"D'Addario strings are the best! They last a long time and have great tone and volume. I've been using them for years. Nothing else comes close... Thanks for making such incredible strings, D'Addario!"

"I like having a secret weapon like the NS Micro Soundhole Tuner. No longer do I have to have a huge tuner hanging off the headstock of my guitar! These tuners are incredibly accurate and easy to read on stage! I love them!"
