Capo?

Guys

I appear to have lost my G7 capo ()

Should I just get another one or is there something equally good out there that isn't as expensive?

Well, if you don't care about clipping your capo on the headstock, I love my shubb capos. And I've had the same problem with losing them -_-. Lost it, found it in a duffle bag about 2 weeks ago, played with the damn thing, and now my house has eaten it again.

Hehehe - that's why I have three of them... 2 in my flightcase with cables, and 1 always home...

But I do believe I've lost a few of them over the years - fortunately they arn't that expensive...

I own lots of different capos, but I mostly use Shubbs. Cheap, easy to use, and they sound good.

that reminds me, I 'loaned' my capo to my nephew for his guitar back on christmas eve. It was the only way to render the guitar useful via open tuning.

little did i know I can't find another one like it. I don't even know what kind it was. all I know it worked for me where so many others did not. Each time I've seen him with the guitar since then, the capo has not been on it. I'm feeling like asking my sis-in-law if she can re-appropriate it for me, you know, since he's not using it?

I think the G7 is the best-rebuy!

If I lost my G7th I'd replace it with another.
