I’ve been using the Fender FCT-2 Professional Clip-On Tuner for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best little gadgets I’ve added to my music gear. This thing is a total game-changer for keeping my guitar in tune, whether I’m practicing at home or playing on a dimly lit stage. It’s compact, reliable, and just feels like a quality piece of equipment from a brand I trust. Here’s why I’m giving it a solid five stars, along with a couple of minor gripes. Pros: • Super Easy to Use: Clips right onto the headstock, powers on with one button, and you’re tuning in seconds. The color LCD screen is bright and clear, with a needle that moves to the center when you’re in tune—couldn’t be simpler! • Versatile Tuning Modes: It’s got settings for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, and chromatic, so it’s perfect for anyone who plays multiple instruments. I’ve used it on my acoustic guitar and electric bass, and it nails it every time. • Accurate and Responsive: The built-in vibration sensor picks up the string’s pitch flawlessly, even in noisy environments. No more struggling to tune when there’s chatter or background sound around. • Great Design: The dual-hinge clip lets me attach it to either side of the headstock, and it’s small enough to leave on without feeling obtrusive. Plus, it looks sleek in black—Fender’s got that style down. • Affordable Quality: For the price, you’re getting a tuner that feels sturdy and performs like a champ. It even comes with a CR2032 battery included, so you’re good to go out of the box. Cons: • Screen Angle Could Be Better: While the hinge is handy, it doesn’t always swivel enough to get a perfect viewing angle, especially on some guitars with thicker headstocks. I’ve had to tilt my guitar a bit to see it clearly. • Mode Switching Takes Attention: The single-button design is simple, but if you’re not careful, you might accidentally switch from chromatic to guitar mode (or another setting). It’s not a huge deal, just something to watch for in a hurry. All in all, the Fender FCT-2 is a fantastic tuner that’s become a staple in my gig bag. It’s accurate, user-friendly, and packs a lot of value for the money. The pros far outweigh the tiny cons, and I’d recommend it to any musician looking for a reliable clip-on tuner. Five stars all the way!

Just received this Fender FCT-2 tuner today (Imagine that: delivery on Easter Sunday!). This is a great little tuner and far exceeds my expectations. It replaces my ancient Fender X-1000 tuner which has always been difficult to use. This is easy to use and very accurate. If you're considering this tuner, here are a couple things that might help you. First, you'll have to install the CR2032 battery. To do that, you'll need to remove the small phillips screw at the top of the tuner using a #0 phillips head screwdriver (photo 1). As you turn the screw counterclockwise, it will lift the top of the tuner up from the body revealing the battery compartment, a small circular pocket (photo 2). Pull the top out and insert the battery with the + side facing you (photo 3). Now, re-insert the battery compartment into the tuner, engage the screw, and tighten it until the top is seated against the body of the tuner (photo 4). Press the power button on the front of the tuner. In my case, the first tuning mode to appear was G (for guitar), but you can continue to press the power button for other modes.

I've avoided getting one of these for many years since I can tune my guitars by ear, but sometimes the strings go out of tune ever so slightly, which I can hear while playing along with a song, but then when trying to fix those microtunings I have to spend more time than I like on it. This tuner saves me a lot of time. And I love the fact that it works on the guitar even if it's an electric guitar and not plugged in. More specifically, I use it for my bass, since I primarily play the bass guitar. I put it on, turn it on, and within a minute or two my bass guitar is perfectly in tune. And then a few days or a week later it might be very slightly detuned, and I just put this tuner back on and it's done.

I don’t know if I am using it correctly! Not a lot of information or instructions are not very clear!

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!

I have never had a Fender product that did do what it was intended to do. This tuner is no exception. Small, easy to use and does a great job of connecting to your instruments. For the price, I would buy this again.

Easy to use. The C on the device is for chromatic mode. This enables you to tune to whatever you want e.g. down half a step, open E, drop D &etc - change it back to G on the device and tune the strings back to standard. Hope this helps Thanks

Fender FCT-2, it works well with my mandolin. For those unfamiliar with mandolins, use the violin setting, both have the same tuning on the four string positions. The mandolin uses two strings tuned the same in place of one violin string position. I like that the display has enough contrast and a simple needle type scale so that I do not need reading glasses to use it. I also like that once i set the 'violin' mode, it will remember so that the next time I turn it on it is ready to go. Disclaimer: I am only a casual musician, not professional at all. I have been playing with an acoustic guitar for better than 40 years. I had an arm injury about four years ago that made the mandolin a lot less painful for me to play than a guitar. Strings are strings, I now enjoy picking on a mandolin. ;)

En mi caso, en una estrato, lo puedo colocar en la parte baja de la pala y no molesta para guardarla en su funda, en una española o guitarra tipo les paul se deberá pinzar en el extremo y supongo que molestará para guardar en su funda, pero cada caso será diferente, claro. Funciona muy bien y es muy rápido en la medición. La batería debe durar bastante, yo lo tengo varios meses y aún no la he cargado. Permite cambiar la orientación de la pantalla con respecto a la pinza de anclaje para hacerla visible aunque cambie el anclaje de la pinza.

el clip. de enganche con la cabeza de la guitarra, abre poco, quiero suponer que es nuevo y necesita uso, pero también puede ser que sea para guitarra eléctrica y no para clásica. el fabricante debería indicar para que tipo de guitarra es. la eléctrica es en la cabeza mas delgada que la clásica.
