Don't know which G7 you ordered but I like the Performance one, not the screw on one. Easy on off, one handed operation. I use the uke/banjo model.
Raftergirl I will be very interested in your opinion and comparison of the G7 capo to the Kyser. I have a few capos and I actually like the Kyser best. The reason being is the arm at the back contacting the neck is slimmer and flatter then anything else out there. This coupled with a slim front top section makes chords like E7 still easy to play, see pictures.
People that dismiss the Kyser usually do so based on looks without actually trying it. Plus it clips on to the headstock so you can be cool looking like all the old folk musicians :music:
I am ready to buy the G7 if you say it is better and easier to use then the Kyser.

No worries. I don't ever leave my tuner or a capo on the head stock.Please, even if you do opt for the Keyser, don't clip it on the headstock when you're not using it. Capos look ugly enough on the fingerboard, but at least they're useful there. It does not look cool. When I'm not using it, I put my capos on my mc stand or in my pocket, or if it's a Paige, behind the nut, but not on the headstock.
The same goes for Snarks or other clip on tuners. Tune up, then get that thing off the headstock. Please clip your string ends and don't weave a pick in your strings or stick a cigarette under the strings on the headstock. It's bad enough with a plain headstock, but I've seen this done with a pearl inlaid headstock as well.

I got the G7th capo today. Very light and much lower profile than the Kyser. Not super quick and easy to put on and take off. Also a little tricky to get the tension right. I will be using it mostly on my Loprinzi with a really slim neck which makes it even harder to adjust the tension. I will use it for awhile to see how it goes, but it’s not an instant hit.
