Default Has anyone seen my spare capo?

It's the one I deliberately leave laying out in the guitar room in case I can't find the one in the neck box. It's a gold Kyser. With sparkles. I've spent an hour turning my guitar room upside down. No joy. It would be easier if the guitar room were cleaner, but it is a working room.

"I've looked everywhere it could possibly be." At this point I can hear my beloved father's slightly sardonic reply when I was a boy: "Then look where it couldn't possibly be!" Logic.

I've started going through the guitar cases a second time. I got up this morning at 5:30am and made another round.

Bob

I wouldn't rule out that it might be with all the picks I've dropped ... that apparently never really hit the floor..

I'm with this guy and I suspect things aren't going to get any better.

Your capo will be in the last place you look. :-)

OMG. Oh how I relate!

Let me help - it's between the 2nd and 3rd sofa cushion in the basement.

The other thing is...if you give up and break down and buy a replacement, you will immediately find it.

Look in the clothes dryer. That’s where my picks go to hide.
