About this item

  • Adaptive Radius Technology - gives you maximum tuning stability by mechanically matching the curvature over the strings in ANY position, on ANY guitar neck (steel string acoustic, electric or hybrid nylon).
  • Unique Tension Control - By simply squeezing to attach and squeezing to release, the Performance 3 capo gives you complete and intuitive control over the pressure you place on your strings, meaning you can have confidence that you are in control and will keep your guitar in tune.
  • Easy to use - Designed for one-handed use, in any sized hands. With a little practice it's nearly as quick to move between frets as a spring capo, but without the need for frequent retuning.
  • Versatile - Perfect for any steel six-string acoustic, electric or hybrid nylon string guitars. Stores easily behind the nut for quick and easy access, or on the headstock.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the capo. Some mention that it works very effectively on a wide variety of guitars, and is a profle tool that quietly gets the job done. However, others say that it's both expensive and not effective, it gave inconsistent results, and may not work above the 7th fret on some wider fretboards or 12 string guitars.

50 customers mention17 positive33 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the capo. Some mention it's cheap for a capo but it'll still be worth the money. Others say that it'd be better off buying a basic Kyser clamp.

"...A good, solid clamp first time, every time. So it's worth the $$$. This capo fits all of my guitar necks (about eight different sizes and styles)...." Read more

"...No putting it back together and at that point it was useless. I did buy another and will be very careful handling this one...." Read more

"...But does it work well? Yees! My guitars stay in tune, even from different capo positions. Pop it on and play. No re-tuning or fine tuning...." Read more

"...Still looking for the 6 stars button. Or 7.Tuning stability is perfect with hardly any pressure needed, due to the radius compensation - works..." Read more

46 customers mention10 positive36 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the noise produced by the capo. They mention that it creates a terrible buzz and rattles in the strings. They also say that the cap has a fatal flaw that transfers loud noise through the neck when you relieve tension. Some customers also mention that the caps doesn't mute the big E string properly and that it dampens the tone of the guitar.

"...in between frets it was or how it was positioned, would make the guitar go out of tune...." Read more

"...Even after significant pressure, I had problems with string buzz when using the G7...." Read more

"...’s specific neck size and strings, it will not seal properly and cause buzzing as it’s off-center...." Read more

"...you loosen it afterwards; it's not that much pressure, yet there's no string buzz.Not for the inpatient though!..." Read more

Very nice quick capo - perfect pressure
5 Stars
Very nice quick capo - perfect pressure
After decades of using my old Kyser quick lock capo, I decided that I wanted something a bit better. I'm glad I chose this one. The mechanism allows you to easily squeeze the capo closed in the desired position and only apply the amount of pressure you choose. This doesn't throw the tuning so out of wack as a very tight capo. So, theoretically, you could use this at a gig with only one guitar and only need minor tuning adjustments when putting on or taking off the capo. I've successfully used it as high as the 10th fret on my acoustic.
