About the G7th C31513 Newport Partial #3 Capo. Silver
Small, light and beautifully-formed – The G7th Newport 3 String Partial (or “cut”) capo creates fast and easy open-style tunings with retuning. This quick-release partial capo allows the top or bottom string underneath while fretting the next 3 strings, such as A, D and G on fret 2 for a DADGAD style effect. Then simply flip the lever to release and you’re instantly back in standard tuning.
Meticulously designed for your fretting hand, eyes and ears, and suitable for either acoustic or electric guitars.
The cunningly concealed flip lever design is perfect for heavy strings and high actions, with a knob for fine-tune tension adjustments while on the neck.
Quick open style tunings without the need for any retuning,
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, unlike other flip lever capos, making the Newport capo an excellent choice for players who prefer extremely accurate tension control using an adjustment screw.
Open style sounds without retuning
These are the two most common positions for a 3 string partial capo. Keep in mind that by using a full capo along with your partial also allows you to access these tuning styles in multiple different keys.
DADGAD style – place the partial capo on the 2nd fret (relative to the nut or a full capo, over the low E) to cover the A, D and G strings
Open-G style – place the partial capo on the 2nd fret (relative to the nut or a full capo, over the high E) to cover the D, G and B strings
