This is somewhat off-topic, but I wish G7 would offer more finishes on their capos.
I love your Heritage and have it on gold, but it's such a shiny gold and sticks out like a sore thumb on some of my guitars. A nice aged brass look would match beautiful Waverlys. Please do it!

Has anyone here tried the Performance 3 with a Rainsong?

Thanks for the review; it was a big factor in my getting one. I like what you have written, and have no disagreements. Just a new concept involved for me with this one. Recently got my new G7th performance 3 (P3) capo from the UK manufacturer. My initial impression is a bit north of lukewarm. Mostly because it's tension is set by squeezing it on. While this may sound intuitive, it is actually a work in progress for me. Getting/finding the right squeeze will take some getting used to. I think it will be more of an art than a science. I have been using Shubb capoes for quite a while. I also am completely sold on the G7th Newport 12 string capo with compensated string pad, which has easily replaced my next-to-useless Shubb 12 string capo because of the amount of re-tuning the Shubb requires. The Newport requires no re-tuning. All the Shubbs and the G7th Newport have adjustable screws to vary the tension. My ears are telling me that the P3 capo sounds great when in place. It just does not currently seem to feel good getting there. In short I am doubting my squeeze ability. So I am going to need some more practice to get used to this novel (to me) concept of squeezing the capo in place. But given what a revelation and step up the Newport 12 string was, I am more than optimistic that I will get the feel of this one soon and my confidence in using it will grow exponentially. As may be obvious, this is my first Performance capo model, and have no comparison baseline with the P2 model. And I do not put any capo on the frets, but within 1/4" behind the fret. Don .
