I just got a D’Addario NS Tri Action capo (with the adjustable spring). Was trying it on my 000-28ec and while taking it off, the spring tension made the capo fly out of my hand sending the capo sideways through the air into the back of the neck making a little dent behind the 3rd fret. I dont care about dents and dings really, no matter how nice the guitar. Its part of owning them. However, I do not like feeling them on the back of the neck. So, I will be trying the drop-fill method once my can of lacquer gets here.

Looks straight forward enough. Anyone try it before?

Here is the guide i am using in case you find yourself in this position

As for the Bluechip pick, I really like it. But I also like dunlop flow picks...sorta similar feel and sound and very cheap.

As for my D-41 that arrived Monday, I am impressed. I have some nice acoustics but never played any acoustic that plays so easily up the neck and sounds quite like this. Very impressive sound and feel
