Location: Scotland | I've just got stock of the new G7 capo, they're designed & made in the UK and they are absolutely fantastic. I never thought I'd use anything but a Shubb, but these just beat every other Capo out there hands down. They're not cheap, but the best never is. If any OFCer's would like to try one email me. I can do better the advertised USA price

Location: Scotland | Paul, check your email. Cliff, it works on my 1968 12-fret neck GC 12-string up to the 8th fret. I works on the 9th but there's no neck left to play on! |

Location: SoCal | looks good, ordered two.
Paul's previous recommendation was the Power Pick - ordered the small for mando/elec and the large for acoustic. Great product.

Location: Scotland | Tony, thanks for the unsolicited plug! The website is in desperate need of a facelift & update, the new version will be online in a couple of months. In the meantime this is more representative of our current stock

If you have to have a capo, I can't think of anyone better than Paul T. to reccommend and provide one, does it come in mandolin size?

I guess the Capo that is best is whatever the player Decides. Temp Likes them..so they couldn't be half bad. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Every 6 or 8 years the next capo that we all have to have shows up, usually about the time the plastic or rubber on our last great capo has deteriorated. I can't list the brands, but I have one of each, cheapest being a plastic covered stainless cylinder that is held on by an early version of the bungee cable with holes to fit various necks like a belt, I have a bunch of these most with elastic sag worse than 20 year old shorts (I have some of these 20 yr old shorts also), a capo that had a screw clamp very similar to a copper tubing cutter, then Schubbs, and he one I am presently using that clamps on like a medical device.
This one of Paul T's looks like the next great capo, I'll probably end up with one to round out my collection. Remember Father's day is coming I think.
