Members halmot Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Count me in. I've always wanted to try one, and decided to treat myself today. I've always hated my Kyser capo, because I find it clumsy to put on / take off and it pulls my guitar out of tune. The G7th is nothing like this. Easy to use, and I never have to retune. More importantly, it just sounds better than the Kyser. It's like having a whole bunch of new guitars! I know lots of people are perfectly happy with their elastic-band capos, or their Kysers, for that matter, but I don't regret splurging for the G7th. One reason I held onto the Kyser was because I could "reverse" it, and use it as a partial "Drop-D" capo. I wasn't sure the G7th could do this, but it works like a charm.

Members Whalebot Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 I love my G7th. It is a lifesaver, no intonation problems, it was well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldskool Texas Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Count me in. I've been very happy with mine for a long time now, and have never regretted spending the money on it. In addition to its flawless performance, it looks really classy, for a capo anyway!

Members slodge Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Count me in, too. I was a Kyser guy for years, decided to splurge on a G7 after reading reviews, and now the Kysers just don't sound right to me. It seems pricey for a capo, but if you use one all the time, it's well worth the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Galabar Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 I like this one: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Planet-Waves-NS-Capo-Silver-?sku=360403 The ability to fine-tune it to just enough tightness is very nice.

Members jamesp Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 They gave me a pile of capos to try at the LMS. The G7 needed the least re-tuning, so I bought one. They're pretty slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brokepick Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Anybody else tried a Planet Waves NS? Seems to be similar to the G7th, but costs a lot less. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine works just fine as a "Drop-D" capo. (Yes, I mean "Drop-E". Actually, no, I mean "Drop-D" because I tune my guitar down to D. I'm confused.)

Members Whalebot Posted January 25, 2009 Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 This is my cut capo that I made w/ a hacksaw and an exacto knife. It holds down the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings. So the G7th doesn't handle everything, I have a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
