Hey fellows! I'm not sure where to put this, thought this corner of the forum might be the most appropriate. Mods, if not, feel free to move it.
Long story short, I was testing some new ideas on achieving a sitar sound from FXs with a guitar and came across a few videos on the net and suddenly I'm open to a whole new world of sounds and tones... and tunings? But then, this is only acceptable with my fixed bridge guitars and I like to play whatever in whatever guitar I have so I don't have to lug too much stuff around for rehearsals (although last one was 6 months ago already). So the gears in my head started spinning around and the Spider Capo came to memory. Searched it for a bit and the reviews are quite disappointing, like "bad quality build", "falls apart on 1st use" or "not worth the money"... Why Spider Capo? So I can capo specific strings and have them "openly" ringing while doing other stuff along the fretboard...
The Spider Capo is this thing, for all of you who don't know what it is:
... and this is available in 6, 7 and 8 string guitar size...
So, those who have used this or tested it, how good, useful, strong, clumsy, etc. is it?
