Fender "Bullet" Chromatic Clip-On Tuner For Guitar/Bass, LED Color Screen, Black

A Sleek, nifty little device that's great for the money, it's bright enough to be visible even in a bright room, slides right onto the head of the guitar and is very accurate, I've been using it for quite a while and it always keeps me in tune, and it's never looked like it was in any way flimsy or brittle, I would say it's durable. Overall, it's a brilliant little gizmo. Strongly Recommend.

I don't really understand the negative reviews for this tuner, it's so easy to use that it's rather irrelevant that the display might not be perfectly aligned. It might not suit the 'professional' guitar player, but is an excellent piece of kit for a beginner or a strummer such as myself. I'm just about to buy my 4th one. I bought one each for my sons who are just learning to play, and one of them lost his so that had to be replaced. I had been using an iPad app for my own guitar, but have since found this so compact and easy to use that I've been borrowing it from one of the boys to tune my guitar. I've therefore decided to buy my own, since the price makes it a very small investment, and while the iPad app is very comprehensive, the Fender tuner is wonderfully mobile. In use, you simply clip it to your guitar head and strum the E string. It picks up which string you're playing and the meter shows if it's in tune or not and you adjust the string until the meter is showing the centre point. You can then move to the next string and the next ... If you need to retune a previous string (for example if you accidentally turn the wrong tuning peg as I sometimes do) this tuner 'knows' which string you're tuning and automatically switches to it. Once you get used to using it I have found that once a string is in tune, stop it vibrating (just touch the string) to ensure it will quickly pick up the next string. Otherwise there is a slight delay while it figures out which string it's supposed to be monitoring. The only thing to be careful of is that the on/off button also controls which instrument you're tuning, so if you're not careful you could end up tuning your guitar as a ukelele. It does have a few 'key specific' tunings for the more advanced guitarist, and note that I've written this as a guitarist so cannot comment on its use for ukelele, violin etc.

This is a comparison between the 'Fender FT-004' & the 'Korg AW 2'. Initially after some research ..testing a borrowed clip-on tuner & reading reviews - I was wanting a neat, non-wacky, 'pro', accurate unit. I settled on the Korg AW 2. After a year I thought I'd buy another for my second guitar, so got the Fender FT-004. They both tune through vibration - the best method in my opinion; the Korg can be switched from 'Mic' to 'Piezo' (use Piezo), the Fender is 'vibration' only. I'm using classical guitars, though have on occasion used the Korg just as well on a steel-string guitar. Comparing side by side on the same guitar, both are neat and professional looking. First off in differences ..the clip: the Korg's double ball-joint is always un-popping itself, a nuisance, we all lean our guitars on a wall, or put the tuner in a carry box, etc, ..it keeps dislocating itself from the clip, no big deal but it will happen and its annoying. The Fender has a simple hinge & rotating plate mount - it can't un-pop, you lose one angle of rotation but I prefer its solidity. Back light, the Korg has an 'on' or 'off' button, the Fender is always 'on' - maybe this means less battery life but always on is fine by me (also the colour changes with the Fender). * The main and most important difference is in the method of tuning. The Korg uses a very fast sample period (maybe <1/10 sec) resulting in a very precise and lively reading, the detailed digital gauge is also very wide in its throw (the unit is wide compared to the vertical design of the Fender) this results in a more 'nervous' style of tuning - harmonics produced by the guitar's body and the plucked string settling into its frequency causes the needle to fluctuate - yet accurately picking up those stray frequencies. The Fender seems to have a slower sample period (~0.5sec) ironing-out fluctuations, this averaging does make it marginally less accurate, + the digital gauge doesn't have the detailed analogue realism offered by the Korg, and the Fender settles on the 'correct tuning' more readily while the Korg says slightly up or down. Over the course of a day, in different temperatures, guitars change tuning subtly, using the Korg you might be endlessly tweaking - its a technical tuner, the Fender is more confident in saying 'yes' & is more solid - it tunes like a trained ear 'that's it, now play!' My verdict is both are great, the Korg has the edge in terms of detailed accuracy, the articulated joint is a sore point though - too delicate; the Fender has a nice solid confidence about it, and in this I prefer it as my ready dependable tuner. Their differences may swing it one way or another for you ..if you play the lute get the Korg, if you play live-gigs with a steel-string get the Fender, if you play classical guitar you might end up getting both!

I clip this to my bottom E tuning peg (on both my strat and Taylor acoustic) so it doesnt damage the guitars wood and it works wonderfully from there. Its only needed for a few moments to bring all the strings to super close to correct pitch, so the battery is hardly ever used. Tiny adjustments by ear after that make perfect. I've not once been disappointed. It was taking me a lot longer to tune my guitar with an E tuning fork before this, and those odd times I struggled to get it right are gone. An ideal tuner, so small and simple. Very quick to indicate correct tuning. Just dont lose it, its not easy to find!

I got to tune my guitar 1 time, and since then its been broken. Tuner doesn't seem to pick up anything any more. It worked perfectly, but only once through 6 strings.

Ottimo, consigliatissimo. Bello e va benissimo anche se potrebbe essere più preciso, io lo preferirei più sensibile quindi piu indaginoso ma con una accordatura più precisa. Luminoso e pratico.

Petit, pratique, très lisible, se monte et démonte facilement (merci la pince !) Seul petit bémol quand on est gaucher ben..... faut faire avec et s'accomoder d'une posture un peu farfelue pour bien lire. Peut-être que ça peut se démonter et que l'écran peut changer de sens, à voir !

Piccolino ma efficace, attaccato sulla paletta tramite pinzetta è come non averlo rispetto agli accordatori più ingombranti. consigliato anche per il prezzo pagato.

非情に良いです👍 他のと、比べても 問題なく気に入ってます! チューニングが、 早くなりました!

Produit conforme arrivé dans les temps. Acheté pour faire un cadeau, je n'ai pu faire qu'un accordage rapide et sommaire sans peaufiner avec, quand la personne est venue le chercher, mais il est aparemment bien sensible (je l'avais positionné sur un bout de la tête de la guitare assez fin pour l'accueilir, tête trop épaisse pour la pince ailleurs sinon, pas idéalement placé pour un accordeur normalement, et il a répondu à toutes les cordes sans coup férir) et plutôt fiable dans ses mesures. Très petit et discret, mais bien lumineux et facile à lire. La pince ne conviendra pas à toutes les têtes, car petite avec une ouverture limitée, et forcer pourrait la casser. Mais sur du Fender (strat, tele, etc) ou du gibson (Les Paul, SG, ...) et équivalant en épaisseur, pas de souci! Les piles sont des piles boutons, qui ne doivent pas avoir une durée démentielle, mais la taille de l'accordeur oblige. Un bon petit outil, esthétique et qui peut se glisser partout même dans une poche de jean (attention quand même à ne pas casser la pince dans ce cas), ou rester à demeure sur la tête d'une guitare sans en gâcher l'esthétique par une protubérance disgracieuse. Je recommande.
