Description

Edit description

The G7th Performance 3 ART Guitar Capo is a game-changer for guitarists seeking impeccable tuning stability and ease of use. This capo stands out thanks to its Adaptive Radius Technology (ART), which dynamically conforms to the curvature of your guitar's neck, ensuring even pressure across all strings. This means you get maximum tuning stability with minimal tension, eliminating common issues like fret buzz and sharp notes.

In addition to ART, the Performance 3 features G7th's Unique Tension Control system. This patented mechanism allows for near-infinite adjustment with a simple, intuitive squeeze-on, squeeze-off action. Whether you're playing an acoustic, electric, or hybrid guitar, you can confidently move the capo between frets or even different guitars without needing to retune constantly.

Designed for one-handed use, the Performance 3 is as quick to position as a spring-loaded capo but far more reliable. When not in use, it stores conveniently behind the nut or on the headstock, making it a versatile tool for any guitarist. Plus, the capo's high-grade materials and silicone wrap-around rubber protect your guitar's finish while eliminating tone deadening.

Key Features:

Adaptive Radius Technology (ART) for even pressure and tuning stability
Unique Tension Control system for precise, one-handed adjustment

Works with 6-string steel or nylon acoustic, electric, and hybrid guitars

Proud to be G7th’s artist of the week!

I remember getting my first G7th capo for my 14th birthday. Since then I’ve used a G7th at every show, gig, church service, and jam night I’ve played. My guitar never goes anywhere without this capo. An absolutely fantastic product and I highly recommend.
