Great Grip for the Buck
I found this to be the best capo for the money out there and I've used several. Very quick on and off, adequate pressure without overclamping, and ease to keep on my guitar headstock during live performance with my Ovation. With a lifetime warranty, online registration, you just can't beat this, especially in it's price range. Don't be afraid to try this one.

...Really?
I just got this capo, and within a couple seconds of playing it, some of the strings started buzzing and fuzzing out. I tried to adjust the capo many ways, even tried pressing the capo into the strings (which fixed the problem) but a minute into my ownership, it's just plain and simple: I need my capos to do one thing, and that's press the strings down adequately, and this capo doesn't do the job. I'll be returning it as soon as i can.

Made really well and solid. intonation is spot on when I do D chord forms up and down the neck. My other capos are out of tune when I do this so 5 stars

so much better than other clamp capos-I have them all! This clamps in tune on first go and perfect on every fret. I read the spring is not as tight and wont make B sting sharp-worked perfectly for me

I was getting to the point of dreading using my capo (which I must do much, as I lead sing-alongs at 2 nursing care facilities. I didn't realize my former capo wasn't holding securely, and I was at a bit of a loss as to what was going on. The sound was dull, and there was much buzz, regardless of how I positioned the capo. Then I got the G7 Nashville. Wow! What a difference. Strings are so secure and bright (great lows too!) that it sounds like a movable nut. The slim design does not hinder my chording, even with something like my "test case" B7. I noticed at first that it appeared that my new G7 was nudging the strings toward the bottom of the fretboard when I placed it, which I didn't like, but then I figured out that I need to position the G7, pressing it down on top of the strings with my right hand, then release the spring loaded lever with my left. Using this method, the strings stay perfectly in place. (I'm not interested in super fast capo changes, I rather aim for more precision. Incidentally, I place capo immediately behind the fret.)I'd call it the perfect capo. Thanks G7 and Guitar Center!

spring too heavy

i have two older G7 Nashville capos and they work fine on my telecasters. It seems like this one has too heavy of a spring, and the strings distort out of tune when applied. The Teles even have vintage frets, so there shouldn't have to be that much pressure to make it work. The other two capos do not distort the tuning at all. If i were to buy another of these, i'd go to the store and compare the springs before i purchased it.
Good as a Kyser

I've had it for just a little over a week now, and it works just as good as a Kyser, and it looks cool too. Only problem is (a problem with Kysers too) with big necks it doesn't do to great, they both make the guitar out of tune. We'll see if the pressure it gives now last for a while, it still has the same pressure as it did brand new.
