Imassuming youve done a quick google search.

When I started playing guitar (like a century ago), if you wanted a capo, that's the one you got, 'cos that's the one there was.

History lesson #2:
'Made in Japan' was a byword for cheap rubbish.
China made fireworks.

Funny how that’s all worked out innit

yeah it is. Now Japanese made guitars are revered. I have been wanting a model series Charvel for years but now they aren't considered "cheap" so the prices are getting up there

Century ago...
You are twice my age?

I would use capos a bit more, but the guitar is almost never perfectly in tune with one on. I may have to invest in a better one.

Yeah, sometimes I need to move the capo around a bit too, because of the tuning thing. Usually means changing the angle a tiny bit.

Absolutely true. Will modify angle in future - never thought of that lol

Different spring, need strong hands...
Not so good for sack constriction

I thought this was about Paulie Walnuts!
