I haven't used the Third Hand, but I have a Shubb partial capo. It is fun to experiment with, but I found that the flexibility it provides is offset by having to essentially relearn a lot of fingering. For someone who employs a lot of open tunings, it might be worth the effort.

While on the subject of capos, one that I just received as a gift that really lives up to its hype is: http://www.g7th.com

Richard Thompson's comment that it looks like a "bottle-opener on a Porsche" is dead on.

Sounds great, Steve, but if you go to the website it appears they don't ship to the U.S., or I'm missing something.

Musical Distributors Group are their exclusive USA distributors.

A quick Google search turned up this retailer:

The G7 also works great on a 370-12.

The partial capos are indeed very handy for some open tuning stuff...
