Location: Cheyenne, Wyoming | I've got a w591. It's the same as a w597 w/ a center soundhole. Any preferences on capos? I know neck sizes and shapes vary. Should this be a consideration for the best capo for a given guitar? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I don't think there is anything specific about a w591 neck or any other for that matter. Any good quality capo should do the job. Folks around here seem to like Kyser, G7, Shubb, etc.

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I like the "Picker's Pal". It isn't as simple to use as the trigger capo's, but it has four different sides that you can use on the fretboard. One is a shallow radius, one is a thicker radius, then you have a thick and a thin straight side. I think one of the reasons Ovations are so easy to play is the radius, and the picker's pal covers evrything, without having to re-tune. |

Location: East Tennessee | A Shubb, Planet Waves NS or G7. I also would look at a Paige except they don't work well on a 12 string. |

Location: Cheyenne, Wyoming | Not a single word on the Dunlop trigger. I kind of like mine. Am I out in left field? Overall however, I think I prefer my Keyser, especially on my 510. |

Location: south east Michigan | I like to use a Shubb at home and because I can clip it on the headstock, a Kyser if I'm playing out somewhere. |

| G7 look like they were designed by Porsche.
I never use capos but I've got 3 G7s - standard, 12 string and classical. They are the coolest looking capos ever.
Obviously my opinion counts for nothing, but you'll never look cool with 2 tons of mechanical engineering hanging off your guitar neck.
That's like having to use large print books. |

Anyone ever notice a difference between a Kyser 6 and 12 string versions? Besides the package of course, I don't see a single difference. |

Unless the store stuck a 6er in the 12er package. |
