Shubb

collapse expand iconDescription

The Shubb Original C-Series Steel String Guitar Capo allows players to quickly and accurately change keys without retuning. Handcrafted from brass with a stylish black chrome finish, this capo features a patented dual lever, spring-loaded thumbscrew system that provides a firm grip and locks securely in place. Its curved, 2" wide design fits most acoustic steel-string and electric guitars while avoiding tuning issues thanks to soft, replaceable pads that cushion strings like fingertips.

Patented Locking Mechanism for Power and Precision

The C-Series capo's patented locking action delivers an unparalleled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. A single flip of the lever swiftly locks the capo in place or removes it with equal speed and precision. This innovative design, along with a tension adjustment thumbscrew, provides players full control over the capo's grip for optimal functionality across guitars.

Padded Design Prevents Tuning Issues

Specially designed to avoid the tuning problems that often accompany capo use, the C-Series capo's soft, resilient pads cushion strings to replicate the feel of fingertips. Its closing action mimics the hand, keeping strings centered without pulling them off pitch. As a result, no retuning is necessary after placing or removing the capo.

Premium Craftsmanship and Materials

Handcrafted from solid brass with a stylish black chrome finish, the C-Series capo is built to last. All contact points feature thick, replaceable pads for longevity, and Shubb's signature construction provides players a roadworthy capo that will endure gig after gig, studio session after studio session.

Sweet All-Purpose Capo

I use the Shubb Original C Series Steel String Capo on both my acoustic and electric guitars. Pretty basic capo that is well-constructed and has held up perfect for years. Not as fancy as others that latch on with spring tension, but you can adjust the tension yourself and be sure it stays on tight. This is not the capo for you if you need to shift around mid-song, otherwise it is all you need.

It was fine.

It holds the strings really nicely. It's difficult to position and clamp/unclamp with one hand. It kinda pops open when you unclamp it, which made me feel like I was going to drop it. It's also hard to throw on quickly because you have to line it up with the strings. Bought a G7th instead.

    I have had a few different styles and brands of capos over the years, from the elastic ones that wrap around the neck to pretty fancy ones. This one is identical to the first "good" capo I got as a teenager. It hasn't changed, and it uber reliable. No springs to weaken over time, replaceable parts if they wear out, and unless you lose it, you should only need to buy one once. #sweepstakes is motivating me to review this, but it is honest...

  • Great capo

    Easy to use . Built well and in my opinion the best brand of capo out there . It does not leave any dead sounding strings or pulls taking your strings out of tune . This is a capo for serious players that really have an ear for clear tone results in their strumming and recording music.
