Wow. I don't know how awesome the capo is, but the video on the site is sick.

Makes more sense, and it's more versatile,
than installing a drop tuner on *all six* of
your tuning machines !

I've checked those out before. Very cool design, and it does allow for some neat "alternate tunings" if you will. Problem is that it's a bit slow to set up, especially for a live show where people are expecting a new tune within a few minutes of the last tune. Be prepared to talk and keep the crowd going while you're setting it up. What are good frontmen for, right?

Oy...I dunno about that one. It looks cool, but I dunno if I'd want to use something that closed off my access to the first 4 frets...and unless there's a manual or a textbook I don't see how it teaches harmonization. That's a rough one for me to buy into.

That one seems a little ridiculous. Like you said Shack, the first four frets are gone. To those that do buy these, hopefully their guitars play in tune after the fourth fret. It seems like a tuning nightmare. I would rather just tune the strings to different pitches.
