- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- The Performance 3 is the culmination of years of designing, tweaking, and improving - but most importantly, listening to guitarists and their views on what a capo SHOULD do. Now, coupling our Unique Tension Control system with the revolutionary ART string pad mechanism gives a near-perfect capo experience.

Nick, every time you make another advancement in Capo technology, I think "Well this has to be it - where can he possibly take it from here?" And I'll be darned if you don't find another way to make things better for us guitarists! Some of us depend on tuning as little as possible in order to make a living. Working on stage and/or in a studio are two examples where we have to spend a minimum amount of time tuning. Thank you so much for this lovely machine! BTW, I didn't know you had a brother:)
3min video and you guys sold me on this technology. I've been googling for hours trying to figure out what to get and this did it for me!
That's great to hear Jason! So glad you like it :) Best wishes, Tommy G7th Capos
Just ordered one. I must have been living under a rock to miss this. A better alternative to switching capos for three radii and an additional compound radius. It works out cheaper and more practical having one for all, thanks.
So glad you like it!
The best got better! Great development Nick & Simon, you never rest!
Bought it and using it since yesterday. It's actually incredible. Aside from the buzzing my old capo produced, it actually warped the sound too I believe. I'm a beginner and I didn't know that a standard capo with a spring did that. Now it just sounds so clear, lol! If it holds and doesn't break or lose it's strength, the price is well justified. For now it's great quality and I don't think I need a different capo.
Great to hear!
Would love to get on with a G7th. Truth is, when I upgraded my guitar I decided to treat myself to one, and it had more string buzz than, frankly, some considerably cheaper ones such as the Dunlop Trigger and even an unbranded one from Amazon! Maybe I’ll try again some day.
Always here to help at Tommy.loose@g7th.com :)
Just received my custom performance 3 and I love it. Thank you guys for a great product.
You're very welcome, Jay!
I just bought one. With little experience I can tell the difference. Thanks
Good product .... no doubt that it is very good .... last year I acquired the performance 2 with all the dibero I had saving (I still in high school that's why I can not work) and it was worth it to spend it here in my country it's like the quadruple of the original cost but ... it was worth it ... it's the only capo I use :) they are great ... greetings from Peru nn
in Australia we say kay-po. had no idea they called them a cap-o in the UK until now.
Great video Nick. Nice to "meet" Simon, as well.
I saw Alan playing with this the other day on here. If he likes it, it must be good.
Marvellous, I bought the heritage capo,then the twelve string heritage,and now they bring out the performance version,
Maybe I should have waited.
Still they are still the best.
Well, the heritage is basically perfect. So... no need to worry :)
Just got one of these. Works really well on my electric, on my acoustic (which is DADGAD tuned and has a slightly higher action) it’s proven to be challenging and disappointingly temperamental. Would definitely recommend demoing it on your guitar before you buy.
Hi there, Tommy at G7th capos here :) Sorry to hear about this - mind emailing me at Tommy.loose@g7th.com ? Sounds like you may have a faulty capo - this is covered under the lifetime warranty, please don't worry!
Sorry to hear! Hit me up at Tommy.loose@g7th.com and I'll get you sorted :)
Ordered the goldplated 18K one... few bucks more but why not- I will pass it on to my kids and so will they.
Always great solutions! Bravo Nick!
I just received one in the mail today. At first I was disappointed. Which end is up? How is it installed? Maybe I'm a dummy but it wasn't intuitive to me. Once I figured out how to put it on, I still had string buzzing and some muting - over pressure/under pressure. Until I figured it out: Press down on tip of the back while applying pressure to the top as well. Maybe a QR to a video or good old instruction sheet in the packaging would've helped. Thanks for listening.
Hi Mark - hit me up at Tommy.loose@g7th.com - I’ll gladly sort this for you :)
Difficult to find in the US still! I guess that's a given since it seems it was just released..
Now, you gius need to make a capo that stays in place and you can clamp and unclamp instantly in the one spot, very very easily and not miss a beat! Even if it has to be attached to the guitar neck somehow and can't be instantly removed.. But still removed within a few seconds... But if you can develop instant removal too, that would be even greater!
Sorry if I'm asking for them impossible.. But.. It must be possible!
Hi Christian! They'll be available in March :-)
I'll be eager to try this, in my lowered tuning: CGDGAD
Why my 7th g capo isn't so good? When I use on my acoustic guitar, it doesn't fix very well, and some strings buzzing often. This not happens with my Kyser capo instead...
Sorry to hear that! Please can you email us at hello[at]g7th.com so we can help? You're covered by our free lifetime warranty.
can't wait for this!
Pre-ordered this! Like G7th products, Quality and Design are first-rate, IMHO! Is that a Taylor K14 Acoustic guitar?!?!?!!!???
