Features
- RELIABLE TUNING, NO MATTER WHERE YOU PLAY: By sensing vibrations directly from the instrument, tuning stays accurate in loud venues, quiet practice rooms, and everything in between, so you can focus on playing, not compensating for your environment
- VISUAL FEEDBACK THAT GUIDES, NOT DISTRACTS: The color LCD needle display responds quickly and clearly, moving naturally toward center pitch, you know exactly where you stand at a glance, making tuning faster and more intuitive
- ONE TUNER THAT WORKS ACROSS YOUR INSTRUMENTS: With dedicated modes for Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Violin, and Chromatic tuning, this tuner adapts to your setup instead of limiting it, one device handles a wide range of playing needs with confidence
- DESIGNED TO FIT NATURALLY ON YOUR HEADSTOCK: The dual-hinge clip adjusts smoothly on either side of the headstock, giving you a comfortable viewing angle while staying subtle and unobtrusive during use
- CONSISTENT SETUP YOU CAN RELY ON: A wide B0 to B7 tuning range, standard A440 calibration, and an included CR2032 battery mean this tuner works reliably from the moment you clip it on, with no unnecessary setup or adjustment
Description
Convenient and unobtrusive, the FCT-2 multi-function clip-on tuner helps ensure your instrument is always in tune, even on dark stages. Its handles noisy environments with ease thanks to its built-in vibration sensor. The color LCD display’s easy-to-read needle indicates how close to pitch each note is, and moves to the center of the display once the note is in tune. The FCT-2’s dual-hinge design allows you to mount the tuner on either side of your instrument's headstock.

I've been having a lot of trouble tuning my Squire Strat using a phone app. Decided to give this Fender tuner a try and I am VERY pleased! It's super easy to use, don't need to be plugged into an amp and works with various instrument other than just the guitar (like my 4-string bass). I could never get intonation to work with the phone app but this tuner made it a snap! All six strings tuned and intonated in only 5 minutes! Well worth the price, I highly recommend this tuner!

Easy to use and very accurate- tune guitar in just a few minutes. Easy clip onto guitar neck- turn for easy reading

Wonderful tuner. Perfect size. Well made. I like that it uses a battery as opposed to recharging. Very accurate. Highly recommend.

