G7th G7C-P2BLK Performance 2 Guitar Capo, Black
Color:Black
In 2004, The Performance Original set a new standard in capo design. Players loved the way that it kept the guitar in tune, but wanted it to be smaller and lighter, without compromising the tone. All that has been impossible until now: ...
It was up until it stopped releasing easily, the thing broke on me during a gig
I decided to try this new version because a singer I follow online had some good things to say about hers.
When you first open it and hold it in your hand, the thing feels like a solid chunk of metal that has some serious weight to it.
The best thing about it is how it keeps the intonation even on higher frets
I figured, after reading many good things about this capo, that I might as well just stop wasting money on cheap capos and get something that will last
every day).I was getting constant string buzz and thought maybe it is my cheap guitar that is making that noise.after using this capo for a
It works perfectly with my acoustic electric fender Sonoran, all other guitars that I have used this capo with and my acoustic mandolin
I needed a new capo because the cheap Dunlop trigger capo I had been using was damaging the finish on my guitar's neck, as well as itself, with the spring grinding against the metal body
and you can't clamp it to the headstock when you're not using it (you can store it above the nut, but that interferes with how I hang my guitars)
I used to use a spring capo, which was okay, but I never really noticed how bad my guitar sounded when I had it on
I've tried over 10-15 pretty good Capo's in my life, and this is by far the best Capo I've ever used, so worth the higher price.
But I have always hated how tight they were (not to mention they're a real eyesore on your guitar) and I am no longer comfortable using them on my '94 Taylor 412RW
In my research, the biggest complaint I saw was getting used to how tight to squeeze it to get a solid hold on any location on the neck
But......I didn't like it that much as it is pretty inefficient if used on the first fret.
I would have given it 5 stars, but it has some difficulty with the low e string when used above the 7th fret on any of my guitars.
It works well without excessive pressure and doesn’t cause tuning issues
It is infinitely adjustable and does not pressure the strings out of tune.
I have bought other capos before but this really holds the notes where they should be at, unlike others that don't seem to apply enough pressure on strings.
There isn't enough pressure on all the strings to keep them from buzzing
The variable pressure basically assures it goes on without bending your strings too hard and forcing them out of tune: a common problem I have with standard spring clamp style capos, especially on higher frets.
Conclusion:If you are just a casual player that doesn't need the functionality of this capo, then you might want to hold your cash and buy a cheap capo and some strings or something
This would not properly fret the strings of my Taylor acoustic.
What I really like about it is how unobtrusive it is and how solid it presses the strings without bending them.
I was quite impressed with both the ease of using it and how it didn't muddy the strings nor pull them out of tune
Easy to useDurableCons:priceIt's expensive, but it is easily the best capo on the market that I've seen--unless you need a capo that can isolate specific/individual strings (too advanced for me).
NO buzzing, looks amazing - I would say definitely worth the seemingly premium price
Quick, one handed technique to change frets and clamps very securely over the string with no fret buzz
Personally, I hold it over the fret and squeeze slowly while strumming until there is no fret-buzz; this is in order to put miminal pressure on the strings
After reading the other reviews I was concerned I might get fret buzz with this, but I've used it several times on both my Martin acoustic (16" radius) and Fender Strat (9.5" radius), and didn't get any buzzing strings with either
what i really like is that the padded material is very forgiving and holds the strings without any fret buzz and never damages my guitars.

Not only have we made it slimmer and lighter, but we have also reversed it's patented clutch mechanism, which gives it a lightning fast squeeze-on, squeeze-off action
