G7TH Newport Capo
Davitt & Hanser Distribution
Product Description
Now you can have flip lever action with fine tune adjustment without the playability and tonal problems associated with legacy capos. Reduce time spent tuning by quickly dialing in the right amount of tension to cleanly fret your strings, without bending them out of tune. The Newport Capo is perfect where you don't want too much weight on the neck of your guitar, or to alter neck balance. Carefully radiussed edges and low profile design are easy on your fretting hand and less intrusive on your guitar neck. . . you'll hardly know it was there! As on all G7th capos, the inert silicone wrap around rubber and internal G7th design features eliminate deadening of tone and avoid dangerous metal to wood contact on your guitar neck. Satin-black finish looks great on any guitar!
From the manufacturer
Small, light and beautifully-formed: The low-profile, flip lever guitar capo. The G7th Newport is meticulously designed for your fretting hand, eyes and ears. Flip the cunningly-concealed lever to clamp and fine-tune the tension for buzz-free, tuneful capoing.
- Safeguards your Tone & protects your neck - Wrap-around silicone rubber and internal bar features eliminate deadening of tone and avoid metal to wood contact on your guitar neck.
- Faster and easier to use - Easily fine-tune capo tension - in place on your guitar neck.
- Lighter weight and lower profile - Low profile design keeps the Newport capo out of the way of your fretting hand.
- Perfect for difficult guitars - particularly suitable for instruments that are problematic to use with a capo, such as guitars with a high action or heavy strings.
Quick release and accurate tension control
The Newport capo employs a quick release system using a flip lever, so attaching and releasing the capo is fast and easy, and you don't have to spend lots of time adjusting the tension when moving the capo. You can also adjust the tension while the capo is on the neck very easily, making the Newport capo an excellent choice for players who prefer extremely accurate tension control using an adjustment screw.

First, it's not for my classical guitar; only works with a Western style neck. It fits my Martin just fine and works just great! The string buzz is easily adjusted away using the thumb screw and tightening the clamp just a little. There is no dull thud on some of the strings as I occasionally had with the Dunlops. This capo provides the cleanest sound across the frets of any Capo I've had. Very clean.
A few notes on the Newport G7: It's built well. However, it's not built like those heavy G7's that double just fine as a carabiner. This one is so small on the neck of your guitar that it's never in the way as you might find with the Kyser or several other models. Also it's NOT a one size fit's all like most of the $15 or less Capos with no tension adjustment and only a spring. It is nicely adjustable depending on the weight of your strings. Yes, if you screw the thing really tight you might bend it up I suppose as some have said in reviews. Why would you do that anyway? Just position it correctly and adjust gently and you won't have any buzzing or dull strings. The strings shine very nicely with this clamp; not to hard, not to soft! I suspect this thing will last me many many years of great service! I think I love this capo. It's the best one I've ever owned!
Arrived right on time!
Applying it is as simple as it looks on the G7 website illustrated with videos. The capo clamps on similar to the Kyser (or any other spring loaded quick change capo). The difference is after closing the capo on the neck, the tension adjustment adds additional pressure to eliminate any buzzing, and the adjustment also allows more flexibility with placement between frets. The capo can be centered or close to a fret and any buzzing can be eliminated. If you apply the capo to the same guitar and similar location within the fret position, you do not have to adjust the tension each time. I find by habit I adjust the tension each time since this is still very quick to do.
I use this on the following guitars and strings: Taylor 310CE with light polyweb elixirs; Martin D28 with Medium (phosphor bronze always varying manufacturer), Takamine CD132SC Nylon string D'Addario Pro Arte normal tension. I have tried it on a Taylor 354 12 string (light elixir polyweb) and it sounds fine on that too. The point is this capo works well across various tensions/gauges and neck widths.
Some of the complaints have been where to put the capo. I keep it in a pouch with the music so I do not have this problem. I do not place capos on the guitar unless I am using it. The size makes it easy to put in a pocket. This is not an issue for me.
Now the best part of this particular capo is, you can adjust the strength so as to not pull too hard and make your tuned guitar go out of tune when you move it around the neck. No matter where you put it, it still might need some slight re-tuning as most guitars really need to be (re-tuned) that fact and the small profile on Tele's, Gibbson's and Strat's this Capo really helps to forget it's there when you are playing right next to it. Plus it looks really good on any guitar you put it on. IMHO
This was my 1st experience with Amazon in a very long time and it made them my go to for comparison buying for many new stage and studio tools, gear and just all the general stuff that working musicians need fast and go through a lot.
One more thing is Amazon has beat all the other stores, MF, SW and AMS with their faster delivery and their return exchange hands down I will not even look at SW any more. After they (SW) over built their new facility I only go there to find a way to remove my account, trying out an amp took weeks and cost me 25 % of the money I was trying to save. Just a fact, they sound lazy on the phone and if you order on the weekend, they wait until monday to call you to tell you it's not in stock, MF delivery time has beat them so many times lately that I have given up on them.
Amazon is a great place for tools cords cases etc. Play any guitar you think you want to buy and play thru any amp or speaker unless you know what you want. Tools you know you can depend on, this is the new place to get it fast. Any problems they will work WITH YOU, not against you.
