I have one.
Jim Dunlop.
It rocks.

While you don't get one, you can use a pencil and tie it to the neck.

Mine might be a dunlop as well. I prefer the claw style ones as opposed to the string style. Make sure you get the proper one [straight or radial] to match your fingerboard.

G7th makes a nice capo. Their capo's are clamp-style, not the wrap-around crap that you normally see (about $20 methinks). Most of the time you aren't going to just slap one of these on-and-off and change keys. You will need to adjust your tuning -- unless you are playing crap --- then it won't matter if you are in tune, or not.

Personally, I believe that capos were designed by the antichrist to keep guitarist from getting brain-and-hand cramps.

If most of the stuff you play lives in the first-position ... it's a great way to move-up or down to match the range of a vocalist. If the vocalist is an extremely beautiful woman with a sultry look --- for goodness sake .... have a capo handy in your gig-bag.

I own two, both are Kyser quick change. It's a necessary item for any guitar player's toolbox. They have 100+ cool applications. One of my favorites is guitar harmonies like Hotel California by the Eagles.

Sorry evol ...

I said VOCALIST .. not singer. In my mind (which is a bit hollow at times), there is a huge difference.

I have one but I never use it. I'm looking at it right now. I went to use it about two weeks ago for the first time in years. There was all this white stuff on my fretboard. The rubber had rotted off the part that lays across the strings. I never could get used to capos, and I agree with Desmond on the whole capo/antichrist thing. lol.

Well, I have had others say, "Hey man, just bar chord it. " Well, I do, and I have not gotten quite the sound as evol666 is saying. Trying to get that almost mandolin sound. Has anyone ever used the Planet Waves capo? I will be trying out all of them, but I was just reading about them. I want to try that G7 capo also.

I have a Kyser that I had never used much until one night while I was out on the road just sitting around in a motel room i started messing around with it and started to uncover some of the value of a capo.
The G7 I tried out and while they are one of the more pricey capos they are one of the nicest and easest to use but I like the Kyser because I can just clip it to the headstock and grab it when I want it.

And if you ever get a 12 string you will definately want one.

Don't know if I will be going for a 12 string. I want to buy a bass and become better at that, though. Probably a 5 string. If I am going to go that route, I might as well do it like I want, with pizazz.

Desmond - are you talking about my signature? That singer quote from Noel Gallagher? It's on all of my posts. Sorry if you thought it was a reply to your post.

Hey evol -- no problem ... I can't sing --- ;-)

I got the wrap-around Dunlop (straight and radiused). I never use them. But I'm still in the rookie phase. If I ever get to the point to be picky about key and sound and stuff I'll probably have to use it. I hate how they make strings stiffer and how they often ruin the tuning. With a 12er, micro-fixing the tuning on and off to accommodate a temporary capo is not an option; I want to spend my time playing, not retuning.
