About G7th, The Capo Company:
Since 2004, G7th has been changing the way guitarists have looked at capos. We work hard to continually improve our designs and make our capos even better, to give guitarists the greatest possible, distraction-free, capo experience. The award-winning original Performance capo won acclaim from guitarists worldwide for its unique Tension Control system; now the Heritage and Performance 3 capos are turning more heads thanks to our patented Adaptive Radius Technology™ (ART®), which offers unrivalled tuning stability by mechanically adapting to match the curvature over the strings (radius) on any guitar. With ART®, one capo delivers complete confidence that there will be no string buzz or need for constant retuning.
That’s why we say – G7th is The Future of Capos™.
