Performance 3 6 String Celtic Gold Guitar Capo - Groundbreaking Tension Control & Adaptive Radius Technology - The Perfect Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitar - UK Designed

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.

This capo is a work of art. Form meets function. I bought one for myself and then one for a friend. I highly recommend it for its high quality construction, performance and beauty.

I have been playing guitar professionally on and off for over 40 years. I have owned many, many capos, from old ones with a small bungee holding, basically, a stick, to the “one Handed” ones, to the screw vice type. I have never thought much about the capo being important enough to spend much money on, until I got this one. The ease of use alone is worth the money, but the way if works without changing the tuning, almost at all, is amazing. Using a very good strobe tuner, I found that the 6th string would be about two “ticks” on the calibration sharp, while all others were one or less. This was not enough for me to tell that it was not perfect. Putting my old (pretty good) capo on the 5th fret and playing a chord, and then using the G7th Performance 3 ART on the same fret, the difference was striking, very noticeable. I have been playing out of tune any time I used a capo all my life, apparently. This one is pretty small, and fits very well on my Telecaster, but if you take care when putting it on, it also works well with my Takamine acoustic/electric. Granted, this is a 5/6 scale guitar, and I have not tried this on any others, I am really hoping it fits on my Ovation. I doubt seriously that it will fit at all on my 12 string, but I don’t play that one very much anyway. So, in conclusion: Best capo I have ever tried. I am very pleased with the purchase, and will be using only G7th ART in the future. I HIGHLY recommend this produce, even to the casual player, this well worth the investment.

I've tried a lot of capos, and this one is currently my favorite. Spring-loaded capos cause too many tuning issues, so it's nice to have one that only clamps as hard as you want/need it to. It's a bit pricy, but worth it.

This is my review of the G7th Performance 3 Capo with ART (Steel String Satin Black). I've owned a variety of capos. The first one of these I picked up while traveling, and I was a little hesitant because it was expensive compared to others I've owned. That being said I fell in love with it's quick release mechanism and unobstructed design. I frequently use a capo, often in different positions, and this capo is so easy to move and has excellent pressure on the strings. What I like even more is how compact it is, with no arms/levers. I've owned several of these now, and the one negative experience I had was one that started locking up on me (the quick-release mechanism wouldn't release for some reason). I didn't realize this at first, but the capo can be pulled apart at the hinge into two separate pieces. I managed to get the capo to release, pulled it apart and reseated it, and it went back to functioning as normal.

I have always used the Kyser capo's for all my guitars. I recently purchased a Godin A6 Ultra, which uses 10 gauge acoustic strings, and the Kyser capo's, not matter where in between frets it was or how it was positioned, would make the guitar go out of tune. It would go out of tune so bad the guitar wasn't playable with the Kyser capo on. I did a lot of research and tweaking to my Godin, but nothing was helping. I could have used thicker strings, which I tried, but the Godin didn't like anything thicker than the 10 gauge. I read an article that talked about this G7th Performance capo, which at first just sounded like an advertisement because I was very skeptical a different capo would fix the problem, especially because it was much more expensive than any capo I have ever purchased. So I researched this exact G7th Performance capo some more and found that many people were saying the same thing about how great this capo is. So, I ordered one figuring I could return it if it didn't work. But, it DID work, and works really well. I can capo any fret and the guitar stays in tune - it maybe goes out a little depending on the fret, but good enough that the guitar chords still sound good. You still (at least on my Godin) have to take a little time to figure out exactly where the sweet spot is as if it's a little out of tune, you can move the capo a little closer to a fret or further away (more in between the frets) and that puts the guitar back into tune. And a little time is needed to figure out the 'sweet spot' of the tightness the capo needs or you may get a little fret buzz if it's too loose, and it might go a little more out of tune that you'd like if it's too tight. All and all, this is a GREAT capo. I'm very satisfied. I do play acoustic shows about every weekend so I have put this to the test. The only thing you want to make sure you do is keep an eye on the capo and don't forget it! It's an expensive little piece of equipment to leave behind! Hope this helps.

It's ok, But I feel like I'm just justifying it because I spent too much on it, I think the rubber surface that presses on the strings should be a bit harder to have a better hold on the notes

Compact en handig. Werkt goed (en snel) + zit niet in de weg bij bepaalde akkoorden

Good solid easy and nice looking capo

It's actually very good. I was a bit sceptical about the claim to keep things in tune, but it does work according to my tuner. Very easy to put on and release. It has a slim profile so doesnt get in the way when playing. Personally I think it's worth the money. It locks in place securely on the top of the headstock too, so easy to keep with the guitar when not in use. The only potential issue is it fits a standard guitar up to about fret 10. This is fine for most people as you'd not go higher than this, but if you have a slightly wider fret board or a vintage guitar that is wider than normal (not fatter, wider) then you may find it doest fit properly over the high e string earlier than fret 10. For the ease of putting it on and that it actually does keep the tuning correct on all strings, I'd recommend it.

Purchased this for my partner who plays Celtic guitar. He was so impressed with how well it works. He said there was no give or movement to it once it is placed. Very well made.
