Yes, I think I'd mentioned I'd never have bought one for myself, but I'll sure take it as a gift. : )Shubb - $15-20.00
Elliott: $150 - 200.00

I use a capo from G7th that incorporates their "compensated string pad," where they specifically shape the rubber pad to accommodate the difference in paired string diameters. Clever, and it really works. Read about it here:...any and all 12-string capo recommendations are most welcome, I've never found one with which I've been satisfied. If anyone knows the answer, surely it must be Guild players. G7th capos were once recommended to me for 12s but I've never actually been in the same room as one. Very curious what you nice folks use on the big guns.
LOL
Cool deal. First I've seen that.I use a capo from G7th that incorporates their "compensated string pad," where they specifically shape the rubber pad to accommodate the difference in paired string diameters. Clever, and it really works. Read about it here:
G7th, The Capo Company-What is a Compensated String Pad?
The Capo Company. Home of the NEW G7th Performance 3 capo with Adaptive Radius Technology.www.g7th.com
Setting myself up royally for a smirk from dreadnut, the capo I like the best also happens to be the most expensive. But, once again, it works. It is here:
Heritage Guitar (18kt Gold Plate 12 string)
This traditional yoke-style guitar capo is made from hand-polished stainless steel with 18kt Gold Plate finish and is fitted with Adaptive Radius Technology (ART®) for maximum tuning stability with the minimum tension required and a Compensated String Pad to fret all 12 strings at the SAME TIME...www.g7th.com
What are the two gizmos bottle right Tom. I am unfamiliar.I have four capos in regular use. They are Shubb, Shubb, Shubb, and a Shubb. There's also a whole drawer or other types of capos. Even one with a built in tuner. I only use the Shubbs. A Kyser sticks up way too much and that spring is too strong, feels like it's gonna snap the neck in half! Here's some random capos that I pulled out of the music junk drawer. One of them you can even adjust to leave strings open. I don't use any of these. Shubb all the way!!
Me too JimOh gosh, I couldn't play without my capos. I use them for many different things, not the least of which is finding a key I can sing in......which is getting harder to do these days. : )
