I've used my standard 6-string capo on my 7-string (Schecter Revenger-7) and it worked pretty well for the first few frets (not sure how many exactly, can't remember).

Capos suck.

No, actually, I've got a Kaiser 6-string capo in my acoustic case I use for the occasional overdub,and I haven't tried in ages but I THINK you can get all 7 strings with it. Worst comes to worst, they make a classical-width capo which should work.

Aren't capos supposed to be for lamo's or something?

My grandma was getting on my case for not having a "kaberdacher" (kapo) for my folk guitar when she visited.

I have a 12-String capo that works quite nicely on my seven.

Look for one from a company called Bird of Paradise. Works every time.

...if you must use a capo, just get a twelve string capo. I haven't used a capo for ten years or more, but I'm still working on growing that extra finger for doing more colorful bar chords.