Works great on my accoustic guitar. A little harder to tune my bass guitar with this. The graph on screen showing the “sweet spot” doesn’t always appear when I twang each string separately
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2026 by Chris Bridges
First of all, this tuner seems to do its job very nicely. Many of the reviews here mention it does a good job, even "very precise". I think this is the most important thing about this cute gadget. The complaints I've seen have to do with other stuff: (Everybody is entitled to their opinion, I guess, but I somewhat disagree with many of the complaints I read.) "Hard to remove battery cover": If you expected a "no tools cap", this is not it. But, as far as having to use a "special screwdriver", no; and I think that's an unfair comment (It makes you think you need something like one of those triangular-shaped screwdrivers that some handheld gaming consoles use. Nothing like that). It's a Phillips screw. That's very standard in my book. Granted, it's not a #2 Phillips size; you need a #1, but come on, that's like the second-most-common Phillips screwdriver size! Plus, as you unscrew it, it will pull the battery holder out. The screw stays in place, so no risk of it falling and getting lost. It's actually a very nice design. "The battery dies quickly": I just got it, so I can't attest to this, but I suspect this is actually true. MAYBE that's why the manual says: "Remove the battery from the unit when not in use for extended periods of time. I'd say that's fair game. (You are supposed to read the manual, right?) I suspect what's going on here is that this little unit doesn't have a true power on/off switch (the button is just for turning off the screen). And I think this has to do with the price. Would I prefer it had a proper power-off switch? Of course! But, considering it's already hard to find these kinds of gadgets without an internal battery (see pros/cons below), if that's what I have to concede, it's fine. "It uses a rare, costly battery": No it doesn't! The CR2032 is probably the most common "coin" battery nowadays, and it is not expensive at all (I mean, you can look that up here on Amazon). "Insufficient instructions": If you are expecting a "tuning manual" or a QR code to a YouTube video, you'll be disappointed. Again, for the price, this could have come with no manual at all. I find the manual adequate and sufficient: it does provide detailed information on how to operate the device, although it won't teach you how to tune an instrument. (I think this is like buying a guitar, and expecting it'll come with "instructions" on "how to play a guitar". It might come with some information on how to operate the string tensors, but I don't think anybody expects to learn how to use it from "its manual".) "It reads all strings right, except one": I find that REALLY hard to believe. It's not like it has a separate sensor and separate circuitry inside, for each string. If it reads fine 5 of 6 strings, do you really think the unit is defective? If it detects, say, the 6th string as the 5th, but all the others are detected fine, do you think the tuner is the problem? Isn't it much more probable that the 6th string is way out of tune? Or maybe even: a 5th string was mistakenly installed in place of the 6th? I'm not saying you can't get a lemon; it's an electronic device and of course there could be defective ones, but this so very specific kind of defect I find very hard to believe. Maybe I'm wrong, but before returning it for something like that, I think it's worth testing it with another instrument or making really sure the problem isn't the string, instead of the tuner. Pros: No rechargeable battery inside: Yes, this is a pro for me. (If you prefer that, it exists.) I really don't see how having to remember to first charge this with a USB cable (until, eventually, its tiny battery fails, which then won't be replaceable) is better than just keeping a couple of CR2032 and a small Ph1 screwdriver with it. This "convenience", of having an integrated rechargeable battery, I find rather very inconvenient; and it makes the device considerably more expensive. No, thank you. Or rather: Thank you so much for offering the CR2032 alternative. Modes: It offers dedicated modes for Chromatic, Guitar, Bass, Violin, and Ukulele. So far, I have only used it for Guitar, and it worked nicely. String detection: In addition to displaying the note being detected, it will tell you what string it's picking up (number to the left of the note). A feature I really wasn't expecting, but found very useful. Three hinges on the clip: I don't see how some people find it hard to position. I thought it would have only one (2 max) point of adjustment. It's very adjustable. Wide clip: I was sure (by its pictures) the clip would be flimsy and wouldn't open wide enough. I was wrong. Well, I hope it doesn't break, but so far I haven't read anybody complaining of that. Cons: No true switch-off button: This is not a deal-breaker for me, but of course, it would be better to be able to just leave the battery in. Maybe it would cost a bit more if it had it… I would pay for that feature. It comes with the battery: Why is this a con? Because it creates an unnecessary complication (and potential problem) for shipping. As I said, CR2032 are common and not hard to come by. Maybe it would even be cheaper if they left the battery out. Furthermore, the battery is unbranded and probably not a good one. Conclusion: I'll update this review if something goes wrong, but so far, I highly recommend this product.

Quick shipping! Value for the money is pretty good. Device works great and is good for tuning the guitars I have.

I find the screen very readable. It's not meant to be read until it lights up, and that becomes obvious very fast. I LOVE the fact that this is NOT rechargeable, planned obsoletion, designed. I don't mind changing batteries for something that will long outlast the battery. There was one issue I had for putting in the battery. The screw was super tight. So after I had it out I put a few drops of WD40 on the screw and left it sit a few minutes as I put the battery in and then the screw went in super easy. I didn't tighten it too tight because it was crazy to get out to begin with. I purchased this to replace another brand I got when I purchased my acoustic guitar, because I hate rechargeable batteries that are built into products and cannot be taken out or changed for regular batteries or new rechargeable batteries. Thank you for making it so it can last a long time. You CAN turn it off. All you have to do is press and hold the power button until it shuts off. It's not forced to be on until it decides to shut off. I've noticed other reviewers mentioned that they didn't see a power off button, but it's there! It's just a different function of the power button by pressing and holding it until it shuts off.
