Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hello, Everyone,
As stated in a previous post, my friend/mentor, Bruce, has generously offered to buy me a brand new G7 Performance 3 Capo for Christmas. ( I picked the black satin one, BTW. The G7 website people from UK pronouce it, as, "CAP-oh", which to me is the Italian word for a Mafia Wiseguy, and this come from my pastor and deacon, who are Italian, so... but I digress.) I'm not a, "capo guy," and I'd like to know if any OFC members use this particular brand of capo. I've seen/heard mixed reviews on it. I only have just the one old style Jim Dunlop Curved Ratcheted Capo, without the buckle, which I have used very sparingly, since I purchased it many moons ago. I did eventually get the newer Jim Dunlop model with the buckle, but I lost it when I moved from my home town to Ottawa in 1992. Thanks in advance for the kind help with this matter.

Location: Muenster/Germany | YOu shoud definetely try playing with capos it´s a lot of fun. I have all kinds, for all 6, 2, or 3 or 4 strings and I use them with doubleneck guitars with different open tunings...
The best Capos are:
G7th heritage
JohnPearse reliable capo
and the new Shubb F1
The y all have the adjustment screw on the backside. Forget all the others, they are are waste of money. |

Location: SoCal | I'd like an Elliot capo but it's really expensive in the capo world. I'll stick with a corn cob and some rubber bands. Seems to work just fine...... |
