Comments about Paige 12-String Guitar Capo:
This is the only capo that I have ever found that works on a 12 string acoustic guitar without bending the smaller octave strings sharp. It is a good design, but it needs improvement. It is not usable past the fourth fret on my Seagull, because the capo is too narrow. When new, you have to install the four little plastic tubes onto the capo. There are no instructions regarding installing the small tubes, so I had to use Fast-Fret lube to get them over the first tube. It was not easy. Also, you have to position them correctly so that they make contact with the correct strings once in use. The capo is awkward to use, and I had to put electrician's tape on the sides of the capo so it wouldn't scratch the neck of my guitar. In spite of all these issues, this capo does a stellar job on my 12 string for the first four frets. I can coax it up to the fifth fret using extreme caution not to dig up the neck. I was on the verge of selling my guitar out of frustration because no capo ever worked for me without having to retune every time I changed position. I really hope that Paige comes out with a bigger 12 string capo. In the meantime, at least I now have a limited use 12 string capo.

Comments about Paige 12-String Guitar Capo:
Played guitar 30 yrs. Currently play a Taylor 12 string with Kyser capo. Notice the thin unwound strings next to the thicker wound strings weren't voicing properly. Bought the Shubb C Series 12 string, the G7th 12 String, and the Paige 112 String capos. Tried them all. Paige is the only one that worked flawlessly. G7 has to be pinched and adjusted. Shubb is easist to clamp, but doesn't always work. Paige is hardest to clamp and configure (with the o-rings) but once set,...it works all the time. Cannot make quick changes with Paige so probably not as good for live music,...but provides best voicing.
Comments about Paige 12-String Guitar Capo:
This capo really provides clean, buzz-free sound, and I really like it! Since it is somewhat difficult to take on and take off a guitar, particular if one is performing, the clamp should simply be loosened, slide the capo down and behind the nut at the top of the neck; don't unhook it. Then slide into place and tighten as needed. I even store my guitar in the case with this capo remaining over the nut. It's not the kind of capo you want to use with many different guitars, but dedicate it to one guitar for the least hassle.
Comments about Paige 12-String Guitar Capo:
I've searched for ages for a dependable capo and this is it. An ingenious design with the tubes providing pressure on the first four harmony strings without muting the main strings produces even voicing across all the fret and strings. You must find the ideal spot for where the tubes line up but once that's done, this capo will work on any fret without buzzing or detuning. I'm thrilled with it and recommend it to anyone with an acoustic twelve string.
