I've used my standard 6-string capo on my 7-string (Schecter Revenger-7) and it worked pretty well for the first few frets (not sure how many exactly, can't remember).

Capos suck.


No, actually, I've got a Kaiser 6-string capo in my acoustic case I use for the occasional overdub,and I haven't tried in ages but I THINK you can get all 7 strings with it. Worst comes to worst, they make a classical-width capo which should work.

Aren't capos supposed to be for lamo's or something?

My grandma was getting on my case for not having a "kaberdacher" (kapo) for my folk guitar when she visited.

Look for one from a company called Bird of Paradise. Works every time. ;)

...if you must use a capo, just get a twelve string capo. I haven't used a capo for ten years or more, but I'm still working on growing that extra finger for doing more colorful bar chords.

Only if you think that picks, amps, pedals, effects and straps are for lamos as well. Anything that expands/augments your ability on your instrument is never a bad thing.

Well, aside from maybe the e-Bow. :D

Capos are for the weak.

They are definitely NOT metal, and i'm amazed that Shannon has one in his possession.

I can bust out the capo and play chords that are impossible to fret without it, unless you've got a 12" long pointy finger with 12 joints in it, as well as superhuman barring skills. :fawk:

Capos are true.

If my pointy finger was like that, I wouldn't be a guitar player, I'd be real popular with the ladies, though!:cool:

I hate capos.

But I did try a capo my bassist let me borrow. It was a 6-stringer capo, but it fit fine on my 7, so most will work. Just go to the store, pick up a 7, and see which capos work.

In other words, Steve Vai. Damn that guy has long fingers...

I am not:

- Steve Vai
- Independently Wealthy
- Kroeker

Thus, I cannot afford a 7 string acoustic. :( And unless your amplifier is made of cheese, you're using a mechanical aide too. :fawk:

I don't use it for electrics very often, but on acoustics, all the time.

My amplifier is a hollowed-out pumpkin powered by fireflies and recycled cow farts.
