#SHUBB CAPO PRO#
Here are the results in terms of total “distuning minutes” at all three fret positions (again 2, 5, and 7).īreedlove Pro Series D25/SRH acoustic dreadnought: “Distuning” was noted for each capo at each position by the number of “minute” increments (flat and/or sharp noted by -1, or +2, for example) from the “12 o’clock” position on the tuner. Each guitar was retuned before repositioning each capo at the above mentioned frets. Then, each capo was placed on frets 2, 5, and 7 on all five guitars. All five guitars were tuned (standard tuning) using the Snark tuner.

Similar claims, but will there be similar results? I put the capos to the test on five different guitars using one Snark electronic tuner. Its unique design closes onto the neck just like your hand.

Its custom material presses the strings just like your fingertip. The Shubb Capo is designed to reduce tuning problems. It gives you the maximum tuning stability with the minimum possible tension in EVERY position, on ANY guitar neck. The ART system within the top bar of G7th Performance 3 capos adapts to the true curvature over your strings and fretboard, exerting completely even pressure across all the strings - setting a new standard of in-tune, buzz-free use. Now, coupling our Unique Tension Control system with the ground-breaking ART string pad mechanism gives a near-perfect capo experience. The Performance 3 is the culmination of years of designing, tweaking, and improving - but most importantly, listening to guitarists and their views on what a capo SHOULD do. Let’s begin with the claim set forth by G7th: Two capos which boast the ability to keep your guitar in tune when applied to the fret board are compared this day: the Shubb Capo Royale, and G7th’s Performance 3 ART. With G7th’s most recent product, there was only one buzz recorded which contrasted to multiple buzzes with two other capos made by “The Capo Company.” The string buzz contest was settled, in this posting maintenance of tuning is addressed. The G7th Performance 3 ART makes the claim that its Adaptive Radius Technology provides “…buzz-free use.” The claim was held up when compared to the other G7th capos.

String buzzing when a capo is applied was the problem addressed. A few months ago my first capo review involved a comparison of three G7th capos: G7th Nashville, G7th Performance, and G7th Performance 3 ART.

I search because the two primary problems with capos still exist: string buzz a loss of tune upon application. G7th ART (left) Shubb Capo Royale (right)
