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.

Support:
I haqvn’t contacted the company yet about the release lever, but I guess I will.

Feature:
It needs less tension on the capo and a LOT more padding to keep from ruining your guitar neck.

Quality:
It is well made and easy to put on the guitar. Of course if you don’t mind the damage it does to the neck of the guitar it would be great.

Value:
It is over priced, I have now bought a cheap dunlop one that causes no damage.

Support:
I have not had any contact with them yet but I am sure going to tell them what there capo has done to my guitar.

Overall:
I would never buy another one of these capo’s again. It has ruined the neck of my new Martin guitar. I have indentations everywhere I have clamped this capo on the neck. It is easy to put on (if you are a weight lifter with a stong grip) but that is about all I can say positive about this thing. I am very upset about the damage to my guitar. Be careful and always inspect for damage each time you use it. I did not notice the damage until I had used it up to the 5th fret several times, but then it was to late and the damage is permentaly there.

Quality:
Quality is super.

Value:
It is a bargain. There are some that cost more, but they are not as good. Shubb is the best.

Sound:
Does not take away from the sound of the guitar. That makes it the best.

Ease of Use:
doesn’t mess up tuning. It is easy to use.

Support:
I emailed them to ask about various models, etc. and got a very helpful response the same day from Shubb himself. You can’t beat that.

Overall:
It seems like it will last forever, but I have bought three of them, just so that I always have one handy.

Feature:
The ability to just roll the capo off the finger board right onto the head is a real plus. It only takes a second and is still on the guitar when you want to use it next.

Value:
Expensive, but worth it.

Sound:
I have had a lot of capos and this is the best for holding down all of the strings with not rattle and for ease of use.

Overall:
I have been using it daily for 9 months and so far have not noticed any signs of adverse wear.
