Fender FCT-2 Professional Clip-On Tuner

The Fender FCT-2 Clip-On Tuner is a must-have for any musician. It’s incredibly compact and fits easily in my gig bag or pocket. The display is bright and easy to read, even in low light, and the tuning is fast and accurate for a variety of instruments. I love how it swivels and clips securely without damaging my headstock. Whether I’m at home, in the studio, or on stage, this tuner delivers consistent performance. Fender nailed it with this one!

accurate, easy to use, small but a tad hard to see,

Works awesome! Its easy. For Guitar put it on G with the mode button. Its that easy. Size is awesome. Very small. Easy to see. Seems strong enough just dont be dropping it all the time.

For context, I have limited experience playing the guitar. I dabbled a bit in college (15 years ago), but am no musician. We got my son a Loog Pro guitar for christmas (small 3-string acoustic guitar for kids) and I ordered this tuner to go with it. I assumed you would set it to Guitar mode (G) for a guitar and tried to tune it. It absolutely would not work. I was so frustrated. As I adjusted the tuning pegs in attempt to tune the guitar, the tuner consistently registered the same note, even as the pitch of the string fluctuated significantly. I only kept trying for so long because I was assumed I was doing something wrong. Eventually, I came back to Amazon and read through reviews hoping someone else had experienced this issue and written about it. (After all, how could it have such high reviews if it didn't work?!) Thanks to another reviewer, I learned that apparently it needs to be set to Chromatic (C) for an acoustic guitar. I changed the mode and the tuner instantly worked and I was easily able to tune the guitar. All of this frustration could have been prevented if there had been instructions to put it in chromatic mode for an acoustic guitar on the box or on the small piece of paper inside the box. Not everyone who purchases a tuner is already experienced enough to know something like that. So it works great, but knocking off a star for a frustrating experience that could have been prevented with some instructions.

Easy to use. Accurate. Good price.

This Fender guitar tuner works great. It is easy to use. I bought it for my 6 string acoustic guitar and my husband's ukulele. I clipped it on as shown in the directions and started strumming the E (first string) and the tuner showed whether I needed to tighten or loosen the string until indicator on the tuner was in the center of the screen. I then tuned the following strings until the guitar was tuned. Easy peasy. The screen on the tuner is rather small and the item itself was small, however other reviews warned me about this, therefore I expected the same. It's worth the money and I am happy with the product.

I love this tuner. Easy to use for all levels of experience and has options for Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, and simply as a chromatic tuner.

Came with the CR2023 battery separately and not inside. Just an FYI. Needed a phillips screwdriver to open it up to put the battery in. At first I was like, it's not turning on WTF. Then I realized it. Not a big deal, but might surprise some people out there. Works great!!! Used a phone tuner the day before and it showed that it was off quite a bit. Now it sounds perfect, good stuff!!
