The price is outrageous, but the price of tuning in between songs on stage is incalculable.

Jesse, I am a Paige fan and have sung their praises on the forum for the past several years. They are designed in the yoke style that I believe produces the best capo'd tone of any style capo.

I bought the Heritage because the ART technology intrigued me as it claimed to reduce re-tuning, and the description of how it achieved that, was believable.

Not only does it accomplish that, it made my guitar sound FAR better than any capo I've ever used. So much so, I'd buy it again for that result alone.

You won't regret buying the Heritage.

Would I need the standard or wide heritage for a D-18 and 717? Both are 1.75”. Website says standard up to 1.75” so I’m confused

I bought the original G7 when it first came out. $50.00. A lot at the time. I was and continue to be underwhelmed by it.

It's heavy, clumbsy. I find it no easier to use than a Shubb. It doesn't work as well as a Shubb.

So, now I am supposed to drop $150.00 on this new G7?

It does look elegant. The design certainly should work better than the original G7.

Too much, however.

The standard should be fine.

I went with the wide model for my OM-28V, but could have gotten away with the standard one. Then again, no problem using the wider model on any guitar really.

I believe the Standard would work perfectly.

I had been using a 12 string Paige because I capo up to the 7th fret. My Standard Heritage works perfectly.

Nick gave me a compensated pad to go with the noncompensated one for free.
The gold looks great on my 12 string.

I was looking at the Heritage that was $220, I wasn't aware of the #1 wide. Hmmm.
