Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized G7th dealer

The G7th Performance capo is a completely different approach to capo design. It has none of the disadvantages of conventional capos, but instead offers enhanced performance and is simple to use. Not only that, it looks and feels great!

The designer, Nick Campling, says... "I've struggled to find a capo I can live with for the best part of 30 years. They all either pulled my guitar out of tune, were fiddly to adjust, or they got in the way of my hand. Some just didn't work! The G7th Performance Capo is a result of combining my product design skills with my needs as a guitarist."

The Capo Problem
The capo is a constant source of frustration to guitarists. They can be awkward to use. They can pull your guitar out of tune. They can interfere with the players hand.

Most Capos Fall Into 2 Categories
Non-Adjustable -- These capos usually work using a strong spring. They are simple and quick to use, but the spring tension cannot be adjusted, therefore they exert a different tension on each fret, and often cause tuning problems. They can also require a lot of strength to use.

Adjustable -- A good adjustable capo is less likely to cause tuning problems. However many are awkward or fiddly to use. Some have only stepped adjustment which is too crude. Others interfere with the players hand.

The G7th capo has none of the problems of existing capos, but all of the benefits!

"This will probably revolutionize the way we think about capos - a no hassle solution for guitarists." Guitarist Magazine Nov 03

The G7th Design
The wrap spring clutch consists of just 3 elements: a fixed hub, a moving hub, and a spring whose inside diameter is just slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the two hubs. When the spring is forced over the two hubs, attempting to rotate in the direction which opens the capo wraps it down tightly on the hubs, positively engaging them.

Rotation in the other direction, to tighten the capo onto the strings, is not restricted. To release the capo, the control tang is moved in the direction to unwind the spring, thus releasing the clutch.

The beauty of this type of clutch for this application is that it can be adjusted in tiny increments.

The clutch mechanism is a modified tried-and-tested design used in printers and copiers to provide a simple decoupling and overrun device. zZounds is an authorized dealer of G7th products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "An electric guitar players capo"

Sound: Works very well, high quality materials, does the job it's intended for. The Only thing I would change is that the disengage mechanism is made of plastic instead of metal. Feature: I like that I can put as much or as little pressure on the strings as I want Ease of Use: Easy to use Quality: well made, solid design, quality material but would change the plastic release switch to metal Value: Not bad but a little pricey for a capo Manufacturer Support: Haven't had any problems so far The Wow Factor: VERY SEXY.... for a capo! Overall: Even though it's a little pricey, I would probably bite the bullet and buy another one because it's the best capo I've found so far for my electric guitar

Style of Music: Christian, rock, country

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Capo de tutti capi! even though its a capotasto,"

Quality: This could be the best capo ever!-but isn't, because, although solidly built, its lever arm is cheap thin breakable plastic, and will spall off when it hits the floor(and you will drop it, I drop mine about once every 40-50 times I take it off or put it on the Guitar.) This lever arm should be made sturdier, I am reduced to using a nub now. It is other wise a good capo although pricy, and is better than the pickers pal or shubb,(these are never-the-less, also good capos) which get in the way of certain chordings (like the open B7th), and are hard to adjust on necks that have a taper, like my D-18. I use the G7th capo for it, and the other two work fine on my McCormick (Made by a local lutier of that name) I,ve been playing a lot of bluegrass and Gospel lately, and the G7th enables me to capo up with one hand, and "squeeze the exact amount of pressure, with its one way clamping device, that is needed. Many bluegrass performers swear by the Keiser, but I have had two, and found them wanting , because the spring will eventually weaken and strings will start buzzing, long before metal fatigue causes the spring to break. If only that lever arm were of metal, I would rate this one a 10, instead of a 7. Value: Yes, if the lever arm were improved. Manufacturer Support: I haqvn't contacted the company yet about the release lever, but I guess I will.

Style of Music: American roots music, Gospel, Bluegrass, International folk etc.
