G7th Performance 3 Capo with ART

Different capos work well with some guitars and some not. What I might use on a certain acoustic may not work well with some of my electrics. That being said, I play out professionally and my guitar of choice on stage is a Gretsch Duo-Jet. I went through a few different capos over the years, dissatisfied with all of them for the two big reasons, tuning distortion when I put the capo on so I had to re-tune every time I put the capo on or moved it. Reason two was that when I bent strings, quite often the string would not return to the original position. The G7 absolutely solved those problems. You have total control over the pressure you want to apply when putting it on. That makes a huge difference right there. You need different pressures depending on far far up the neck you are placing it. I have found with practice that I can put it on and stay pretty much in tune. Maybe adjust the low E a tiny bit, but not much. And when I bend, the strings stay in place. This is not a cheap capo, but well worth it IMO.

This capo is a work of art. Form meets function. I bought one for myself and then one for a friend. I highly recommend it for its high quality construction, performance and beauty.

Lost my old adjustable spring capo, and had a gift card from work for Veteran's Day so I splurged on this one to replace it. I have to say that it's all its hyped up to be. It is easy to seat with just enough even tension to be buzz free without bending one or more strings out of tune. It's also small and doesn't have parts sticking out so it's unobtrusive. The build quality if excellent. Not as cheap as some capos, but in this case one really does get what they pay for.

I've tried a lot of capos, and this one is currently my favorite. Spring-loaded capos cause too many tuning issues, so it's nice to have one that only clamps as hard as you want/need it to. It's a bit pricy, but worth it.

The capo looks and feels fantastic. Not sure, why some reviews say they have difficulty using with one hand. It’s super simple to use with one hand. How to use: center the top pad with your strings and neck and squeeze the bottom portion towards the top with the top portion resting on the strings. How NOT to use: especially with guitars with smaller neck profiles. Don’t butt-up the inside of the capo (the inner “C”) against the neck of the guitar. With the way the internal pad mechanism is designed to function, if it’s not centered with the guitar’s specific neck size and strings, it will not seal properly and cause buzzing as it’s off-center. If you align it like explained in “How to use” it should seal properly with no buzzing. As far as de-tuning, it does a better job than most. It beats having to adjust tension on the capos with the turning tension mechanism when switching guitars. So far, no capo is perfect. This is pretty close. Can’t wait for the next iteration! Otherwise, I would buy another. Pricy? Yes, but there’s shockingly still more expensive options that probably don’t deliver.

I have always used the Kyser capo's for all my guitars. I recently purchased a Godin A6 Ultra, which uses 10 gauge acoustic strings, and the Kyser capo's, not matter where in between frets it was or how it was positioned, would make the guitar go out of tune. It would go out of tune so bad the guitar wasn't playable with the Kyser capo on. I did a lot of research and tweaking to my Godin, but nothing was helping. I could have used thicker strings, which I tried, but the Godin didn't like anything thicker than the 10 gauge. I read an article that talked about this G7th Performance capo, which at first just sounded like an advertisement because I was very skeptical a different capo would fix the problem, especially because it was much more expensive than any capo I have ever purchased. So I researched this exact G7th Performance capo some more and found that many people were saying the same thing about how great this capo is. So, I ordered one figuring I could return it if it didn't work. But, it DID work, and works really well. I can capo any fret and the guitar stays in tune - it maybe goes out a little depending on the fret, but good enough that the guitar chords still sound good. You still (at least on my Godin) have to take a little time to figure out exactly where the sweet spot is as if it's a little out of tune, you can move the capo a little closer to a fret or further away (more in between the frets) and that puts the guitar back into tune. And a little time is needed to figure out the 'sweet spot' of the tightness the capo needs or you may get a little fret buzz if it's too loose, and it might go a little more out of tune that you'd like if it's too tight. All and all, this is a GREAT capo. I'm very satisfied. I do play acoustic shows about every weekend so I have put this to the test. The only thing you want to make sure you do is keep an eye on the capo and don't forget it! It's an expensive little piece of equipment to leave behind! Hope this helps.

I foolishly bought this $80 capo, thinking that if it costs that much, it must be good. Wrong! It’s worthless. I liked the look and feel, and ease of use, but unfortunately the design is very flawed. I own an original vintage 1968 blonde/ maple Fender Telecaster. I slipped the capo on and was immediately disappointed. The first 5 strings sound great, but the capo applies VERY LITTLE pressure on the high E string. As a result, when playing a chord with an open E, it mutes the string. If I press down on E, it buzzes. So yeah, it’s worthless. Do yourself a favor and stick to the tried and true $30 capos that actually apply enough equal pressure across ALL 6 strings…

This is a high quality capo that works great on guitars with good setups. I’ve seen most of the negative comments here and the ones with the negative comments with a photo/video have issues with their action or neck. If your guitar is setup properly, barring any quality setback with the capo itself that you receive, you should be fine.

It's ok, But I feel like I'm just justifying it because I spent too much on it, I think the rubber surface that presses on the strings should be a bit harder to have a better hold on the notes

Compact en handig. Werkt goed (en snel) + zit niet in de weg bij bepaalde akkoorden

Good solid easy and nice looking capo

It's actually very good. I was a bit sceptical about the claim to keep things in tune, but it does work according to my tuner. Very easy to put on and release. It has a slim profile so doesnt get in the way when playing. Personally I think it's worth the money. It locks in place securely on the top of the headstock too, so easy to keep with the guitar when not in use. The only potential issue is it fits a standard guitar up to about fret 10. This is fine for most people as you'd not go higher than this, but if you have a slightly wider fret board or a vintage guitar that is wider than normal (not fatter, wider) then you may find it doest fit properly over the high e string earlier than fret 10. For the ease of putting it on and that it actually does keep the tuning correct on all strings, I'd recommend it.

Purchased this for my partner who plays Celtic guitar. He was so impressed with how well it works. He said there was no give or movement to it once it is placed. Very well made.
