Eladio chides Gus as someone who provides value to the organization, but periodically needs to be reminded of his place. After Jesse cooks a successful batch, Eladio invites them to a party at his villa attended by multiple capos, who toast their new business venture with a bottle of premium tequila supplied by Gus. Gus agrees to Eladio's demands-the formula for the blue meth, the services of a chemist, and a 50% share of the business-and travels to the cartel's superlab with Mike Ehrmantraut and Jesse Pinkman.
He then forced Gus to work with the cartel under Eladio's terms, and Gus became the cartel's chief distributor in the American Southwest.įollowing the deaths of Juan Bolsa and the Cousins, and Gus's subsequent establishment of the meth superlab, Eladio orders retribution through his henchman Gaff, who hijacks meth deliveries and kills some of Gus's operatives. After the meeting, Eladio had Hector execute Max as retaliation for manipulating him into a meeting, but spared Gus's life due to an unrevealed but powerful connection to Chile. Unimpressed by their pitch, Eladio declined because the cartel preferred to continue distributing cocaine. In the meantime, the Paige Clik ETI family of capos, handmade in Michigan, offers a great alternative in today’s market.He first met Gustavo Fring in 1989, when Gus and his partner Max Arciniega proposed producing methamphetamine for the cartel. BU will report back when we have the chance to try one. We suspect the new Paige Pro, which we hope to review soon, resolves the issues mentioned here, and provides a worthy competitor to the best instrument capos on the planet. But I have thick, blunt fingertips and short nails, so I expect other players will have little difficulty.įor more than 30 years, Paige has given serious bluegrass players a product that is well-designed and made, that’s attractive in an understated almost steampunk aesthetic, and works simply and reliably at an affordable price for many. One issue for me personally was I had a bit of difficulty getting the J-shaped clasp to release from the locking tab. In use, I found that the hard plastic, rubber-backed Paige ETI outserts to be on the brighter end of the sonic spectrum. Instead, Paige brings a kind of classic pickup truck aesthetic that would look right at home on any vintage guitar or banjo. It’s definitely not brightly polished stainless steel or color anodized capo-bling. Visually, the Paige has its own unique appeal. But that issue should smooth out after it wears in. The screw threads on the test unit are slightly rougher compared to the higher-end competition.

Available in a variety of standard widths, the Paige capo ships with a 16” radius bar that should fit most modern and vintage bluegrass guitar fingerboards.įor $90, the Paige Clik ETI capo looks industrial and rugged compared to high-end capos like the Elliott, as well as its own newly launched Paige Pro capo. Located at the junction of the yoke and tightening screw, the Clik button releases the tension on the capo so it can be moved easily without fully unscrewing it and releasing the clasp. In use, I found that the ETI system worked just as promised, delivering a clear tone without over-tightening or going audibly sharp.Īnother valuable innovation is the Clik’s quick-release button. The bar system consists of specialized outserts made of a nut-like material individually molded for each string. Each outsert has a (concave) radius to ensure that the string always positions in the center even after string bending. Underneath the individual pieces lies a rubber cushion that allows for even pressure and adapts to the radius of the fretboard.” An added bonus is the outserts are fully replaceable. In essence the bar acts like a nut requiring little tightening. This greatly reduces the need for retuning when you move the capo. The company’s web copy claims, “the Paige Clik ETI features a patented bar system. Consisting of individual, pre-formed radiused pads that cradle each string individually behind the fret when tightened, these plastic and rubber radiused “outserts” offer several advantages.
The Clik ETI guitar capo Paige sent Bluegrass Unlimited for review is one of their most popular models, upgraded to include a true innovation in capo design the company calls ETI (Enhanced Tone Innovation). Today, you can buy a Paige capo for banjo, mandolin, electric guitar, classical and 12-string guitars, and more. Paige’s affordable, practical design caught on, and soon, his Michigan-based company found international success with its understated but innovative design.
So he used his machining skills to design and make his own. In 1988, a tool and dye maker named Bryan Paige couldn’t find a capo that kept his guitar in tune.
