X3 Capo for Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar Capo - Also For Bass, Ukulele, Banjo and Mandolin - #1 Brand Among Guitar Capos - Zinc Alloy, Gun Metal

I am enjoying this capo and attribute its great performance with being constructed with superior materials. Bargain priced capo’s may work fine when you first get them but after a time the pad starts wearing and the tension spring weakens a bit and you get fret buzz and tuning problems.I have noticed no tuning issues or fret buzz after using this brand and model. I would recommend to my guitar friends!

A very well made capo easy to use

Works Great

Looks very sturdy..

Great quality, doesn't feel fragile

The GuitarX capo is definitely my capo of choice!Five years ago, i did a side-by-side comparison of the G7th Nashville, Planet Waves NS, Kava trigger-style, Kyser, and the GuitarX 'X' capos. (Note: my requirements include easy on/off clamping to my headstock.)The GuitarX 'X' capo won hands-down for comfort, ease-of-use, light weight, proper clamping pressure, and great looks (gun metal). I since bought two more -- one for each acoustic guitar case.GuitarX customer service also earns an A++. Recently, the oldest and most abused of my three 'X' capos developed a crack.So, i wrote to GuitarX: "If i send you a pic of my cracked 'X' capo and receipt from 4 1/2 years ago, would you send me a replacemnt 'X' capo?" (they have 5 year warrantees)GuitarX cust service: "Sure. Would you like to try our newest 'X3' model?"Me: "Would love to try an 'X3' sometime, but i'm kind of attached to my 'X' capos. Can you just send me an 'X'?"They sent me one of each, so i got what i wanted AND i could try the 'X3'. Now THAT's good customer service!------------------------------------------My review of the GuitarX capos...'X' capo vs. 'X3' capoNote: there is some confusion with the 'X' model -- sometimes called the 'X1', altho mine is not the 'X1' with the plastic spring holders. Mine is the more elegant 'X1' model where the spring attaches directly to the capo metal (originally called the 'X' model, i guess).I already liked my 'X' capo more than any other capo i'd tried -- for comfort, ease-of-use, light weight, proper clamping pressure, and great looks (gun metal).AND -- the 'X3' is definitely an upgrade over my beloved 'X' capo. The 'X3' is a pinch lighter, thinner and even more elegant than the 'X', with more comfortable rounded edges and easier spring action. It clamps just as well, but with less effort -- due to the pivot point being closer to the back-of-the-neck, i think. The rubber of the 'X3' also protects the neck better at the pivot point. The 'X3' is also a bit shorter -- a much better length (the 'X' is longer than it needs to be, even for my wider-necked Taylor). I may buy two more 'X3' capos!CONCLUSION: The GuitarX 'X' and 'X3' are really great capos!!! I can't recommend them enough for 6-string, steel-string acoustic guitars.Bravo GuitarX!!!

Capos are often a pain and my criteria were simple. I wanted a capo that would stay put, not detune the guitar, was easily placed/removed, and that wouldn’t Mark you the guitar or be too hard on the strings. I also wanted it to stay out of the way of my left hand as I played. I went through about 10 other styles of Capo and even different capos of this general style, even some of the more prominent name brands and this one came the closest to fitting those criteria. It had the most attractive finish and just the right spring tension. It works well on every guitar I have tried it on. I also have the X3 version, which has slightly smaller “grips” to place and release it, and it also works great. This is my go to capo for any of my acoustics when I am playing live. For an electric, I prefer the Shubbs because you can apply perfect tension (it is adjustable) and it is super low profile and really stays out of your way, but it isn’t very quick to set up. I have several of the shubbs and six of the X capos of this style (two are X3), and I always use these on an acoustic. This is a well made, well finished capo.

I am so glad that I purchased this capo for my 12-string guitar. I have purchased many capo's in the past and none of them met my expectations. They would never cover all the strings where this one covers every one of the strings. My guitar now has a good sound while using a copo. It looks and sounds great.
