I’m happy enough with my Performance 2 that I’m looking forward to trying a Performance 3. It may be that a pinch type capo will never be AS good as an equivalent yoke type in terms of exerting equal pressure, but they already do it well enough for many of us, and this promised that much more of n improvement... |

QUESTION PLEASE!
First, THANKS for this announcement and review - love G7's..
My QUESTION: I often use my capo to play "DROP-D IN E" - meaning.. I place the capo on "upside down", 2nd fret, over strings 1 - 5 ONLY, so I can play in D, but with the low 6th string still in E - for songs in E, but I play D, G & A (etc) instead of E, A & B7. Even my G7 Capos seem to still go sharp a little. (I HAVE purchased a different brand capo made just FOR this purpose, but it goes sharp too). Oh - my guitars ARE set up very very well, and otherwise intonation is spot on. SO.. How does this new P3 function in this position? Good intonation, or still a little sharp? Thank you in advance. MIKE O' |

For anyone interested in what's going on inside...
We made a video of how it works.

This looks cool. Reviewer should have tried other guitars to make a more definitive assessment.

I do not own the P2, so I am comparing with the original Performance. And I threw Nashville and Newport to the test. Martin 000-16GT with new Martin SP Lifespans 12-54. Polytune tuner on the headstock. Short version: P3 version is OK for your purposes. Longer version: Original Performance - acceptable contact with the neck - heavier - does not feel so secure - b and e string are a bit sharp Performance 3 - acceptable contact with the neck (stays more open than P1 - see photo) - feels more secure - intonation OK Nashville - contact with the neck on the limit - a string sharp, d and g ok, b flat, e ok Newport - lock lever collides with the neck, unable to attach correctly (could be ok on thicker neck) Regards vlada |

Awesome! I ordered a couple last Wednesday (I think it was Wednesday) when they were put on the website.

Excellent video. Very innovative system. Makes total sense how it adapts to the curvature.
I have never used a G7th. So I am not familiar with the tension controls. On your website: Unique Tension Control "By simply squeezing to attach and squeezing to release, the Performance 3 capo gives you complete and intuitive control over the pressure you place on your strings. Whether it's an acoustic or an electric, you can have confidence that you are in control and will keep your guitar in tune." And on your video you explain the mechanism. Yet I am slightly unclear on how each of us apply the correct pressure? I use slightly heavier -than medium custom string gauges. How do I apply heavier pressure on the strings if I want to? As each of us have complete control. |

Mine's on order....even sprung for the gold one, but, hey, it's my birthday!
Most everything I do is with a capo, so I use them a lot. I have a Heritage with the new technology, looking forward to seeing this one in action with the same ART.

Never owned a G7th capo before. But I may just have to get one now.
I can't wait for them to reach the north of the border.
