Has anyone tried these? Chris Broderick mentioned them on his forum, and they could be a solution for the old 'tapping vs. fingerpicking' question regarding nail length.

What sort of results do you get with them in terms of comfort and tone? Is there an adjustment period involved?

I really can't tell the difference, and it saves my fingernails. It took me about an hour to trim them to the right length, but after that it was all good.

Awesome. I might order some when I have some money to spare...
