A Revolutionary Capo!

Winner of Guitarist magazine's "Gold Award" in the UK, and an Acoustic Guitar magazine bronze award in the US, the G7th Performance capo is a completely new approach to capo design. It has none of the disadvantages of conventional capos, but instead offers enhanced performance and is simple to use. Not only that, it looks and feels great!

The G7th Performance capo's wrap spring clutch consists of just three elements: a fixed hub, a moving hub, and a spring whose inside diameter is just slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the two hubs. When the spring is forced over the two hubs, attempting to rotate in the direction which opens the capo wraps it down tightly on the hubs, positively engaging them.

Rotation in the other direction, to tighten the G7th capo onto the strings, is not restricted. To release the capo, the control tang is moved in the direction to unwind the spring, thus releasing the clutch.

Need an awesome easy to use capo? Get this one! I'm not a huge capo user, but I've been around long enough to use some less than ideal ones- this is the best I've ever used!

Well worth it!

It's expensive but well worth it. It's one handed use makes it as easy to use as a Kyser Quick Change. There'st no string buzz and no re-tuning. You gotta get this.

The Best Capo

Pricey for a capo, but well worth it. Unlike other brands (Kyser) where you'd have to re-tune your guitar after putting the capo on the neck, the G7th Capo applies just the right amount of pressure t... read more [+]o keep the notes from being muted or bending out of tune. Now, I have found my self transposing songs, that normally i wouldn't. The G7th capo fluidly changes keys and I don't have to deal with the hassle of re-tuning every time I move the capo up a fret or two, like with the traditional capo mentioned above! Solid brushed aluminum construction. Very low profile, doesn't get in your way at all.

If I had to choose one capo to take with on an some epic adventure... this would be the one. close [-]
