This traditional yoke-style capo is made from hand-polished stainless steel and features the groundbreaking G7th Adaptive Radius Technology. The A.R.T. system adapts to the true radius of your guitar neck, exerting completely even pressure across all the strings - setting a new standard of in-tune, buzz-free use. It gives you the maximum tuning stability with the minimum possible tension.
Inert silicone rubber neck pad and comprehensive side protection avoids metal to wood contact on your guitar neck. Comes with leather pouch, polishing cloth and gift box.
Features
• Standard neck width: fits modern and pre-War style dreadnought and other guitars with 1 11/16" nut width.
• Size and shape: Slim and subtle U-shaped yoke that fits closely to the neck
• Secure latching top bar
• Knurled tension adjustment knob
• Silicon neck pad and silicon side guards to protect your instrument's neck from metal to wood contact
• Stores behind nut, including over most standard Martin Guitar volutes

Answer: This is 1 11/16", as noted in the description.
It will likely be 1/16" to narrow.

If you're looking at this review, you probably already know that yoke-style capos are the favoured capo of bluegrass players, both because they provide better tuning and adjustability than most other capos and because they are so easily stored behind the nut when not in use, so that if you're at a jam or onstage you don't have to fumble around trying to remember where you put your capo.
I've tried most of the widely available yoke-style capos, and the G7th Heritage is by far the best I've tried. (I should note that I have yet to try the Elliott capos, or some of the other high-end boutique-maker capos that are typically available by order.) Yes, the Heritage is pricey, but so are most of the boutique-brand capos. The Heritage aspires to be in the same league as those and as far as I can tell it succeeds wonderfully.
If you balk at spending 200 bucks for a capo, fair enough. I get it. There are very good yoke-style capos available for half that price or even less. (I'm also a fan of the Shubb Fine Tune, which is about $100 in Canada.) But if you want a top-of-the-heap capo that works perfectly and is also beautifully designed, you should try this one.
BTW, let me also put in a plug for buying the Heritage from L&M. I first tried to buy one on Amazon, and they kept sending me Heritage banjo capos, even when I explained the problem. Finally, after a couple of returns, I gave up and turned to L&M, which is what I should have done in the first place. My first Heritage arrived with a minimum of fuss and I've just ordered a second.
