What capo is your favorite?

[LeDave]

What capo is your favorite? My G7th Performance 2's just broke. It won't hold in place by keeping the tension there anymore. I was wondering what you use and no I don't want to go back to the G7th Performance 2 or even 3 after what happened.

Well, I was going to say G7th Performance 3, because that really is my favourite.

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

Shubb. Works great. Durable. Cheap.

Thanks guys, the reason why I won't go Shubb is because it takes a extra couple seconds to pop one on and off. I prefer a quick and easy clamp. How does this go? https://www.amazon.com/DAddario-Tri-...dp/B008BPI3AA/

The Ellliot. Expensive and just better. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

The D’Addario is a really nice capo too, and one of the ones I own.

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 really, genuinely have done this many years ago.

Thalia capos. Easy to use with customize pads for your particular guitar radius and looks beautiful as well.

The best value on a good yoke style capo is a Barry Collins capo. $68 delivered and very similar to an Elliott that costs 3x as much.

My favorite is my Shubb but I have times when I can't get it on or off as quickly as needed, so it isn't always the one I use. For speed, Kaiser has my vote.

Best,

I’ll take the extra couple seconds with a Shubb over pulling the strings sharp with a Kyser-style spring-loaded capo.

So where, all of a sudden, has this concept of Speed Capo Changing come from?

Are there audiences who threaten bad things if you’re not ready for the next tune in 12.5 seconds?

I have a couple of Shubbs, a couple of D’Addarios, and a G7th Performance 3. I can’t change a single one of them without using both hands and taking some time.

Maybe I’m just inept - or maybe I recognize the fact that a mechanical device just cannot perform magic.

They all have their quirks. And none of it is that important.

elliot, paige...any yolk style

Shubb. Shubb again for 10 characters.

12 string brass Shubb.
