Hi Jakey: the only person I know who's got a Fat Finger is our fellow Forum user Nikininja. Though he might have thrown it away by now - he thinks it's a waste of time.

If you have a trigger style capo, like this one -

- you could try clipping it on the headstock and see if you notice a useful difference. It will achieve the same effect of increasing mass slightly in that position, which is the theory of the thing.

If you do perceive a tonal difference then maybe it's worth buying a Fat Finger. If not, well, then you've saved the price of a few beers.

For what it's worth, I often clip my capo to the headstock for ease of access. I have noticed no change in sound with or without it.

Cheers - C
