G7th Performance 3 Guitar Capo - 18kt Gold Plate - 52mm - Adaptive Radius Technology, Precise for Tuning, Unique Tension Control for Easy One-Handed Use - 6 String Acoustic and Electric Guitars

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 is a high quality capo that works great on guitars with good setups. I’ve seen most of the negative comments here and the ones with the negative comments with a photo/video have issues with their action or neck. If your guitar is setup properly, barring any quality setback with the capo itself that you receive, you should be fine.

Lost my old adjustable spring capo, and had a gift card from work for Veteran's Day so I splurged on this one to replace it. I have to say that it's all its hyped up to be. It is easy to seat with just enough even tension to be buzz free without bending one or more strings out of tune. It's also small and doesn't have parts sticking out so it's unobtrusive. The build quality if excellent. Not as cheap as some capos, but in this case one really does get what they pay for.

This is a very well made, quality capo. I love the feel & ease of use of this capo.

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.

I love the G7th performance 3. At our weekly bluegrass jam, keys change so quickly between songs that I’m always late with my heritage capo. The design of the performance 3 makes moving up the neck virtually instant and with perfect tension. Great design; quality construction, lifetime warranty. Definitely recommend.

I brought this $50 capo because I was under the impression it would work better than the Shubb capo I've used for years. The G7th doesn't work at all on my Taylor 712. I still get string buzz no matter how I adjust the capo. Save your money, this thing is a rip off.

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

Buzzes more than half the time. My Dunlop trigger fly does the job much better at half the price, almost always right each time.

Good solid easy and nice looking capo

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.
