What Is A Guitar Capo and What Does It Do?

D'Addario

collapse expand iconDescription

The D'Addario NS Artist Capo gives musicians buzz-free, in-tune performance on any fret of their 6-string guitar. This lightweight aluminum capo designed by Ned Steinberger features artist geometry that's easy on your hands and provides quick, seamless operation. With micrometer tension adjustment and direct horizontal pressure, the Artist effectively eliminates lateral string pull (and the need for frequent re-tunings), ensuring even tension across all strings—regardless of your guitar's neck profile. It even has an integrated pick holder.

Patented Trigger Geometry Reduces Force

The NS Artist Capo utilizes a patented trigger geometry that reduces the force required to open and close the capo while applying even tension regardless of neck profile. Combined with the micrometer tension adjustment and direct horizontal pressure, the NS Artist Capo virtually eliminates pulling the strings side to side and the need to retune during use.

Lightweight, Low-Profile Design

Additionally, the trigger design and lightweight aluminum construction adds no obstruction or noticeable weight to the neck of the instrument. The NS Artist Capo includes an NS Mini/Micro Tuner mounting bracket, allowing you to add tuning capabilities to the capo.

    What we love about this Capo it that the majority of it sits on top of the fret board and doesn't interfere with your fretting hand and it even has Pick storage an a place to put a tuner. We have several of them!

  • Good capo

    I play bass and just use it to hold down the strings at the first fret so I can check the neck relief when doing a set up. I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be sturdy enough at first because of it's light weight but it seems sturdy enough and works great for my needs.
