Paige 6-String Guitar Capo – Precision USA-Made Capo for Acoustic 6-String Guitars - Smokey Black Finish

Waited way too long to get this just exactly perfect capo. Story - A Sam ash sales associate let me use his personal one many many months ago when I was test driving an expensive Taylor n store; he said make sure you give it back. SMOOTH … I didn’t want to give it back to him of course I did. No sam ash didn’t sell them). Lazy me with a box of assorted capos told myself next day ah don’t need another capo.Wrong. Show last week took me 30 seconds (an eternity) Puttin a capo on first fret with no buzz and in tune …. ENOUGH! Amazon when I get home and find one of these !!This capo has taken away all my on stage performing anxiety about “OK this next tune requires a capo” and then fidgeting and praying for no issues tension tuning when I drop the capo clamp onto the neck telling the same stupid tales while I fidgetThe design is logically perfect. Compact (doesn’t ever get in the way) even pressure (no worries over just one string buzzing out nor one string being out of tune etc) + adjustable tension (use perfectly on any guitar no matter what the set up ) quick as a jackrabbit to confidently slide to any fret, even quick store it behind the nut (a couple of turns and off you go) bottom line all your capo worries / issues are magically gone.Buying two more just to have available for multiple guitars; and likely a few more to give as Christmas gifts Worth every penny, especially if you say the same tentative prayer I silently say when I (used to) put on the standard squeeze clamp capos.Get real. Get one. You will not return it.

I play in a duo with another guitarist. She plays a Taylor GS Mini. We have tried a lot of different capos. We use capos a lot as she changes the key of cover songs to match her vocal range. This poses problems for me as I play a much longer scale acoustic/electric hybrid with a long neck. I've played and worked on guitars for over 30 years but have not used a capo extensively until now. We are never in tune when we put on a capo and never in-tune with each other. We have bought and tried clamp style like Kyser, Shubb, Dunlop and most recently the very disappointing Greg Bennett's Glider (rolling) Capo. Since she plays a Taylor so I thought about buying the Taylor capo as it's the same yolk design as the Paige. The supposed secret of the Taylor is that it has the same radius as the Taylor guitar fingerboard so pressure is evenly applied across all strings. The sellers of the Taylor Capo on Amazon don't tell you this. This is why there are mixed reviews of that Capo. There are youtube videos demonstrating that the Taylor Capo works great on Taylor guitars but try it on a Fender Telecaster and it doesn't work well at all. This Paige looks like the same radius as the Taylor, so I gave it a shot. The Paige costs a bit less than the Taylor Capo but trying it out on the Taylor GS Mini guitar, it performs the best over all the above mentioned brands of capos. Depending on the amount of tension, it pulls the g and b string a bit sharp but not enough to notice by ear. We checked first fret to 5th fret with a tuner. We could get away from having to constantly re-tune each time we move the capo. On the Taylor GS Mini, this capo DOES fit behind the nut when not in use. This may not be true on all brands and models. As for my guitar, its a 20 year old Carvin AE185 25" scale acoustic electric. It has a 14" radius fingerboard and the neck is 1.69" Wide @ Nut, 2.22" Wide @ 24th Fret. The Paige capo does work well on this guitar. It does store behind the nut, and like the Taylor GS Mini, gets strings pulled slightly sharp but I don't need to retune moving it around between the 1st and 5th fret. Due to the neck width I cannot move the capo higher than the 7th fret. I have only one song that I fake a mandolin sound at the 14th so I have to use my Dunlop Capo for that. Overall the Paige Capo is sleek and non-intrusive and seems to work well for us both. I'm ordering another right now.

The best capo I’ve ever had. I have big hands and capos get in the way, especially when playing B7 chords. This one I have no problems playing any chords with

Buyer should know that in the product images two different capos are shown. One with a black rubber bar and a rubber neck clamp and one with a clear rubber bar and a felt neck clamp. Personally I hated the black bar and wanted the clear so it would blend in with the frets more. I don’t believe the clear rubber and felt capo is being offered. It is an awesome capo though. I wish they had clear still.

I've been playing guitar for 35 years and have used many many different capos. None of them come close to this Paige capo in terms of both quality and performance. First of all, I did not expect it to be as small as it was. Like, at first I thought Amazon accidentally sent me a mandolin capo. However, it fit just fine on my Martin HD-28. It's the perfect size. It's super light, but it works incredibly well. I don't feel it whatsoever when I'm playing, which has not been the case with bigger, bulkier spring-based capos. And it operates just flawlessly. I can adjust the tension so it fits in just the right spot and isn't too tight or too loose on the strings, which means intonation is spot on when using it. And when I'm not using it, it slides behind the nut with only a few seconds needed to switch. I am incredibly glad I purchased this capo and highly recommend it.

Quality capo. I have now purchased these of these capos for my main guitars. The adjustable tension makes them accurate and they store away in the headstock. This eliminates the ease of leaving a capo behind d or having them fall out of gig bags.I can’t say enough good things about this item.Solid design. American made.

I see why so many people use the paige capo. Best money I’ve spent very easy to use and sounds great.

Beautifully made capo with perfect intonation. I love how conveniently it tucks behind the nut.
