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.

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 [-]

Though I never had to retune with any capo ( the right pressure just behind the fret will do, btw) I tried the G7 for fun after loosing all my Shubbs. At first the weight might be a bit daunting. Feel... read more [+]s like a monkey wrench on my boutique flat-top, and it throws the balance a bit. (Don't drop that bad boy on your sound board) But it is super easy to use, and the dense mass seem to add tone and sustain. I like it a lot. Now the Shubbs feels a bit lightweight in contrast, still has its place in my tool box. close [-]

Solid Capo

A little practice to get comfortable with changing it, but it fits my guitar perfectly, leaves no marks, and frets the strings firmly. Very dependable performance.
