Here's another one! Sorry, I can't post a link on my phone.

I edited your title, you had web site name instead of brand name.

I covered this capo on old site.
I ordered in March, recd in May , you read all about it on May 26, 2016

Didn't ya? well Didn't ya?

Just proves how much was missed on old site because of the stream of unconsciousness posting method.

This was a surprise. A capo I ordered months ago, and was already refunded for being late, just
arrived, almost 3 months after ordering.

This is a variation on the standard MeIdeal capo, with a guitar tuner
attached. Current price (Aug 29) is $11.45CAD

I noted that the display is unreadable at an angle when on the fretboard.

SO the tuner would be very difficult to use to confirm tuning when capoed. You would have to bend over guitar to see the display.

You can of course use the tuner On the HEADSTOCK. Viewability is fine when attached to headstock

I'm miffed at you 2

Wow, that's some tuner attached. According to your 3rd picture......you're tuned to a perfect "6" note. My Snark can't do that!

You must also forgive us Rob, it's not that we don't read them, it's the remembering them that's the problem!

Gb, so 3rd string, guitar in Eb-Standard. You might recognize guitar.

I saved the whole capo group from old site, so you wouldn't have to remember

RobertW, I also noticed your NE has a couple strings that only got "one wrap" around the post. I was kind of glad to see I'm not the only one that does that. lol.

I actually prefer a least 2 wraps, with 3 being ideal, but sometimes I just don't pay attention. I actually hate when I get only 1 wrap and thought I was the only one doing that.

I'm sure I replied to this;but it has disappeared;so;again!@
I am just following one of those guitar company videos on restringing. Not sure which but the gist was that as you plug in a string, cut it to length at NEXT tuning peg.

Of course I knot 1st and 2ed strings.
