What capo is your favorite?

The Shubb for over 20 years.

Literally just ordered a G7th Performance 3 this afternoon based on reviews I read on the AGF. Should have it tomorrow.

But, really - are you that busy that you can’t spare a couple of seconds? The Shubb is a classic for very good reasons.

I've used the "Deluxe" version of this... a cut off nail through a piece of Tygon tubing from the hardware store.

The Shubb is my favorite by far.

My Shubb Deluxe is always close by, but lately I'm enjoying the D'Addario Pro Plus.

SHUBB, C1K Noir.
Pretty light weight.
Low profile and adjustable.
Twice I have had Shubb send me a free pack of replacement rubber sleeves. So awesome customer service.
From a short distance one cannot even tell that this capo is on the guitar. Not that it's big secret, or anything.
Lastly, personally, I cringe at the sight of a Keyser capo and a tuner clipped onto the headstock. It's the Farmer's Market/Open-Mic'r appearance to me.

I will give an emphatic second for the Thalia capos. One handed operation to change positions or remove completely. Even though it's bulky, it allows you to capo cleanly further back from the fret, giving plenty of room for the left hand.

However, you should try reaching out to G7th support - they have an excellent reputation for looking after their customers.

In the meantime, you can’t go wrong with a good old Shubb. And I defy you to break it

I own a G7th and I like it.
But the weight and gaudy profile are what make me reach for my multitude of Shubbs first.

I have a variety (no Elliot) but for some reason or another, Keyser is my favorite. Blasphemy I know, but I never have problems with them pulling my guitars sharp. But, I like my action LOW and both my guitars are setup the same way and maybe that's why Keyser works for me.

I lead worship every week, and a quick capo change is key (pun intended) to smooth transitions between songs.

I’m a big fan of James Taylor. He uses a Dunlop so I thought I’d give it a try. Lo and behold my guitar sounds great and plays in tune with it.

Me too. Only I used a BIC pen. And one of those scuncci things from my sisters hair.

Shubb. It's stainless. I use the 12 string version because I capo up at the 7th fret on a couple of tunes and it's easier to adjust on the wider neck area. Best $20 ever spent. I keep one in each case.

I have to say that the eraser is a nice touch. None of my capos have that feature
