Highlights
Quality
You dont have to screw it down very much to get a solid tone so it doesnt mess with the intonation
The hamilton caps works lots better than my clamp on with the spring
You tighten it with the thumbscrew so your strings ring clear without too much pressure that will put it out of tune
Seller is absolutely amazing to work with however the capo is quite a bit bulky and the thumbscrew a bit hard to turn
Price
The price was excellent i definitely got my moneys worth
The price is easy on the wallet and it has a cool retro vibe which i really dig
But the price is so good and its solidly made
Competitiveness
It is still a sturdy highquality wellmade device
I am glad i bought two of these hamilton thumbscrew capos
The elliottmckenney designs of a thumbscrew capo sell for about 150
