Singing to the choir here. Some other capos I have used have damaged my guitars. With G7th thats just not going to happen. I already have 2 Performance 2 capos, a Nashville and a Performance 1. Pretty hard to go past G7th for a really good capo. My Performance 1 did develop a little problem that could not be fixed and had to be retired. G7th sent me a replacement Performance 2 to Australia via airmail within 48 hours. Thats a seriously good warranty. I would have no hesitation in endorsing this product and company. That said, I could really use a gold Performance 2 as I find my self short by one capo at the moment. My own fault, I need to stop buying guitars one day.
