Default Favorite Capo?
I'm sure there may already be a thread about this, however, what is your favorite capo?

Mine is a G7th Performance 2. Absolutely love it! I have an Elliott too and like it, but the G7th is always going on my guitar.

The G7th is my fav. I recently tried a Thalia capo and didn't care for it.

Second fav is the Dunlop Victor (Planet Waves has a similar design).

Yeah I found the Thalia bulky and kinda hard to squeeze.

Shubb. I've tried most of the popular ones, and the Shubb is my favorite.

Basic original Shubbs - they are reliable , some have lasted for 25 years or more - the do the job.

Really no point in changing.

For me in this order

Elliot
Shubb Deluxe
New Shubb Fine Tune -- just got it & like it. It may move up, but too soon to tell.

Not a fan of G7 or Kyser

I have a choice of four, all Shubbs. Tried a Kyser once, found it far too stiff to use comfortably.

Kyser all the way! Simple and extremely effective for my use.