Thanks Loren! Indeed it is a K14 :-)
@@g7thcapo Excellent! I'm a proud owner/player of a Taylor K14 as well! Lovely Guitar, to say the least! Look forward to the Performance 3 capo with ART!
I've just bought my 3rd one of these capos. The first two were Performance 2 models. The clutch failed on the first one, and Uri Geller must have got hold of the second one because it got more and more bent until it just fell apart. They lasted about 3 years in total. Now I have a Performance 3 and we'll see how that goes. These are great capos to use but there are some design or manufacturing weaknesses.
Hi robaxx! All of our capos come with a Free Lifetime Warranty. Drop an email to hello[at]g7th.com if you want to chat with us :-)
@@g7thcapo Hi, thanks for the response. I threw the first one out before I saw 'lifetime warranty' written on the box of the next one. When that one broke just a couple of weeks ago I did consider it, but I couldn't be bothered going through an unknown process with who knows who to try and get it replaced. I just wanted a replacement straight away so I went and bought one. I was also hoping that the Model 3 would be improved and I note that it is a little heavier in the (obviously very weak) area that broke. I'm in New Zealand and so I expected the local store would tell me to take it up with the manufacturer. I assumed that would then become a drama of posting the broken one overseas hoping a new one might be sent back. As you can see, I'm not one to get into a lot of drama over an $80 NZD item. I'll send a photo of the broken one to your email if that will make it easy?
@@robax That sounds good to me :-) We try to make the warranty process very easy - like you say, it can be very expensive to return a capo to the UK from overseas!!
@@g7thcapo Great service, thanks guys!
Just bought one in Dublin
Does it work just as well on a classical guitar, too?
I just got the Performance 3 capo. It's everything you say it is - on a 6 string. However, on my Rick 12, it just doesn't work as well as my Performance 2. I guess the thick strings don't let it clamp down on the thin ones right next to them.
Hi! We might be able to help with a Rick 12 string... Ping an email to hello[at]g7th.com and we can have a chat :-)
@@g7thcapo I just did. Thanks.
Just picked one up, sad to say it is the worst performing capo I have tried yet. My D and G string buzz intensely with this capo. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
Sorry to hear that Emil! You're covered under our Free Lifetime Warranty - please can you email hello[at]g7th.com so we can organise a replacement for you?
I have an older model that seems to have broken and wont release. Dont these have a lifetime warranty?
They do :) head to www.g7th.com and submit your warranty claim, I'll get a new one out to you right away!
I want ! , how to get me 1 to Cyprus please ..? . I already own 2 of your capo's , would love to try this too. Regards . DW
Thanks Davey! They'll be on sale from March 2019 either from local stores or from www.G7th.com :-)
The package says “steel string” . Can it be used on nylon classic guitar?
We now have a Classical version available!
I must've got a bad one because I'm getting buzzing on my old alvarez yairi & my brand spanking new Martin Om-28..I'll try some other guitars tomorrow with different fb radius to check if buzzes on all my guitars. Maybe if it's a defective unit
Sorry just saw this! hit me up at Tommy.loose@g7th.com and I'll sort this for you :)
Is background music Alan Gogoll's?
Sure is :)
Can i use it on a soprano ukulele?
Hi, thanks for your comment! We find that the P3 will often work on a Soprano Uke, but if you email me at Tommy.loose@g7th.com then we can check some measurements such as neck depth and width etc :)
Best wishes,
Tommy - G7th, The Capo Company
Hi! Thank you very much for the answer.
I think i will buy the newport, but im not sure. I will try to contact you at the email.
Thank you again! :)
Hi!
I contact you. Thanks for the answer again.
Would it work in a classical guitar?
Hi Rodrigo! The answer is ... maybe :) It'll very much depend on your neck width - feel free to hit me up at tommy.loose@g7th.com and we can figure it out!
Very good capo, just like the classical G7th P2 that I have, but I am afraid I have to return the newly bought P3. Although the rubber is 52mm in length, which fits most guitar. However, it is only useful for the first 5 frets if you have a 46mm nut guitar (a Lakewood in my case). Yes, you rarely use a capo above the 5th frets but sometimes you just do especially if the composers are intended to. Is there any technical difficulty to just have a slightly longer rubber? I would be happy to buy one again if there is a more versatile version of Performance 3. A rubber with a length of 2 1/4" would help a lot, which the shubb C3 (12 strings) and Thalia have, I like G7th the most overall, but it is just not working for my guitar.
Hi Eric, thanks for your feedback! I've passed your request on to the team. We really appreciate the feedback, it's very useful! Please can you tell me what model Lakewood you have?
G7th The Capo Company it's a m32cp
When will this be available in the USA?
They should be available in stores from March 2019!
Starting March 1st?
