The G7th Performance 3 capo is the culmination of years of designing, tweaking, and improving - but most importantly, listening to guitarists and their views on what a capo should do. Now, coupling our unique tension control system with the ground-breaking art string pad mechanism gives a near-perfect capo experience.

I was so excited to get one of these as I've seen so many positive reviews. I have three guitars. Two acoustic and one Fender Strat. It's takes so much effort to get it to work. I'll struggle with it five or six time until I can get it to work without fret buzz. It rarely works on my Takamine acoustic. I have better success on my Maton but not by much. My electric, Fender Strat forget about it. I can get it to work, but then it's out of tune. I've watched numerous videos to see if I am doing it wrong. Sorry, I'm returning this.

Esta muy bonito pero le faltan algunos milímetros para que abarque todas las cuerdas,la primera cuerda de la guitarra se debe de acomodar bien de tal manera que pueda ser presionada,a diferencia de los capotrates más económicos que la pinza está lo suficientemente larga para aplastar todas las cuerdas sin ningún problema.

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.

Ok, maybe not THAT great, but this is one darn good capo! The size is prefect. It doesn't get in the way while playing even right up next to it. Plus, I can slip it in my jean pocket when not in use. I like not having an intergalactic receiver hanging off my headstock. Easy to put on. Yes it takes two hands, but since I have two its not a problem for me. Unless your action is way off, there is no retuning needed when putting it on then taking it off. That is a huge win for me! Removal is a quick one button release. I have a Breedlove Masterclass acoustic and it fits the neck contours both front and back perfectly. I could feel the build quality right out of the package. I am sure you have bought lesser quality gear for more money. If you have made it this far in this review, all I can add is JUST GET THIS ONE. You will not be disappointed.

I really hesitated to spend the $ on this. I do think it's over-priced. That said, I'd buy it again. Easy to use one-handed, goes on, squeeze to shut. Also one-handed removal, just press the release, slides right off. But does it work well? Yees! My guitars stay in tune, even from different capo positions. Pop it on and play. No re-tuning or fine tuning. Holds strings perfectly every time! No back and forth jiggling for that pesky B string. A good, solid clamp first time, every time. So it's worth the $$$. This capo fits all of my guitar necks (about eight different sizes and styles). Also electric, acoustic, banjo, even my 4 string cigar box. Love it!

During practice, any capo would work. During a performance, I needed a capo that works on all of my guitars. Change fret positions very quickly, use and remove it and know it will work with no fret buzz. This is the best capo I've tried yet. Quality built, solid construction, all metal, EASY to use and probably won't fail at just the wrong time. For this, it's worth every penny.

I have always had issues with capos in the past until I found this one.Really well made and keeps my guitar in tune every time! No more re-tuning after the capo goes on or changes position!I also feel like it really preserves sound quality while other capos "deaden" the guitar.It is super easy to use and change positions on the fly, looks sleek, and takes up no space in my guitar case.I know it is expensive, but really is worth it, given the warrenty.Highly recommended!

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.

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.
