Hi All!
I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to review one of G7th's new
Ultralight capos. Nick and Simon are class acts and their company is top notch!
This capo is SUPER light and is made of a very flexible yet solid "composite material." This capo is like their other capos in the fact that YOU determine the amount of pressure that comes down across the strings.
This capo is a great option for beginners or pros alike and at a price point that is easily reachable. This Ultralight also features a lifetime warranty just like the rest of the G7th capos.
On to the design. The design is simplistic and user friendly. The Ultralight features a screw and clip. The screw rises to allow for wider necks and can be lowered to make it fit. It features a clip that holds together via pressure.
I tested this on both my Taylor and Martin. It performed wonderfully on both necks!
Of course I had to adjust it accordingly and the best option I found was to have the screw almost unwound, clip it on and then screw it down to put pressure on the strings. Once it was set for either the Taylor or Martin it was easy to make simply adjustments as I moved it up or down the neck.
I've taken some pics which can be found below. I took some pictures of my G7th Performance 2 capo as well so you can see a side by side comparison. Like the rest of the G7th family this Ultralight did not pull any of my strings sharp. At a price of 9.99 British Pounds or about $12 dollars this is an absolute success. Leave it to G7th to hit another grand slam!
Thanks Nick and Simon!
