Grabtune Acoustic Guitar Capo-Tuner | 2 In 1 Equipment | Precise and Accurate Tuning System | Full Color LED Edge Lighting Display | USB Rechargeable Battery | Chrome Plating (Black)

The tuner is intuitive and easy to use, although not quite as much so as a tuner with a more continuous display, of course. I have a black model and depending on the lighting, the letters on the surface are indeed a bit hard to read if viewed at an angle but it's not generally a problem if you're looking straight down on them as when in a normal capo position. It's just that the surface is shiny (and nice looking) but this hurts readability. Those letters are much harder to read when the capo is clipped on the headstock at an angle away from you, but there are also letters on the lights, so once it lights up you can see which letter it is, even when tuning in the dark! The lights are also in alphabetical order so you can tell just by counting (D=4, F=6, etc).INITIAL REVIEW: The capo is disappointing, however. I got this for a steel string guitar and noticed it doesn't have enough force to hold down the strings. This results in partially muted strings. Works fine for my nylon string guitar but full size steel strings have too much string tension for this capo. It is therefore pretty useless as a capo for a steel string guitar.UPDATE: I took out the spring (in an attempt to find a stiffer one) and when I put it back in, I found the force was now enough for my steel string guitar! I can only assume the spring orientation made a difference and maybe the extra one wrap of spring wire under the trigger-side gave the spring just enough extra force. If you have trouble with too much or too little force, maybe try rotating the spring? I haven't experimented any more so can't say for sure but it appeared to work for me.Generally it's built pretty solidly and looks great. Now that the tension works for my steel string AND nylon, I'd say it's as perfect as I'd want.

It's small, compact, and smooth, looks beautiful, it's accurate on tone detection, and easily visible for tunning.For using as capo, works really good, and as it is clean and small, it will not interfere with your fingering.Yes, it's small (I like how it looks because of that) and you may experience difficulties to see the letters in the tunning lights, so, if you don't know the order of the first 7 letters in the alphabet you may struggle in low light conditions to assess what note you are playing ;). (or if not used to anglo note naming).If your guitar already has a tuner, you don't really need this capo-tuner, but I prefer the tunning located in the mast, it's more natural to see both the tuner and my hand adjusting the strings. Not a huge necessity of course, most guitar players don't need to see their hands to move them around the guitar, but I find it convenient, and as my guitar doesn't have a built in tunner, this little piece is great for me.

Simply fantastic. With tech what it is I've long awaited a capo/tuner combo that made sense and worked. Others I've used in the past were either way too big to be comfortable as a capo, or too inaccurate to be a stage tuner. This fits the bill perfectly. Tuner is dead on 440. A bit on the heavy side for ukulele but still functional. Strong spring provides ample tension on steel acoustic strings. High quality construction, although the tuner cavity feels like it will be the point of failure if and when it does break. It already took a decent fall and held up, but I would imagine someone who is rough on their gear finding it a weak point. For me, I think it will last a couple of years in and out of the bag. Feels good in the hand and stays out of the way on the neck. Overall, very pleased.

As a capo it works fine, as a tuner it works fine. The problem is the letters are so small, I just count the lights. The lights are plenty bright; green for in tune, blue for low, red for high. That all seems straight forward but if you are changing strings and way far away from the tone, two blue lights light up and I end up going back to the old fashioned way to get close then the capo allows me to dial it in. I have better tuners for sure but the combination of capo and tuner saves space and is a nice combo for my knock around guitar. It serves its purpose and I can recommend it for casual use. I wouldn't gig with it.

Works as described !

I really really REALLY wish that it had fit, but classical guitars have a wider neck, and this capo isn't long enough.The tuning was great, and the capo itself was awesome. But it didn't fit, so I had to return it :(

Letters above the LED are a bit difficult to read because of their white colour on top of a shiny background. Other than that this tuner/capo is pretty responsive and easy to figure out. Blue=flat, Red=sharp, Green=in tune. Easy Peasy...didn't need the manual for that. It easily fits the entire width of my PRS S2 which has a Wide Fat neck and width at the nut of 1-21/32" as well as no issues at the 12 fret. Now, if they could only add a simple metronome, it would be perfect!!!

Easier to tune guitar. like the style of this one.
