Description

Unlock new dimensions of sound with the G7th Newport 12-string CSP Capo, a must-have tool for both seasoned musicians and aspiring artists. Specifically designed for 12-string acoustic and electric guitars, this capo is engineered to deliver seamless playability and tonal precision. Its compensated string rest is the heart of its design, ensuring all 12 strings are pressed uniformly, reducing the chance of tuning discrepancies that can plague even the most well-tuned guitars.

Crafted for ease of use, the G7th Newport allows for one-handed operation, making on-the-fly key changes a breeze during live performances or studio sessions. The capo's fine-tuning pegs offer precise control over string tension, allowing musicians to dial in the exact pressure needed for their unique instrument setup. It’s a tool that matches your creativity, ensuring every chord resonates with clarity and every note rings true.

While it fits most 12-string guitars, it's important to note that it’s not compatible with Rickenbacker 12-string models due to their reversed octave string arrangement. This capo is a blend of functionality and finesse, making it an indispensable part of any guitarist’s toolkit.

Key Features:

  • One-handed operation for ease of use
  • Compensated string rest for uniform tension across all 12 strings
  • Fine-tuning pegs for precise string tension adjustments
  • Maximum fretboard width: 58 mm
  • Maximum neck thickness: 27 mm
  • Not compatible with Rickenbacker 12-string guitars due to string arrangement

Great capo

Yes it will work with 6-strings too. Johnny Marr uses them. I guess that's recommendation enough. Only minus is if you have 2 guitars with different thickness necks - for fast changes you'll need a capo per guitar - as they take a while to adjust. But design is otherwise brilliant and works well.
