G7th Performance 2 Steel String Guitar Capo for 6-String Electric/Acoustic Guitar

Product Information

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed using the G7th Performance 2 capo so far. In my opinion, it is probably the best capo currently on the market. As I mentioned a few times, it’s lightweight, minimalistic, sleek, and works great. There is a bit of a learning curve when first using the capo to determine how hard you should actually press, however, it becomes second nature after a few tries. Make sure each note is clear. You don’t want ANY dead notes in a guitar chord (unless they’re marked ‘x’).

It’s unlike a trigger capo where once you squeeze to open the capo you can feel the tension. The Performance 2 capo doesn’t feel like it creates tension at all when you open / close it.

The reason for this is obvious with ukuleles as they're much smaller, less so with the other two. Because of the extra set of strings on a 12-string acoustic or electric, you'll need a higher tension to effectively clamp down the strings. On a classical guitar, it comes down to the flat fretboard radius as we mentioned before, which requires a specific capo design to work properly. What is a guitar capo used for?

The springs deal with the tensioning for you. As long as you’re careful not to bend the strings in the process, capos don’t come easier to use than this. Please note that warranty replacements may still incur customs/duties charges that are the recipient's responsibility.

It's worth remembering that, just like fretting the guitar with your finger, all capos will alter your guitar’s intonation to some degree. The best ones will have been designed to effect it the least, reducing the need to retune your guitar after fitting one. An adjustable capo should be at the top of your list.
