What type of capo do you use ?

[jdc916]

I just got a 2011 814ce that I absolutely love !!!!!   And I have a Kyser quick change that I've had for a loonnnnnnnng time so it's time for a new one.

Anyone have any experience with the Dunlop trigger ? ( flat or curved )
Or the G7 Performance Capo ?

Appreciate your input !
Thanks !

I like the Planet Waves NS Capo.  I have one for each of my guitars.

I just switched from a Planted Waves NS capo to the new G7th Newport capo.  I think it is worth taking a look at.  Really easy to use and it does a good job.

I have a Shubb and a G7th.  They are both good and I grab which ever is the closest.  The G7th can be used with one hand after you get use to the mechanism of it.  A friend I jam with used my G7th one evening and said he had to get one.  I let him take it home for a week and he returned the next with a new one of his own.  I use both of these on every guitar I have.  I too have an 814ce....

Went with the Newport because of its lower profile.  Really easy to take on and off with one hand.

I hav a Kyser and a Schubb. I bought the Schubb specifically for my 000-28 EC, which has the nice meaty Mod V neck. The Kyser is very nice on the less chunky necks of my other guitars.

I prefer a Shubb capo. I got the wide format one that works well with a  12-string (and therefore narrower necks, too). I've also had a Kyser for ages that can't be beat for one-handed changes. And I've tried a G7 before, but never got used to the added mass on the guitar neck.

i have a G7th - i like the build, aesthetics, the smoothness in operation & the fineness in pressure adjustment
(simply give it a little squeeze). it is a bit pricey & somewhat heavy ... i like to think of it as the 'Gotoh 510' of capos

i prefer the dunlop trigger (curved acoustic) for quicker changes & i'm partial to the nickel finish -
i find that it has less of a tendency to bend the strings sharp, unlike some of the others i've tried

I use a Kyser. It's quick and easy to use.

Have both the G7and the Dunlop trigger. Don't care much for either... I don't find they clamp properly on some guitars . Kyser and Shubb are both good capos in my opinion. have both.. my favorite now is the Planet Waves with built in tuner..
Kyser is probably the most popular around jams as they are so easy to on/off

In my opinion,,,, Capos are like strings.. you have to try them to determine which you like. everyone hears and feels them differently , so its up to you not me to figure out which to use for a particular guitar.

I prefer a Shubb capo.

+1 ... I prefer the Shubb for many reasons ... but I also keep a couple of Kyser's around when I need a quick changing capo

I played Kysers for years, but don't use them much anymore due to their tendency to strangle the guitar out of tune.  Now, my favorite is a Shubb Deluxe with the G7 Performance coming in 2nd.  I also have a G7 Nashville, which is a nice spring loaded capo, but doesn't exert enough pressure to truly fret off the strings, especially on my 816ce.  I use it mainly on my 714ce and my electric guitars and it does a good job with them.

I have at least a dozen Shubbs.  They also work great for cut capos.
