G7th Performance 3 Capo with ART (Steel String 18kt Gold Plate)

Great product. Simple and easy to use.

By FAR the best capo I've used in my 50+ yrs of playing

Best capo for staying in tune, presses strings straight down evenly without pulling sideways as it tightens like other capos. Results are no re-tuning required!

Best capo I ever had - and I have over the years tried all of them. It is somewhat expensive - but it you want a pro quality one that keeps you well in tune - go for it! (just don't lose it or lend it to someone in your band who doesn't give it back)!

OK - This thing is about as small as you can imagine. Literally fits into the palm of your hand. Also, this Capo provides great sound from a guitar's strings - as long as it's a six string. I have a seven string and can use this capo, but only up to about the 5th fret before the high E string is either only partially touched - causing a muted buzz. If you have a six string - GREAT capo. If you have a 7 string - still a great capo, but only up to about the 5th fret. I'm imagining if you have an 8 string you will want to find another capo.

Best capo I've ever owned, minimal adjustments needed.

I was so excited to get one of these as I've seen so many positive reviews. I have three guitars. Two acoustic and one Fender Strat. It's takes so much effort to get it to work. I'll struggle with it five or six time until I can get it to work without fret buzz. It rarely works on my Takamine acoustic. I have better success on my Maton but not by much. My electric, Fender Strat forget about it. I can get it to work, but then it's out of tune. I've watched numerous videos to see if I am doing it wrong. Sorry, I'm returning this.

Different capos work well with some guitars and some not. What I might use on a certain acoustic may not work well with some of my electrics. That being said, I play out professionally and my guitar of choice on stage is a Gretsch Duo-Jet. I went through a few different capos over the years, dissatisfied with all of them for the two big reasons, tuning distortion when I put the capo on so I had to re-tune every time I put the capo on or moved it. Reason two was that when I bent strings, quite often the string would not return to the original position. The G7 absolutely solved those problems. You have total control over the pressure you want to apply when putting it on. That makes a huge difference right there. You need different pressures depending on far far up the neck you are placing it. I have found with practice that I can put it on and stay pretty much in tune. Maybe adjust the low E a tiny bit, but not much. And when I bend, the strings stay in place. This is not a cheap capo, but well worth it IMO.
