Been using a new G7th Capo. This is a great piece of equipment. Sounds better than my Shubb. Tunes through great. Adjusts anywhere along the neck in an instant. It's pricey, but, it's the best I've ever used (and I really like my old Shubb)

How can a thread about a capo be off topic?

It can't! But it did make you look out of curiosity. :rolleyes:

Fifty dollars isn't too bad. I've seen pretzels go for 200 times that. :D

I just recently purchased one myself and I agree. It's the best sounding capo I've ever used. Only thing I have problems with is changing keys quicky. It's impossible to do. I still use my Keyser for the "quick change" feature.

Jeff, did you get the right handed or left handed capo? I've heard the lefties have more sustain.

Will it work on a 12-String?

I've been thinking of picking one up.

Seems to depend on the guitar.
I tried it on a late-90's Legend-12
at the 7th fret, and it didn't work.
Others have had great success with it.
I think a 12-string model is warranted . .

Cliff, I agree.
While I really like the G7 for all my 6 bangers, it seems just a little fickle with some of the 12's. Still have to rely on the Shubb when it's a 12 and I need to be dead on.

Same with me...love it... but it doesn't quite work on my Balladeer at any fret above the 5th...I'll buy the 12-string model when it's available...

I have one and maybe I've not used it enough but I still prefer the Dunlop Victor. I'm not sure of the model on that Dunlop but it's the one that looks like the Johnny Cash model. The G7 I guess is just not my capo because there sure are a lot of people that do like them. I used the Shrubb for years and it is good but it may have seen it's day after the G7, Dunlop and Cash.

G7th works great on both my Adamas 12 strings-I've only tried it as far up as 8th fret. I love it!
