- Guitar Player’s Nails: (Here is a glowing recommendation from a JCGS member.) “Just thought I’d let you know. If anyone you know is having trouble with their nails, these work great. I’ve been using them for a couple of months now and I get a great range of tone, they don’t wear, and they’re really tough. I don’t think I’m going to use my real nails anymore.” Dave Kear
