I have an Elliott and it’s great. I bought mine used about 10 years ago. It still works just like it did when I got it I also have Shubb and Paige capos. They are both good capos as well, the Elliott for me is the best
I noticed that you didn't list any type of guitar cleaner or polish. What do you like to use for removing the age old sweat marks on the lower bout of the guitar?
Thanks, John and Jeremy. My issue with all the tuners you reccomended is that I cannot see them. Being legally blind, it seems the only one I can see is a Snark No. 2.
Is there a state where you don’t have to worry about humidity for a guitar. What about us in Oklahoma and Missouri Arkansas all those surrounding states that typically have ambient humidity almost constant?
I live in LA and the ambient humidity is between 45-60% year round. Sometimes will go above or below for a day or two but never stays out of that range for long. I mostly keep my guitars out unless i go on vacation and then they get cased and hidden away.
@@johnchapman4232 Hi John! Thanks for engaging and making sure I'm not setting myself up for heartbreak down the road. You are absolutely correct - when our A/C or heater goes on and off the humidity does fluctuate a bit but for the most part stays between 45-60%. I have a hygrometer/thermometer that sits on a table next to the guitar stands and I rarely will see it out of that range. Does it hurt the guitar to swing out of the recommended humidity range for just a few hours, if for most of the day it's within the range? I figure the amount of time these guitars are exposed to a humidity range outside of the recommended range during a 24-hour period isn't much more than a guitar that's in a more humid or dry climate and kept in a case, but gets taken out of the case and played for a few hours a day and then exposed to the humidity outside of the range while being played. And thanks for all of the wonderful content and music over the years. Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday and new year!
I have heard that acoustic guitars are safe in the state of bliss, but remember just across the border is the state of despair. 43-53% is my comfort zone. 47% at the moment.
Very informative, thank you! I like the Dunlop Prime Tone picks. Bluechips are good, too.
Love the video. Always nice to hear about items you don't hear about much. I would love to hear about acoustic amps also. Love you guys.

WRT string winders: I've had 2 D'Addario winders, and they have both come apart. My Music Nomad string winder and tool has outlasted them.
Hygrometers and strap locks are essential, even if you don't sell them.

I have had problems with Shrub capos. I agree that Kat Eyz capos ans Elliot capos are great and sound better.

Check your inside humidity. For most, between forced air heat, A/C houses do not maintain 50% humidity even in those regions.

@ that’s what I was thinking also

I have tried several metronomes and none of them keep the time right for me. LOL
Perhaps you should try a drum machine. Experiment 🎉 backing tracks first.
