G7th launches 12-string capos

G7th launches 12-string capos

Two years in the development, G7th has announced its new capos for 12 string guitars. The UK company says the secret lies in its patent-pending  “Compensated  String Pad”  for  the Newport  and  Heritage capo  models.  Previous capo designs have applied extreme tension to  all 12  strings on a guitar,  inevitably pulling  most  of them  out  of tune.  Now,  G7th’s unique  ridged  design allows  for  the heavy  and  octave strings  to  be fretted  at  the same  time  and with  the  same pressure,  eliminating  the need  for  excessive tension.

Using  the  flip-lever and  adjustment  knob of  the  Newport range,  the  updated 12  string  model allows  for  quick and  easy  adjustments, meaning  the user can  dial in  exactly  the tension  he or she requires  and feel  confident  that an  extreme  retune won’t  be  needed.

Coupling  the  Compensated String  Pad  with G7th’s  ART  (Adaptive Radius  Technology),  the Heritage  capo  for 12  strings  continues to  provide  maximum tuning  stability  with the  minimum  tension required  over  all 12  strings, the maker says.

Both  the  Newport and  Heritage  12 string  capos  are available  online  now from  www.G7th.com/12-string and  will be  in  stores soon.
