Newport Capo from G7th

The Newport is the third in the G7th's line of guitar capos. It's priced between G7th's Performance and Nashville capos and it uses a center locking mechanism to attach it to the guitar neck. I liked that the Newport's knurled nut on the backside of the capo is precise-feeling and makes it easy to crank and set the clamping force--it's a way to have control over the exact string tension and therefore intonation.
The Newport slipped onto my Fender Strat like it was made for it! I tried it at many positions on the neck and they were all good with no loss of sustain I sometimes get with other capos. I found it to work the best for me when I placed it just slightly behind the centerline of the fret. The brushed silver 'aluminum' finish on the all-metal Newport along with its slim, low profile design causes it to disappear and not interrupt the classical flowing lines of my guitar's shape.
The Newport Capo from G7th is available at their Web site along with many other capos for six and twelve string guitars as well as Celtic instruments. The G7th Newport sells for $39.95 MSRP and available now at: www.g7th.com/shop/all-products.