This looks awesome! Just to make sure- what range of radii will this works on? Can it adapt to a 20" radius?
Anything from 7.25" to completely flat :-) 20" is no problem at all
Hi, G7th! I love your products.
Do you know when I will be able to find the Performance 3 in Italian stores?
Thank you!!!!!
They should be available from March 1st :-)
@@g7thcapo Thank you!!!! :D
@@MattyPeq so, they are not,, still
I was really hoping I could get rid of my various other capos after investing in this one, but it simply doesn't work on the first two frets of my steel string without buzzing (either the low E or G, or both). Wish I'd invested in the heritage instead (hopefully that one would work). :(
Sorry to hear! hit me up at Tommy.loose@g7th.com I'll sort this for you :)
I just bought the g7th performance 3 ART capo and i get fret buzz mostly on the first fret, but also everywhere else, i apply enough pressure. Is my capo broken? Does my guitar need to be adjusted? I played a friends guitar and he had a g7th. I had no problem with playing his guitar with his g7th. Can anyone help?
Hit me up at Tommy.loose@g7th.com :)
Amazing video! May I ask what song is playing in the video's background, please?
"Apricot Eyes" by Alan Gogoll
@@g7thcapo Thank You!
😮😮😮
Is there any difference between the G7th 2 and this one?
Hey Emanuel, thanks for your comment!
The main difference is that the Performance 3 has the ART string pad (Adaptive Radius Technology) - it'll adapt to the radius of any 6 string acoustic steel string/electric, with no buzzing and unrivalled stability of tuning :)
The P3 is also a little more substantial than the P2 and doesn't have the grip on the top bar.
Please do let me know if you have any further questions, Happy New Year!
Tommy
Tommy.loose@g7th.com
I bought a Performance3 Special Edition Celtic Engraved. Beautiful part. But: I didn't get a clear intonation on any guitar (Gretsch, LAG, Furch, La Mancha). Usually the A or D string buzzes. Or the strings are dead. Pressing harder doesn't help. It's especially bad on the first and second frets. I sent the first Capo back and ordered another one somewhere else. The result is the same. I am helpless and disappointed. I can't understand all the good reviews. Too bad
Hi there, so sorry to hear this! Please email me at tommy.loose@g7th.com and I'll sort this out for you right away :) Happy New Year! Tommy - G7th
Will this capo work with classical guitars? If not which of your models supports classical guitars?
While the capo will adapt to a fit radius, it's not really wide enough to go higher than the 3rd fret on a classical guitar. Our Performance 2 Classical capo is made specifically for that, you can see them here: www.g7th.com/performance-2-classical-silver
What is the difference between the performance 2 and performance 3?Only the performance 2 is available near by me, Is it better? Or performance 3 is better?
Does the performance 2 also have this all neck profile shape adjustment?
Hi Devang, thanks for your question :) The Performance 3 features the Adaptive Radius Technology string pad, which will adapt to any 6 string radius and ensure no buzz and fantastic tuning stability. The Performance 2 is also a little slimmer than the Performance 3. Please feel free to contact me directly at Tommy.loose@g7th.com if you have any further questions!
Hey, i just bought one and the strings are buzzing a lot. The E, A, and D string buzz a lot. How can i fix this?
Sorry to hear that! Send an email to hello[at]g7th.com and we'll get this sorted for you.
Having ART does this mean it will also adapt to a flat fingerboard such as a classical guitar?
Hi Paul! Apologies for the delay in our reply. ART will adapt to be completely flat, HOWEVER, it hasn't been designed for a Classical guitar. Specifically, it's not long enough to accommodate the wider fretboard. It would be fine for the first 2 or 3 frets, but after that you will probably struggle to get it to cover the final string. Feel free to contact us through the website if you want to chat more :-) www.g7th.com/contactus
When you shake the capo are u suppose to hear a slight rattle on top of the capo where the art tech is at? Just wondering.
Hi Bryan! No, it shouldn't rattle. Sounds like a bit of your ART mechanism might have broken. Ping us an email at hello[at]g7th.com and we'll get you sorted under the free lifetime warranty
got mine yesterday im not one bit impressed ,takes a lot of fiddling about to get it spot on.i think ill be using my shrubb a lot more.
Hey Anthony, sorry to hear this! Sounds like you may need a replacement - please contact me at Tommy.loose@g7th.com and I'll sort that out for you no problem :)
I bought a Performance 3 capo but it just doesn't work. It rattles when I put it on and strum/pluck the strings (something inside the capo itself rattles - very annoying). Also it can't seem to get even tension on my 13-56 strings, which causes the B string to also rattle. Shame, I had high hopes for this. Think it might be some sort of quality control issue, the capo itself doesn't 'feel' good. It cost me almost three times the price of my D'addario NS Lite, which feels more convenient, doesn't have minor imperfections like visible glue under the rubber pads, and operates more smoothly.
