The most comfortable capo I've ever used. It's a bit tricky to set up, But for the money these are the best!

I love tge idea of this capo, and it woud be amazing if the materials held up

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021

Super lightweight, easy to attach, and tiny so its out of the way. If they used a hard rubber, i could see it being my favorite capo, but... the rubber that touches the strings is immediately cut by them, so it's basically useless.

Light but not easy to set

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Once set it works great for intonation and being in tune. Light weight and seems to be very non-damaging to the neck. Difficult to set and the screw is flimsy and hard to tighten. Not quick to set.

I was Robbed!! Item Defective

I was excited about this capo. I liked the features on it, especially its low profile. I hate a big capo as I usually hit my hand on it while playing and it messes me up. Trust me, I need no help in the messing up department. This capo was the perfect size. I put it on the guitar and played it once...very nice.
However, when I removed it, I noticed the rubber part that lays against the strings had cuts from all the strings. I didnt get concerned at first but after close inspection, the cuts were deep. I did not overtighten the capo, I am careful with that as to not damage my guitar. I then discovered that the rubber was either cheap or dry rotted. I could easily cut it and peel it off with my fingernail, and with very little pressure. There is some of the same material on the back of the capo near the rear of the adjustment screw. That was also dry rotted and cut easily with a fingernail. SO, either this capo sat in the amazon warehouse in the heat too long, or the manufacturer failed to use a quality rubber or silicone. whatever the case, it is not right and I am out of $16 plus dollars. I cannot return this as I had to nearly destroy the package to get the capo out. Amazon live chat is either gone for good or impossible to find as I went round and round on the website looking for help. I refuse to call and wait forever just to not get any help.
That aside, shame on G7th for making this useless product. !6 dollars is a lot of money to me and to others. Do not buy this capo, you will regret it. I sure did.

Works Well

I wanted a very slim capo. This works well. The larger spring loaded capos I have sometimes get in the way when playing down close to the capo. This is much less intrusive, more like playing close to the nut. It is well constructed and easy to use.

Couldn't get it to work after the first song, thing immediately after playing one song.

Had high hopes from this little guy, I love their other model but this one was too light weight. Pad fell apart from the strings and it was a struggle to get on the neck of my J45. Wish I would've known hope this helps

Honey, I shrunk the capo

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This capo design is seriously flawed. It didn't remotely come close to fitting on my Yamaha Pacifica 112V, Traveler Escape Mark III, or Orangewood Oliver. With the screw barely hanging on its last thread, the capo squeezes the strings to the fretboard - this is on the 1st, 2nd & 5th frets. Even worse, it is severely angled towards the high strings, so the high E string is touching the fret board, while the capo barely is touching the low-E string. Also, the rubber pad is overly soft and I had to peel the capo away from the strings because they dug into the rubber and got stuck. The capo has permanent cuts in the rubber now from just test fitting it on 3 different guitars. I thought I was going crazy and had to check the packaging a dozen times to double, triple, quadruple, etc. check that this wasn't the Ukulele capo. Sadly, it is not - it is indeed intended for full sized acoustic and electric guitars.

I have to assume there is some manufacturing issue, because this just cannot be right (did the factory confuse inches for mm's?). However, even if it fit well, I can't imagine this being an acceptable capo. It is literally a cheap plastic piece of junk and I would have no confidence in it equally capo'ing all strings at a proper tension. Quite surprised this comes from a company that makes $60-$260 high-end capo's.

No buzz, stays in tune, design oversight may prevent it from working reliably on fatter necks

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2017

Color: RedVerified Purchase

The adjustment screw is not long enough. I have one, maybe one and a half, threads holding it on at the 7th fret.

I do like that the guitar seems to stay in tune. It took some getting used to. I was about to return it but watched the video again, and there's a knack to it. Even so, not as easy on a real guitar as they'd like you to think. Easy enough.

In the promo video, the actor in the lab coat playing the research scientist, significantly, has no guitar with him. I realize now that the faux scientist may as well be their actual research staff because if they'd bothered to design it around an actual guitar, they'd see that the screw needed to be longer for the strap to reach all the way around a fat neck, with enough threads not to eventually strip, which I'm fairly sure it will. That's where the lifetime guaranty will be useful, but it's still disappointing.

Because the UltraLight works better on the lower frets, where it will get the most use, and does a good job otherwise - no buzzing, stays in tune - and because of the warranty, I'm going to keep it. But It's dismaying to see an obvious design blunder make it all the way to production. They aren't cheap capos, and you can easily imagine somebody was thinking they could save a few cents cutting some corners.

I also own the G7th "flagship" device, the Performance 2, and it has always buzzed so I don't use it. I haven't gotten around to trying the warranty on that one yet.

Poor design. I'm baffled.

I had high hopes for this capo based on other G7 capos I own. The capo fits poorly (It's too tight). I tried it once on an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar and upon first use the rubber cap had deep permanent cuts from the strings. The material is so soft it falls apart immediately. Even a fingernail will cut deeply into the rubber. My other G7 capos (Newport, Performance) are great so I am really surprised at how poorly this one works. This is a real head scratcher.
