I love the soundhole tuner. I prefer the NS capo.

I pull pins with my teeth.

Thanks Toby. Never had prob with trusty old Shubb, or getting pins out with a spoon, but my next tuner'll be one o those soundhole ones for sure.

I've never got along with G7th capos and, contrary to the accepted wisdom on here, I love my Kyser capo which I bought about 20 years ago.

I do like the look of that tuner, though.

I love the soundhole tuner. I own five. Sold my G7th capo and now use a couple of Thalia capos.

Neck-Up guitar support, I can't play without one.

Elliott Capo's - pricey but once you use one, you'll never go back.

Thomastik Infeld Plectrum strings - again pricey but (to my ears) consistently good on every acoustic guitar I own and very long life (which offsets the cost).

I actually have a D'Addario headstock tuner, a G7th capo (and many others), and a Snapz pin puller.

I am considering a couple of soundhole tuners.
But my favorite at this time is the Polytune clip on.

I finally got a G7th Newport, the 12 string variety... doesn't play nice with either of my 12 strings, but works great on my 6 string Taylor.

After avoiding headstock tuners for the look I've done a 360, I've got D'Addario Planet Waves micro headstock tuners on all my acoustics and I'm a big fan. Very unobtrusive and they work, I really like the convenience of having a tuner on the guitar.

I'll have to try a G7th Newport, I've been using the G7th Performance (in both versions) and i like those.

I've used other brands in the past but this is my new favorite neck support, great design.

Hey Toby you were the one that got me turned on to the Fender FT-1620 tuner. I can't keep up. :-)


That's alright I'm fine with the Fender tuner.

That's a great tuner as well. Once that NS came out, I thought the idea of 'hiding' a tuner in the soundhole was much better.

Those are also great capos and if you're into craftsmanship and can afford the $$$, then it's not bad.