I'm going to return it to the seller, just want to know whether this is a frequent issue so I can think twice before bothering to buy another one.
Sorry to hear that! You're covered by our Free Lifetime Warranty - do you want to drop an email to hello[at]g7th.com and we can send you a replacement to try?
@@g7thcapo Thank you that's kind. If sending to Poland is not an issue for you then I would appreciate a replacement straight from the company. If you can provide it will arrive at my door within 7 days from the day you send it then I'll be interested. Otherwise I'll just return my capo to the seller and get a refund.
@@iamdissapoint4614 We can ship a capo to Poland in that time. Send an email to hello[at]g7th.com and we get it organised :-)
@@g7thcapo Alright guys I've sent you an email. So far impressed with your customer care, let's see where do we go from here.
@@iamdissapoint4614 are you impressed still?
Hello, i would like to ask, if this capo is working fine with a Classical guitar. Maybe you mentioned it, and i haven't noticed. Thank you and i wait for your response.
Hi Loukas! It does work on them, but it's probably not long enough to go higher than the first 3 frets. For Classical guitars, we still recommend the Performance 2 Classical capo, which is longer and has a completely flat string pad.
@@g7thcapo Thanks very much for the information. I'll go for the Performance 2 classical.
Any plans for a banjo version?
Sorry Josh, no. This one should work on a banjo, but we don't currently have any plans to make a smaller one for specifically for banjos.
7th liker (my lucky number) 😍😍
Mine is terrible in the first fret
Sorry to hear! hit me up at tommy.loose@g7th.com :)
I dropped my capo because I had it on the headstock and the bass player decided to swing his bass and it hit the capo off the headstock, when it landed on the floor the plastic button to open and close the capo broke off, is there a way to replace it or am i screwed?
Hi Onix! Please can you send an email to hello@g7th.com with a picture of the capo and your postal address? We'll get you sorted :-)
"🧢 OH"
Either you mean 'that's a lie'
OR
You're being rather clever and using a cap to make the word capo :)
Either way - thanks for your comment :)
@@g7thcapo I am just appropriating the youth's emoji culture and being clever. No cap. Can I have a free 🧢 OH now please?
will this have a classical model as well?
Hi Eric! No Classical model for this one - as all Classical fingerboards are completely flat we decided that our existing Classical options (P2, Newport, Nashville and UltraLight) were sufficient. Also, we didn't want to make this one long enough to fit a Classical as it would then have felt like a compromise on the non-Classical guitars, which was our primary aim.
Doesn’t work well at all, just got mine today and was very excited to have a well working capo that fits perfectly with my guitar but the strings were buzzing all the time.. even my 10 euro capo that’s like 8 years old performs better
Sorry to hear! Please email me at Tommy.loose@g7th.com and I’ll get you sorted :)
It doesn't look like it will go flat enough for a classical guitar.
Hi there, thanks for the comment :) it'll work on a flat neck too, but for a Classical you'll just need to make sure that the top bar will be long enough - we have other models for Classical guitars too, feel free to email me at tommy.loose@g7th.com if you'd like to chat further :)
G7th. The worst capo i have ever had.
Thanks for your comment :) Sorry to hear! Feel free to email me directly at tommy.loose@g7th.com - would like to get you sorted!
This capo is way over priced and quickly lost its reliability...I was excited when I first purchased it...it worked great...but soon I started having trouble with buzzing strings...I feel let down especially for what I paid for it...I really liked this capo...but I had to go back to my Ernie Ball capo

Sorry to hear! Hit me up at Tommy.loose@g7th.com and I'll get you sorted :)
I'm sorry but I do not see how any capo can claim to not put a guitar out of tune. As soon as you deflect a guitar string, for example by pushing it down to meet a fret with the finger, you increase the tension in the string and the pitch rises. Whenever you use a capo and then fret strings below it you are deflecting the strings in two places.The tension increase and therefore pitch rise with the string depressed in two places must be greater than when the strings are only depressed in one.
Then try this one. Reviewers agree on the fact that this capo doesn't do that.
@@MattyPeq Then either this capo does not deflect the string or it uses magic. ..... Actually it plainly does deflect the string. What G7th say about it is that the design always ensures that the absolute minimum pressure is exerted at any position along the neck to ensure firm contact with the fret. So it isn't squeezing the string down behind the fret. Even so it has to deflect the string to reach the fret, so it will affect tuning. I expect reviewers are responding to it not having as great an effect as other capos that exert more pressure. You cannot argue that this capo doesn't deflect the string to touch the fret, or deny that fretting the string below the capo places a second deflection in the string.
Hey :) did you have a chance to try one yet?
