Anyone else find that you're between slots on this capo - too tight and it pulls the guitar sharp and too loose and strings are 'muted', not capo'd?

Yes. This is why they came out with the pro-model, which has a buckle to make the length of the strap adjustable too. The width of the neck and fingerboard will likely change more or less as you go up and down the neck anyway. Marshall makes a similar style capo with a velcro strap, which works well, but it remains to be seen how long the velcro will last.

I have found that it stretches with use... which does make it too tight or too loose. I'm going to try and put it in the last notch - while off the guitar - and see if that stretches it enough to make it work better.They might consider a different material for this capo.

is regular, it fulfills its function in relation to the cost, but can be better, it is difficult to adapt between slits without breaking

VERY simple fix. Cut a small strip of felt, and glue it to the strap. That adjusted the tension perfectly on my Martin D-35. I've owned 2 of these now. The first one lasted for 10 years. I played professionally during that period, so LOT'S of usage. I know several players that use them and won't switch. I love them for their quality, and compact size, so when not in use, I can just put it in my shirt pocket instead of forgetting where the heck I left it.

Yes. It messed up the color of the strings. As far as muting the strings, it depends on how tight u have it. If it muted the strings, u have the capo on too tight.

I personally changed my strings to lighter ones and soon as I got my guitar, and the strings that come on it are pretty bad anyways. But I don't find it all too difficult to play barre chords, my problem is mainly that this is a big guitar and I have small hands. Love it though :)

I actually didn't. I suppose I should have tried a better pickup, more shielding in the guitar cavity and better cables. Also, moving further away from the computer may help... or from the amp, for that matter. I don't use the Plug anymore.

I have 2 of these pick-ups on my 2 Blueridge guitars. on the first one I stuck the bag with the battery to the neck block which means you have to loosen the strings to get your hand in the soundhole. On the second one I did not stick the bag to anything, it is just loose inside the guitar & is very easy to get to without loosening the string. all you have to do is fish the wires out to get to the bag & it's very simple. It's out of sight & so are the wires. Hope this helps.

What sort of guitar are you installing it on? Is it replacing an existing tremolo bridge? The reason I ask is because if you're installing the threaded inserts into a guitar that doesn't have them; it's a very precise location. Something best done with a drill press.

That's normal. Mine buzzes quite a bit, especially with lighter strings. Try a heavier gauge string and I bet the buzz stops.

Hi, the fret work was quite good on my neck as delivered. It did require a fret level, but I do that with all the necks I install anyway.The neck was bowed upward (back bow) so I backed off the truss rod and let it settle for a couple of weeks clamped down to a solid plank of timber. I did this only because I planned to fret level otherwise it could probably have gone on as is and the strings would have pulled the required relief.Cheers

Did you by chance remove the tone and volume knobs on the guitar to remove the clear plastic cover on the pick guard? I knew someone who did that and when he replaced the knobs they were not in the correct postion so when he thought he had it at full volume it was not producing sound, because it was in a postion for no sound .

The folks are nice there but mine came unplayable with the 5th fret down manufactured poorly. Terrible buzz. They asked me to fix it and I attempted to but was unsuccessful. It has turned into something my 2 yo plays with from time to time. I have never had a chance to really play it. If not for that issue it seems like a good functional casual fireside guitar. To be clear the folks who produced it were on the spot about wanting to fix it and did offer to replace it. I chose not to due to my own work schedule.

Dear CTS, I checked out one of the C7's and the action as it comes from Cordoba is 2.8mm on 6th string and 2.5 mm on the first string. There is some buzzing on the 6th string at the 3rd fret if the guitar is overplayed. I normally would raise the action until this buzzing stops, but if you like that very low action, I can leave it there. The frets are level and there is the proper amount of relief in the neck, so to raise the action I would replace the saddle.Let us know if you are interested.Thanks!Daniel, Calido Guitars

I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong. The green tab sticks to the red's rubber piece. The red sometimes thuds out a string if I don't press really hard. I'm ok for the moment as I'm just having fun learning to strum and gain finger coordination. I bought the full system directly from the vendor at a local box store promotion. I bought the complete kit, guitar and all. I am still working with it. I have high hopes for this product as it has been fun so far. I plan to call the vendor at some point to dicuss fitting it to their official chord buddy brand guitar. I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong.

Awwww... That would be a string issue... Probably not a guitar issue. Most people who buy this guitar change out the strings for a better sound. Cheap fix, a coupla bucks.

Good capo does not change tone, or bend strings out of tune. Tip in using it, press strings down before squeezing down on capo.

Not really. You just have to keep re-tuning. This is normal when you have new strings or in our case when you have a toddler fiddling with it constantly

I have that exact guitar. I had to do some serious modification to get my guitar to fit. It involved pulling back the fabric lining and chipping away at the wood underneath. I would have to recommend a different case since the pressure on the neck of a guitar due to a case that is too small, may effect the integrity of the instrument. I have had tuning issues with mine, but I'm not sure of the cause of this.

Just saw this question today. Sorry for my delay in responding. It sounds very good unplugged. In fact, that's the way I play mine all the time. I bought it to take camping because it was of high quality for a low price and with the thinline body style and gig bag, it takes up a lot less space than a regular body acoustic in a hard shell case. I have other much more expensive guitars that I play when performing amplified, so I play this one unamplified nearly 100% of the time. It won't be quite as loud acoustically as a full size body, but sometimes that can be a good thing! :)

I'm having issues with Rocksmith saying the volume is too low even with the volume on the guitar itself turned up all the way. This is occurring on the PC and Xbox 360 versions I have. Haven't quite figured it out, yet. It's been hit or miss. I'm having to tune the guitar outside of rocksmith and needing to pluck the strings extremely hard to get Rocksmith to recognize it's in tune but then when playing songs it registers a lot of misses if I don't pluck or pick extremely loudly.
