great picking Brother, that capo seems to work really well and doesn't pull the strings out at all, but i know that's down to screw tension and how close it is to the fret. i had one the entry level Paige cradle capos i used on my D28 .. i recently bought a Shubb F1 or i would enter and hope for a chance to win that Paige.. Cheers and keep picking. btw did you make it to the Tony Rice Musicfest in Camp Springs last Memorial Day? i saw Josh Williams there and he performed the Church Street Blues Album in it's entirety. what a great weekend.

I've used a Paige Standard for years, it's been a great capo. My D-28CW has the Martin Mod V neck; it's an oblong V, and this capo is flexible enough to accommodate this admittedly odd neck profile. And like Shawn said, the mechanical action of the screw is strong and precise. The Paige Standard is a high standard and the Pro looks like the next capo I should buy.

Great job on the video and your playing. I have been playing guitar since I’m 12 and still playing at 64. I have been using non-coated strings on my acoustics forever and still prefer non-coated for feel and sound. I usually use phosphore bronze but I’ve developed a preference for 80/20 strings. I find the 80/20 strings are a touch less stiff for any given gauge. I’ve been playing D’Addario strings for years. I installed Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 strings 12 to 53 gauge on my Taylor 224ce-K DLX recently and I like the sound after playing them for a while as their brightness kind of tone down a bit. The strings feel nice although I find coated strings somehow feel stiffer. I’m going to try the XS 80/20 strings to see if they feel stiff like the Elixir strings. I am not as much concerned of finger noise when playing, and I don’t mind changing strings often, so I might just stick with non-coated. Thank you for your efforts on the video.

@@ricklachaine5406 hi Rick, thank you very much sir for taking the time to give this thing a spin. I totally get what you are saying, the feel, texture and stiffness of strings, can make an instrument start to feel foreign. it can be disconcerting at best lol. I wish that I could play on regular strings without killing them, but for me it is purely a money and convenience game unfortunately. some people say that coded strings have somewhat of a fake sound, and I would tend to agree with that, however they are about all I’m willing to use.
