I have an Athena and I like everything about it. Except, I like to use the "click" type capos that you can store above the nut. However, I can't do that on the Athena because of the shape of the peghead heel. Does anyone know of a "quick adjust" capo that will store behind the heel on the Athena peghead?

I use an Elliott on mine. Shubb has a new wrap around style capo and they will radius it for you if you contact them directly v

I just went through this. I've used a Paige wrap-around on my R&T (non-radiused) for 18 years. The radiused Nechville is a bit of a problem in that not many capo makers adjust for a radius. I own the Shubb Capo Noir, and it has a perfect radius for my Nechville Zeus. I also tried the new Shubb Fine Tune radiused wrap-around. However, the radius wasn't small enough (i.e., curved enough) to handle the 7" radius of the Nechville. I went back to using the Shubb Black Noir, and just clamp it down on the peg-head -- stores just fine, and the all black color disappears on the peg-head.
Don't be fooled by the Paige radiused, wrap-around that is listed on "banjo teacher dot com". It is a guitar capo, and is much larger than necessary for frets 1-5 on the banjo. I was duped into ordering it, and had to pay shipping both ways when returning it. As it turns out, Paige doesn't make a radiused, wrap-around for the banjo.
Good luck!

Hmmm....apparently, the "back" button reposted my thoughts. Sorry about that.
Is there a way to edit/delete posts in a group discussion?

I was incorrect in my last post. The company refunded my original shipping charges. I had to pay only return shipping. Additionally, I don't want to give the impression that they were trying to get over on me -- they just needed to provide more accurate information about that particular product.
Sorry for the mis-info.
Jim
