Great Tuner for Quick, Accurate Readings
I recently purchased the Fender "Bullet" Chromatic Clip-On Tuner for my guitar, and I’ve been really impressed with it. The design is compact and easy to clip onto the headstock, making it super convenient for tuning on the go. The LED color screen is bright and clear, showing the tuning status with easy-to-read indicators, which makes tuning quick and straightforward, even in low-light settings.The tuner is very responsive, providing accurate readings even for small tuning adjustments. It works well for both guitar and bass, and I love how it automatically detects the pitch when I strum or pluck a string. The clip feels secure and doesn’t slip, so I don’t have to worry about it falling off mid-session.Overall, I’m very happy with this tuner. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and does the job perfectly without any hassle. If you’re looking for an affordable and effective clip-on tuner, this is a great choice.

Great little tuner
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!

Solid Tuner
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!

Love at first tune
Here are some quick pros:- Not only does it indicate the note letter it will also detect if the note played is too flat or too sharp.- The display may be small but it has everything you need to tune.- Brightness of the letters are perfect.- Lightweight and compact, easy to fit into a small pocket, some tuners look like transformers and are too big for their purpose, this looks sleek.- Comes pre fitted with two LR44 button cell batteries.- It can be adjusted to pretty much ANY angle.- It knows how to preserve its own battery life, turns off automatically after 10 mins of inactivity.- Super fast I had no trouble tuning and does not consume a lot of time, just clip onto headstock and play.- Accurate, it relies on vibrations of the note played.Also, the Packaging! Some products require you to rip the plastic off in order to get to the gem, not this one. You just slide it up and then the tuners out, it’s great if you decide to resell it as it still looks new.Cons, only 1!- Screen is not anti glare which might be annoying if you need a quick tune up on a sunny day outside.Overall I really recommend this tuner. The pros outweigh the con, and the con issubjective to me and my personal experience so it might not matter to you!

Terrible tuner.
When switching it on sometimes it decides to work and sometimes it decides not to do anything. Really poor tuner. Horrible tiny display. Not worth getting. After years of playing guitar and having several tuners this is the most pointless one I've ever come across.
