drathbun Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I ordered this a couple of months ago and just received it yesterday. This is the new G7th Performance 2 capo. I liked the G7th Performance capo but it was a little heavy and didn't clamp to the headstock (neither does my Schubb). When the G7th Newport came out, I bought it immediately thinking it was a lighter version of the Performance. Although significantly lighter, tension is adjustable much like the Schubb and it still won't clamp to the headstock. The new Performance 2 has: one hand operation adjustable tension much lighter than the first generation pressure sensitive tension adjustment The first gen G7th Performance weighs 2.7 oz. The new Performance 2 weighs in at 1.8 oz. Here are my three G7th capos; top to bottom Performance, Newport, Performance 2: Here is a YouTube video about the capo: http://youtu.be/Wxd3z0d6OVg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 dammit man. another gadget . I like the sound of this . I have exactly the same thoughts as you about the other g7 capos. The Newport is a great job , only let down by the fact that it can't be clamped to the headstock . but I still liked it enough to give my original g7 away to my pal.

BluesKing777 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Rats! More stuff. I will wait for it to turn up at a local shop and give it a try, but my Elliot and Shubbs just bought are pretty spectacular! I have a tin full of failures (I mean old capos ) and after showing the Boss the 'mojo bag' that the Elliot came in, she bought me some little organza bags to put each capo in..... BluesKing777.

SonofSkywalker Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have a G7th performance 2 capo now and I love does the job great, looks cool and doesn't suck the tone out of my J-35 like the Jim Dunlop one I used to use does They are quite pricey but totally worth IMO Mine is the black finish it's so neat and small you hardly notice it's there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
