The different capos of G7th - The Capo Company
What makes a G7th capo?
As fellow guitarists, we understand that a capo needs to not only do its job well - hold down the strings without buzzing – but as an important piece of gear in a guitarist’s toolkit it also needs to be tough and dependable.
What Makes a G7th capo different?
All G7th capos share the following attributes:
Stay in tune
G7th capos are designed to work using the minimum tension needed to fret the strings. This means your guitar won’t be pulled out of tune by the excessive force required by many other capos. Less force also helps reduce the risk of accelerated fret wear old-fashioned capos can cause.
Protect your neck
With G7th, there is no metal to wood contact between the capo and the neck of the guitar – preventing dings. Also, no marks in soft lacquer due to over-application of tension.
Preserve your tone
The pad in contact with your strings is deliberately harder than on most other capos. This means less damping of your sound caused by fat, softer pads. You get more of the unaltered tone of your guitar.
One capo for a perfect fit on most any guitar? Only on a G7th capo with ART - Adaptive Radius Technology
What makes this possible? Our most recent innovation – the patented Adaptive Radius Technology string pad. This groundbreaking string pad mechanically adapts to match the curvature over the strings (radius) on any guitar, delivering unrivalled tuning stability. With , one capo delivers complete confidence that there will be no string buzz, or need for constant retuning.
Available in both the Performance 3 and Heritage ranges.
Unique Tension Control - For perfect pressure
Since the launch of the first Performance capo in 2004, our patented unique Tension Control system has been praised by guitarists all over the world - simply squeeze to attach the capo with the minimum pressure required, then squeeze the lever to release. Easy and intuitive, and exclusive to the G7th Performance capo ranges.
Compensated String Pad - For 12 strings
12-strings have always been difficult for capos - the heavier strings were inevitably pulled sharp from the pressure required to fret the octave strings, creating a tuning nightmare. Now, our patented Compensated String Pad allows you to capo all 12 strings at the same time and with the same tension, meaning you no longer suffer those drastic tuning problems or muted and buzzing octave strings.
Available in both the Newport and Heritage ranges.
