    I really like capos as an art form as well as a tool. This capo is the opposite of clunky. I use a capo for it's purpose and then back in my pocket it goes. The way that it latches is unique and the metal seems to be of high quality. It's not bulky.

  • Great capo

    Love this capo. Sleek and sexy, and easily adjustable for tension up and down the neck. Not the quickest to use, but it rests above the nut when not needed. And after easily adjusting tension on the fret, it holds the strings in tune better than other capos I've tried. Good design and price for this type of capo. There are more expensive ones, but this suits my needs just fine.

  • Great Capo.

    I like this capo a lot. I have 4 guitars (2 electric and 2 acoustic) and it works great on all of them. I have no problem with buzzing or not being in tune. It's kind of pricey, but well worth it.

    The capo has to be screwed very tightly, in order to prevent buzzing. This made it very difficult to undo it. Some capos have a push-release button. This product would greatly benefit from one of those.

    Is this wide enough for an acoustic 12-string neck that is 1 7/8" at the nut?
