The guitar I bought this for is a Yamaha FG830 acoustic guitar. First off even when the adjusting screw is all the way backed off it will not store BEHIND THE NUT on this standard Dreadnought guitar. It doesn't come straight down on the strings especially when playing up on the higher frets. I can't seem to get all six strings to play without one being muted or deadened usually the D or the G in the middle of the fret board. I recently had the guitar inspected and set-up and the guitar itself is only a year and a half old. When adjusting it down it tends to walk the strings, especially the Low E string near to the edge of the neck. I don't know if I just bought the wrong model but it really is no use to me unless I adjust and readjust and try again. I have to hold the cross bar while I tighten the adjusting screw or it spreads the strings as it tightens leaving larger gaps between some strings, particularly the bass side. The instructions state that the hinge side should be fastened at bass string side but I have had more luck with the hinge side down on the treble side. As it is adjusted down you have to pluck each string to see when it is tight enough for all six strings to have tone. Usually I feel like I am over tightening it by the time all six strings are clamped properly. My luthier says there is nothing wrong with the guitar, neck or fretboard and the capo is the issue. All this thing really is, is a u shaped metal clamp with a cross bar and a polyurethane type of tubing encasing the cross bar. For all the hype it really doesn't work for me or the Yamaha, or another parlor size guitar that I also tried it on with the same results. Having to fiddle with it two or three times to get it down on the strings without any of the problems I have already enumerated is tedious and irritating.
