I'm here. It does look interesting. Would work well on some songs but on others you might have to avoid any open strings. I'm not sold on it..... Yet. :D

He uses an Ovation on "Froggie's Night Out". :cool:

That's pretty cool.
A group buy would be cool. It's not that expensive, but it might encourage a bunch of people to try it out...

I like the guy's stuff. The capo looks like something I might be interested in for a few tunes. I wonder how easy it is to get on and off?

Interesting.
That kind of style always reminds me of movie soundtrack music.

Once you remove the two wood screws that attach it to the neck, it's a cinch to take off... :D

Yeah! Wasn't there some sort of mute Herb Ellis used to have up at the nut? Maybe a device on a swing arm bolted to the top would do the trick. I've got a pre-war D-28 around here somewhere . . .

You'd have to be pretty well versed with `open' tunings by the look of it, I'd have liked to have heard something in standard tuning. Looks good but I think I'd eventually get fed up with it.

The bass that CL puts out on "Froggy's Night Out" demo is amazing.

Second that. I do use a regular capo to make more open strings available in various keys, which would limit the practicality of this thing for me, since you can really only use it at the 12th fret on most acoustics. Pass.

I bought one, Ya know I thought about this a few years ago while doing some Yes stuff on the Bass. there is one of the songs on an early album that is just the harmonics plucked over and over. I thought I might try and make something like this but never got back to it. I sure wish I did.
This guy is going to make a freekin fortune, it is so simple its brilliant! I think I can write some great new stuff on this Baritone with alternate tunings whist using this crazy thing.
He got my $35
