to say the least and impractical especially if you're on the road and need to change the battery and you don't have a child size screw driver on you randomly.....But it's accurate and works well! Fender as always dishing out good reliable products!

When it came in a small box and I opened it I was instantly impressed with the quality of the product. Well packaged, even comes with a battery. It has the Fender name on it and I found that reassuring when buying it compared to the plethora of other tuners.Having used guitar tuners that are plugged into electric guitars having one that just clips on to the top does make tuning a lot easier. It picks up the vibrations of the guitar to tune. It is very accurate, easy to use and also switches off. The clip to attach feels sturdy and once it’s on it can be pivoted to however you need it. The display is easy to read.

I've used plug-in/pedal tuners for many years but they're such a faff, that in the last couple of years I've relied on the app on my phone (Fender Tune, funnily enough) - but, while it's not bad for guitar, it is constantly failing with my basses. A phone app seems unable to handle the very low notes, so I always ended up tuning my E string by ear once the G,D, and A were sorted.I'd looked at these little gadgets a few times but never felt the time was right - till Prime Day, when this one was reduced by about a third. Time to dive in.And now I'm wishing I'd got one ages ago. You slot in the battery (CR 2032) and then there's just one button - power it on, press to cycle through the different instrument modes (guitar, bass, even ukelele) and bob's your uncle. Clip it to the headstock, it is super adjustable so you can get it to exactly the right angle to be clearly visible.Hit a string and the display is blue till you get in tune, when it turns a lovely bright green. It's big and clear enough to be easily read on stage under lights.Handily, if you don't switch it off after use (just hit the button again!), it will switch off automatically if it isn't used for a couple of minutes, so you're unlikely to get caught out by a dead battery.Most importantly, it works perfectly with the low strings, E is just as clear and quick as the rest - using the phone app I could stand there for five minutes waiting for it while it kept saying 'pluck any string' despite the fact I was plucking away at the E like maniac, the app just wasn't picking it up!Overall, a huge improvement on phone tuning, more convenient than a pedal, and really cheap - what's not to like?
