First, this is a REALLY nicely built capo. Well-machined. Not cheap. Sexy curves and the joint is a thing of beauty. I've owned a couple for several years, but have now felt inclined to write this review.

However, there are a couple of issues:

#1 it is HEAVY---REALLY heavy...heavy enough to throw off the balance of your instrument if you're used to a specific one pay attention to these things. I've never had a capo that I had to worry about damaging my guitar, but this one is SO heavy that it can do serious damage if you drop it or scrape it against your guitar. It's a BIT slippery due to the "curves", so you WILL drop it sooner or later.

#2 it has a SMALL jaw size. There are lots of instruments I have (Martin acoustics and some big necked electrics) that I own that this thing just won't fit. I wish the company would issue "V.2" and widen the spacing to fit EVERYTHING, because this one is a deal killer for me, even though I've bought 2 of these capos over the years. I would also love for it to be MUCH lighter. I would like to have more angles to better grip the capo as well.

There should be WARNINGS about the necks this thing will fit, or better yet, remake the thing so it DOES fit everything...

Right now, I just cannot whole-heartedly recommend this capo. It makes a GREAT first impression; however, over time, the faults start showing up. BEWARE.
