Great pick

If you like softer picks or play a lot of strumming, this pick is ideal for you.

I use it almost only for strumming because for my gauge of strings it is a little too soft. But it has great projection and good sound. It doesn't ware out quickly, so it will stay good sounding for a long time.

I never had a problem with grip or rotating around in my hand.

Good strings for the price

The first strings I have tried for my classical guitar. I was very happy with the sound and the feel and since recommended them to fellow guitarists. But sometimes I wished for a bit more tension. Then I found alternatives. In my opinion, the price is great for the sound and the quality. With those strings you can further more participate in the "D'Addario Players circle"-Programme.

But I would recommend them for people who prefer lower tension strings or beginners.

Best nylon strings

Those are the best nylon guitar strings I know! Besides having great tuning stability, they have great sound. The best.

They are high tension strings (I will recommend the low tension model as a similar item) The feel of the strings is great - I fell in love with them when I used them for the first time. They are playable for a very long time, and they don't corrode as quickly as other nylon strings I've tried

They have one flaw - they are quite expensive compared to their competitors. But they are absolutely worth the money

Great pick for very good price

I use this pick on my two electric guitars for everything; it feels great while picking (not too hard but not soft either) and as it comes in many colours it is fun to look at. It produces good sound and has great balance between crisp and mellow sound. If you tend to have very sweaty or very dry hands you could lose grip from time to time, but that didn't happen to me a lot.

Over all great pick I mainly use on electric guitar.

Good slide

I have used it on electric and acoustic guitars, and it works very well!

I played some Blues with it, and it gave me the typical round and full tone I looked for.

It is always a thing with slides; you have to try them out until you find the size that fits you best. Like with the picks, you need to feel comfortable using the slide.

Cool pick with great tone

I've tried a lot of picks over the years, and this is a very cool one. First of all, the sound: The sound is round and full, which is a beautiful feature. For me, it is a little too round. It could be a little crisper, but that is a personal preference.

The feeling you get from the pick is great, and it cuts through the strings nicely. It stays in your hand nicely!

In conclusion, one could say, a great choice!

Good quality guitar pick with a good sound

The stiffest and thickest version of Clayton's Ultem Gold series. It has a really good feel and the material, which is very similar to Dunlop's Ultex, has a great sound. The sound is bright and snappy as I like it if I need to be in the foreground of a gig or a recording.

The edges aren't shaped especially, with no bevel of any type. But apart from that a great pick of very good quality, which makes it very durable.

Good quality guitar pick with a good sound

The Clayton pick is great because of the stiffness it offers. But it is not super stiff but stiff enough -> great balance.

It has a very bright sound it may be too bright for some of you. But if you play a guitar with a generally warmer or duller tone you are going to like this pick. Its edges aren't shaped specially and that is the only downside of this pick, but once worn in a little it is great!

Great tuner

The D'Addario Eclipse Tuner is easy to use and works really well. It is a chromatic tuner and has two triangular-shaped buttons to adjust the frequency and the middle one to switch on and off.

The tuner is accurate and has good visibility even if you are in a bright environment. You can tune in every circumstance because the sound of other instruments does not affect your tuning result.

I had it for quite a while now and no sign of the battery fading, so the battery is long-lasting.

Good chromatic tuner

I've been using the same CA-30 tuner for over eight years now and I never had an issue with it, which really speaks for the durability of this tuner.

It reacts quickly and accurately to the pluck of the string. It has the cool feature that you can plug your electric guitar directly into the tuner via a jack-cable. In order to tune your electric even in the noisiest environments without issues.

You can even let the tuner play reference notes via the button on the right-hand side of the display. (The lowest one; the other two are for the frequency.)

Great Capo, Great Price

The Capo comes in at a great price and it is very durable too.

The Shubb S1 is easy to use and its adjustability makes it compatible with so many guitars and string gauges. The adjustability is the main point of this capo; you can adjust the pressure to eliminate string buzz and put less wear on your frets.

All in all a really good capo!

Very Good Acoustic Guitar Strings

I've tried these strings and even did a recording with them. They were very punchy at the beginning and that's what was the point I didn't like that much, but that may differ depending on your preference. Once these punchy highs faded just a little bit these strings are brilliant. They keep their sound for a very long time after their initial powerful highs. Another really good thing about these strings ist that they stay in tune like pretty much every other D'Addario string I've tried.

A little Bonus you get with these strings is, that you can redeem points for them in D'Addario's player's circle

Great Phosphor Bronze strings

I've tried through many Phosphor Bronze strings and these were the ones that didn't need any time to break-in. They sounded great and felt good from the first second onwards. Something that surprised me very much was that these strings didn't need any time to break in and sounded warm and very balanced. The balance in these is very surprising and very beautiful in these strings. They stayed in tune very well and were easy to tune in general. Their tone didn't fade quickly and stayed very high quality for a long time.

Greatest 80/20 Bronze strings I've tried so far.

I have been trying through many different strings in the last 1.5 years and these are clearly one of my favourites.

They offer cool clarity and projective tone through my Martin HD-28. They stayed in tune for a very long time and they did stay in tune very quickly after they were freshly strung. After the restring the strings felt good right away and they barely needed braking, which is really cool. Contrary to other 80/20 bronze strings they sounded good for longer than others I've tried, which is great so I don't need to change strings too often even if I want great tone quality.

I had a good feeling while playing these. I brought them to two gigs and they sounded really nice both times.

The best strings for electric guitar I've tried so far.

I'm using these strings for over a year now and they didn't show any bad sides. They stay in tune very well, which is a thing I very much appreciate, because that way I can pick up the guitar just for a really quick few chords or something and I don't need to worry that it sounds horrible. They keep their tone very well and it's not a too big fading in tone between new and used string. They offer a good feeling, which is very important. I find when you are using the guitar a lot, you don't want to be unhappy with the feeling the string gives you. You can fingerpick them as well what makes you feel a little like Mark Knopfler ;)

A very cool side-effect of using these. You can redeem points on D'Addario's player's circle.
