Description

"Model 1, ""For steel string guitar,"", fits almost all acoustic and electric steel string guitars. 2 inches wide, curved for a radiuses fretboard. Precisely machined of brass and carefully hand assembled, a Shubb capo is manufactured without compromise. Simply holding one in your hand conveys a sense of quality. Snapping it solidly onto a guitar neck, and then removing it, all within about one second, will confirm its reputation for excellence. What makes the Shubb capo so special? For one thing, its ingenious design: a patented locking action which provides an unrivalled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place. and removes it just as quickly. And the Shubb capo doesn't create tuning problems. Its soft, resilient rubber is specially designed to work just like a fingertip, so it doesn't bend the strings over the frets. Its closing action is just like your hand, so it doesn't pull the string off center. As a result, no re-tuning is necessary!"

  • Different than what I'm used to, but tuning stability is GREAT!
Style: Modern Color: Brass
Thus far, I have only used this on my Ibanez Art Wood acoustic/electric. Setting tension was easy, and only needed to be re-adjusted at the 12th fret and above. Not quite as simple as a "quick change" capo to use on the fly, but the wonderful tuning stability makes up for the few lost seconds of getting it locked in. AND you don't have to fiddle with your tuning, as long as your guitar's intonation is good. I like the solid feel of the brass as well. The loose, no spring design was off-putting when I first opened the package, but once I understood the way the design worked, I was quite pleased at the solid and secure fit. Next, I'll have to try it on my Schechter Hellraiser electric. Will update once I do. If it's as good as it is on my acoustic, I'll probably be purchasing another. ... show more

  • Nice functional capo
Style: Modern Color: Brass
I like the fact that it quickly adjusts for different neck sizes and you can adjust how tight you want it. Being raw brass is just a bonus 😎

  • Brass finish tarnishes
Style: Modern Color: Brass
Shub makes the best capo for my money. I like the low profile and ease of use. Only complaint is the brass finish quickly looses its shine and becomes dull. I suppose it could be polished, but it’s not that big a deal. Just be aware of it.

  • It's not bad, but...
Style: Modern Color: Brass
After using it for a weeks I bought something else. I play with a capo everywhere on the fretboard, and I found this capo pretty cumbersome in that regard... However, it was a major upgrade from my cheapo basic capo. So while it does do a good job, it's ultimately the design I have a problem with - and the fact that I need to use two hands to switch which fret I'm on. ... show more

  • Awesome capo
Style: Modern Color: Brass
This capo is really hard to beat price wise and value wise. I use it for my 12 string guitar, which is slightly harder to capo all 12 strings well enough so there is no fret buzz or anything, but this capo does it without a problem. Solid purchase that I would make again in a heartbeat.

  • Beautifuly engineered
Style: Modern Color: Brass
Absolutely beautiful. Love how brass looks and how it is aging (patina). Using on a Gibson G-200. Works great. Do not need to have it overly tight. Love it.

  • Stubborn capos work awesome
Style: Guitar Capo Color: GOLD
I've always used the squeeze clamp capos. The Shubb capo works better. It's the only kind I use now.
