Review: IT WORKS FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR! - I just wanted to come back and let anyone know who isn't sure that this works well for an electric or acoustic 6-string guitar. I was unsure when I purchased this how it worked and if it would also work for standard (EADGBE) guitars. The problem was that, when I asked desertcart's wonderful AI assistant "Rufus" if it would work on a six-string electric guitar, it answered with -- and this is verbatim: "No, this tuner is specifically designed for cellos and basses." (see image) Can you believe that? Do these companies realize they're using so-called "intelligence" that is driving away sales? It's pretty wild, eh? Anyway, rest assured that if you're looking for a low-cost reliable tuner that you can use for an electric or acoustic six-string guitar, this will do the job and well. Here are some highlights of this tuner: -Color display with fairly bright readout, especially in darker environments -Responsive readout of frequency/tune -I have calibrated this against another known and very accurate tuner and this one is fairly accurate as well. So if you're looking for a decent clip-on tuner and aren't sure if you want to pull the trigger on this, be assured that this will work with guitar.

A: This tuner (PW-CT-17CBK) has one lithium CR2032 battery included.

**Q: Does it tune accurately on electric bass guitars?**
A: Yes it does work great even with low “B” on the 5 string

**Q: Where does it clip on a bass? Can you tune it with finger picking, or do you have to use a bow?**
A: You would clip it onto the bridge of the upright bass. You can use either plucking or bowing techniques. As a bassist, myself, I recommend bowing, specifically while using the 12th fret harmonic, to get the best results.

A: I never see #.  I turn it on, clip it onto bridge and tune.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Use, and Precise.
*by E***O on May 27, 2024*

You cannot place it close to the instrument, it HAS TO BE ON THE INSTRUMENT. CLIPPED ON. PHYSICAL CONTACT! I press the "on" and read my strings... very easy to use. I don't bother turning it off , it does that by itself. It is so small that I never take it off; it is always on my bridge. Despite the convenient small size, the Screen is Large and in Colour. It is Easy to read. I love it, it is just lovely!
