Mike receives a portion of every sale of his Signature Performance 3 capos.

The Performance 3 is the culmination of years of designing, tweaking, and improving - but most importantly, listening to guitarists and their views on what a guitar capo SHOULD do. Now, coupling our Unique Tension ControlTM system with the groundbreaking ART® string pad mechanism gives a near-perfect capo experience.

Performance 3 ART® string pads are fully replaceable and available to order here.

Design & Features

Adaptive Radius Technology

What is ART®?

Adaptive Radius TechnologyTM

The ART® system within the top bar of the Performance 3 capos mechanically adapts to the true curvature over your strings and fretboard, exerting completely even pressure across all the strings - setting a new standard of in-tune, buzz-free use. It gives you maximum tuning stability with the minimum possible tension in EVERY position, on ANY guitar neck.

Unique Tension Control

Award-winning design

Unique Tension ControlTM

By simply squeezing to attach and squeezing to release, the Performance 3 capo gives you complete and intuitive control over the pressure you place on your strings. Whether it's an acoustic or an electric, you can have confidence that you are in control and will keep your guitar in tune.

Internal Silicone Pads
