G7th Performance 3 Art Classic Silv

I can’t imagine a better capo!
This one is a real upgrade from the previous version (Performance 2) — it’s much easier to put on and it presses all the strings perfectly, even the lower ones. With version 2, I had to use significantly more force to get a clean sound on some frets. Also version 3 is a bit bigger and wider, which is good thing.

Overall advantages of this capo (Performance 3):

1. Very easy to place on any fret — all strings are pressed evenly and cleanly.

2. Quick and effortless to remove or park it on the headstock when not in use.

3. Unlike many other capos, this one doesn’t apply excessive pressure to the guitar neck. It mimics the natural pressure of a finger in a barre chord, which is much gentler on the frets. (I previously had a capo from another brand that pressed so hard it left dents in the frets and made tuning impossible — I had to replace the frets and switched to this capo, version 2, to solve the issue.)

4. With capos that press too hard, tuning often becomes inconsistent across frets. With this one, tuning is perfect from the first to the last fret.

5. Over the past week, I had to use a third-party capo (Ortega flat), which pressed too hard and was awkward to handle during songs where I didn’t need it. When I finally got my G7th (this version 3) back, the ease of use was like night and day.

6. It also looks elegant, and the price is more than fair. Honestly, I’d pay even more for something this well-made — hats off to the creators!

Drawbacks:
None.

P. S. To clarify: As I mentioned, I had the G7th Performance 2 and was overall satisfied with it (except for needing to apply extra pressure on certain frets to get all strings clean). However, after about two years of use, it suddenly broke at the hinge. To be fair, I had dropped it a few times on hard floors, so that probably caused it.
