Paige 12 String Capo big thumbs up

[nrand]

I have owned several 12 strings over the years and have found the capo issue always very unsatisfactory with intonation in live settings.

I would always limit myself to one capo setting for my 12 string per live set and was resigned to pretuning / retuning between sets accordingly.

The people at Paige Capos seem to have it figured out pretty well.

Repositioning the capo between songs requires a little more attention to detail but it only requires a few extra seconds and the intonation changes have nearly disappeared. Much faster than retuning. Hooray!

I also tried this on my Taylor 6 string, which has a slightly wider neck for fingerstyle and this unit is also an improvement, less buzzing/intonation issues, when compared the older 12 string Paige capo I normally use for this guitar. For the six-string I used only 3 of the rings.

The little rings are a pain to set up initially but seem very stable once installed and these capos are cheap enough I'll buy a couple more.

Sadly my Shubbs are not getting as much use these days.

I've not tried the Paige, but have had great success with the G7th Performance 12 string model. Works great!
