After 42 years in automotive engineering I can say the PAIGEPRO capo is a well thought out, seriously engineered piece of equipment! I can also say that it will complement your acoustic sound .... professional, enthusiast or just a casual strummer, as I am.
Many capos litter my studio over the years and as yoked capos go, it is the best by far.... innovative product design, outstanding quality, very easy use and it will protect your instrument from application damage.
Recommend you try & buy... you'll not be disappionted!
Honorable mention goes to Lisa and the Customer Support team. She reached out to me post-purchase and pre-shipping to ensure my new PAIGEPRO was going to fit my rig perfectly before they mailed it... that is true customer focus, care and world class service.
The PAIGEPRO for my money is the best playing yoke-style capo designed today. Thankyou Paige Team!
When professional musicians work, they are loyal to their instrument and trusted accessories, and can’t afford anything less. Moreover, the price for these tools is negligible compared to the value and high tolerances demanded for a performance in front of a paying audience.
The PAIGEPRO 6-String Guitar Capo in Nickel is made for that kind work right out of the box. First a new innovative design: a hard material much like the nut on the instrument contacts the strings and delivers a ringing sound at any fret position (I don’t use it above the 5th fret) as if the capo were not in use. Second: The double ground set screw is knurled to perfection WITHIN THE YOKE ensuring a fast setting that will not be bumped or jarred during performance. Third: The nickel finish and elegant design of the top bar that the audience sees, matches most guitar frets in color and in appearance. In other words, you are using a capo almost invisible to the audience.
The overall footprint or size of the PAIGEPRO is similar to other capos, but smaller compared to other yoke-styles and I really like that. I have used a Schub 12-String capo ever since they were introduced, and the PAIGEPRO is the first capo in all those years to gain my trust.
In the Recording Studio the PAIGEPRO capo will be the only capo I will ever use. Again, you can hear the difference between the hard material against the strings as opposed to the rubber-like material other capos use.
On stage, if you are a long-time clamp-capo user you’ll notice that the PAIGEPRO requires some practice to get up to speed. Depending on your technique the PAIGEPRO usually requires two hands to set it, and I use two hands to move it. The makers of the PAIGEPRO like to remind you that the capo can be stored above the nut when not in use. Personally I don’t do that, but if your guitar neck is the right size, it seems to work great.
The PAIGEPRO is not at a price point you may be used to. It happens to be the most expensive capo I have ever purchased. If this is beyond your pocketbook Paige makes other great products including their basic model that works just fine if you are a confirmed yoke capo user.
I want to mention that Paige has terrific Customer Service. I left a message on a weekend and it was answered by an email on a Sunday. Now I am not saying that is going to happen all the time, but Paige takes care of their own!
The PAIGEPRO to me and my work is the best yoke-style capo ever designed. It’s on the road with me now.
I picked one up a couple years back at a bluegrass event. Took about a half hour playing and moving the capo in different locations on my Blueridge 140-2 prototype guitar. It did not matter where I placed it, the integrity of the sound was maintained. I highly recommend this capo.
I’ve been using the Paige Original ETI since 2022, and it’s been a rock-solid companion. When I picked up a new guitar with a custom fretboard radius and wide string spacing, I went searching for the perfect match. I demoed an Elliott Elite—beautifully made and engineered to impress—but to my surprise, it didn’t quite deliver the sustain and clarity I’d come to expect from my trusty Paige.
I’ve always been a little skeptical of how much difference capo padding could actually make. Rubber tubing is the industry standard, after all—but over time, I began to notice how even the slightest pressure or damping from it seemed to dull the natural resonance of my guitars. It’s subtle, but once you hear it, you can’t un-hear it.
That’s where Paige’s ETI technology really shines. I wasn’t sure at first if it was more marketing than substance, but after hundreds of hours playing, I can confidently say: it works. The tone is just more alive—open, clear, and uncompressed. It preserves the nuance of the instrument, rather than smothering it.
When I upgraded to the PaigePro, I expected refinement—but what I got was a real leap forward. It sounds even better than my Original ETI, with the same tonal transparency but an even more secure, low-profile fit and smoother overall experience. The capo truly disappears on the neck—no buzz, no tuning issues, no compromise.
The threading is incredibly smooth—no grit, no binding, just a clean, precise feel that makes fine adjustments effortless. And it fits beautifully over the volute of my Gallagher G70 Custom, which is no small thing. It’s the kind of detail you don’t notice until you’ve used gear that doesn’t get it right.
For someone as picky as I am about tone and fit, the PaigePro delivers in every way. It’s rare for something this functional to feel so thoughtfully built.
Greetings from North Carolina I have played a Elliott McKinney for 20 years now and just recently switched to the paige pro and my guitar has never sustained as long capo’d up or required such minor.tuning when using a capo… Kudos to these folks for caring about our sacred instruments and the tone… Thank you thank you thank you thank you and thank you again big thanks
