" ... heavy duty metal clip too its no joke. ... "
" ... This is the gold standard for clip-on tuners. ... "
" ... Snark tuners are much cheaper and mine are durable. ... "

" ... A nice bump or pimple on top of the button that I can now EASILY depress with my left hand (im righty) while it is clipped to the headstock and i am sitting holding the guitar in the playing position . ... "
" ... Clips on really tight to the headstock (playing a fender jazz and a rickenbacker). ... I went through multiple cheap SNARKs and this is hands down way better. ... "
" ... Use the clip on polys on my acoustics, use poly3 on my main board. ... "
" ... Works great and looks subtle as it hangs out on the neck! ... "
" ... The clip version is good at this, but, for what ever reason, refuses to pick up the G string. ... "

" ... However the buttons are not good at all. ... It is really hard to turn on and off without pressing other function buttons. ... The buttons are pretty shallow and shall and since it is on the top, it is not visible as you are paying and tuning the guitar, so pressing the on/off button accurately is difficult. ... "
" ... The only button that does anything after that is the upper right button which changes it to picture 2. ... "
