Default Journey OF660 - Capo

Hi,
Just a quickie.... what capo do you use that can go higher up on the neck of the 660 but isnt massive if used on the lower frets?
I have a G7 and after fret 5 it misses the top e... so wondered which one you recommend for this guitar?

Thanks,

Pete

I use a Shubb Fine Tune (yoke style on mine). No issue at higher frets (I have gone up to the 8th fret)

Thanks,
Do you recommend the 'click'version or the original?

Wasnt sure which Paige to get so whilst waiting ordered a Shub standard for 12-string as it was free returns. Seems to fit upto 10th fret although has to be fully undone and is a little tight.
Will order the Paige when I know which one i.e. click wide or original wide.

The link I gave is for the one I have. It "just" fits on the 12th, but not the 13th. Not that I ever use it that high anyway.

As to the "Click" version, I seldom use the feature. Forget it's there--so I just screw it up or down. I should try to use it more. But just turning the knob is enough for me. I paid $19 a few years ago but see it is higher now.
