Detail 01
It's a capo

G7thNashville Capo
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A capo at a mid-range price from a capo-focused brand. For guitarists who change keys often and want a purpose-built clamp, not a hardware-store spring.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Singers transposing a song up a fret or two
- Open-chord players covering songs written in awkward keys
- Gigging players switching keys between songs on one guitar
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical necks — wide and flat, so fit needs checking first
- Players who want partial-capo or selected-string tricks
- Twelve-string and bass necks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
$29.99
Mid-range for a capo. The money goes into the clamping mechanism and the pad, not the looks.
Detail 03
G7th
A maker whose main business is capos, so this is a purpose-built tool rather than a repurposed clamp.
Detail 04
Clips on and off
Nothing about the guitar changes, so one capo moves between instruments with similar neck width.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Any capo pulls strings sharp — check tuning after clamping, especially with high action
- 02Sit it just behind the fret wire, not on top, or notes buzz
- 03Measure neck width where you capo most; fit varies guitar to guitar
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it fit both my acoustic and my electric?
It clamps a standard six-string neck, so it moves between guitars. The ones to check first are necks that are unusually wide or very flat, like a classical.
02Where exactly do I put it?
Just behind the fret wire of the fret you want, with even pressure across all six strings. Each fret up raises pitch a semitone — capo at two turns G shapes into A.
03Is this better than a cheap spring clamp?
The difference is pad quality and how evenly pressure lands. Uneven clamping is what pulls strings sharp and causes buzz, and that is what a generic clamp tends to do.
04Can I leave it clamped on between sessions?
No reason to. Park it on the headstock above the nut instead, and wipe the pad now and then — grit trapped under it is what marks a finish.
