   acoustic groove – March 28, 2020

   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’ capo Note: 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!!!Read more

   I was asked to write a review so here goes nothing. This Capo clamps. It clamps so much. Infact it clamps all the things not just guitars. Ukulele,s piano, cat, capo doesn’t care who it clamps. Things try to escape from capo’s vice like clamp but it just clamps down with no restraint. This capo clamps like that’s it’s job. Clamps from Futurama wish he had clamps that clamped this remarkably strong. If I had to sum up this capo in one word it would be clamp. It clamps nicely.Read more

   The capo works great, looks great, and has a great weight to it. A little heavier than any capo I’ve ever used, but it feels really good. Padded at all points that touch the guitar neck. Only draw back..it does not have a GPS, so when (not if) I lose this one, I’ll have to buy another 😉 .Read more

   I bought the GUITARX-X Capo to replace my lost/misplaced G7th Capo which I loved. I’m able to move the Guitarx-X Capo very fast down the guitar neck. High-quality hard steel Capo just like the G7th; however, I can move Guitarx a lot quicker than the G7th. I play sometimes at my church and singers change chord tones when they sing and I have to adjust quickly because it’s a live performance. These church members are not trained singers and most of the time can’t even keep their signing on the same chord, which is very frustrating. This capo works for me and I’m impressed with the quality. Only time will tell how long this capo will last because my G7th Capo was able to take a beating.Read more

   This capo is compact yet heavy and solidly built, clamps down firmly, and all six strings ring true the first time you put it on, with no adjustments or fiddling around necessary. It’s easy to use and you can move it fret to fret mid-song if you want, no problem. No fret buzz or anything. However it clamps down so firmly that it sends some guitars out of tune. I tuned a Telecaster with Ernie Ball hybrid 9’s and then put this capo on the third fret and checked it with the same tuner – all six strings were sharp by around 25% up to the next note. Then I tried the same thing with a Strat with Ernie Ball 10’s and it pretty much stayed in tune across the board.Read more

   So far so good. It’s very well constructed, and I like curved side of capo for the back of the fret board. The capo I had been using on my guitar had begun wearing through the finish on the back of the fret board where it clamped down. That might be unavoidable, but I’m hoping that the curve on this capo will keep it from getting worse. I can tell that the capo is high quality. It’s got some heft to it and it has a nice finish. My only gripe is that it seems to clamp down a little too hard. My guitar is a little sharp when I use it. I’ll update in the future if it “breaks in” and doesn’t clamp down quite as hard in the future.Read more

   You know, I initially thought the price was a little steep for such a simple device but,,, Let me tell you. After this thing dropped into my hand, I instantly knew this was a game-changer. Music related stuff usually costs a lot as it is an expensive hobby and I don’t make very much. So, I don’t like to shell out my hard earned money for something that is going to be a major disappointment. Heck I’ve still got the first guitar stand I bought when I started playing guitar! Lol… This capo is heavy and very well made. Knowing that it should last about as long as I’d like to keep it helps me in verifying I made the right decision. I love how well it holds the strings without causing any undue fret buzz. Also, the way it is designed, it makes different key transitions between songs easy and practically effortless!! Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope this helps you in your decision to get this godsend of a device. ;)Read more
