Default New twist on an old stand-by capo!!!

I know, I know, you've all seen this capo before…BUT this is different! The wood in this pencil has been TORREFIED!!!! You will NOT believe the difference in tone this will make on your guitar!!!!

I noticed you went with the "Soft" version which I assume is because of your light gauge strings. Do you recommend the Medium or Heavy version for those of us playing guitars strung up with mediums? Also, since the wood is already Torrefied, is there still a need to use a Tone-Rite on it? If so, how long should it be left on??

Torrefied? Does that mean someone named Torre chewed on it?

Can you use the eraser to rub out wrong notes?

Yes…sorry I forgot to mention…..harder leads for heavier strings!!! I've had my pencil on for 72 hours, but still think it needs more Tonerite…...

Looks like that one was Ticonderogaed. Even better than torrefied or whatever the word is.
