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!"

  • Great capo!
Color: Brass Pattern Name: Single Item
The Shubb capo is very nice and works well. I particularly like the ability to adjust the tension at which it closes, which helps you to prevent any sort of tuning problems. Some capos either don't close consistently across all strings for all neck sizes and shapes, or they close too tightly, causing your pitches to go sharp. With the Shubb you can adjust the tension to be exactly what you need to get a clear note and no more, which gives you a natural sound and consistent intonation. For electrics and smaller necks I think I still prefer the G7th capo, for its ease of one-handed adjustability, but I have found that those capos don't fit my acoustics well. This is a great solution in those cases. ... show more

  • A Great Capo
Color: Brass Pattern Name: Single Item
Shubb makes a fantastic capo. It's small, durable, and easy to use. The unique over center design allows for one handed application and removal. Tension is adjustable.

  • Quality Sound
Color: GOLD Pattern Name: Single
This is a very early review considering I have only had it one day but have put a couple hours into the capo. This capo seems like a very high quality made product. Instantly it makes me realize how many imperfections my other capos had in the tone they produced. This makes a solid connection on every string. I will add that Mountain Music Exchange did a fantastic job with a personal touch on the shipping. Shout out to Mountain Music Exchange thanks for your work.🤙🏻 ... show more

  • Different than what I'm used to, but tuning stability is GREAT!
Color: Brass Pattern Name: Single Item
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

  • Best capo so far, 50+ years playing
Color: GOLD Pattern Name: Single
I have tried and owned quite a few capos in over 50 years of playing acoustic guitar. This one works the best and is as easy as any to place and move. Looks great, will only buy Shubb from now on.

  • Still the best capo on the market, at any price. Yes, literally any price.
Color: Brass Pattern Name: Single Item
I've spent over $100 on at least three different individual capos that I don't even use anymore based on recommendations from friends. Price is not an issue, function is. I bought my original C1b in the 80's and I still have it. I just bought 3 more because I keep misplacing it in various guitar cases or whatever. The point is, I've tried them all at any price and the C1b is the one, even over the Shubbs with rollers. The roller takes up too much room and doesn't fit on some fatter necks which is frustrating when I know the C1b will fit them. So the original is still the best, and the roller is irrelevant to the function of the capo. The plastic tip is inherently slippery and the roller is a marketing feature only, IMO. The last thing I will say is, if the "other capo you're looking at" has a spring in it, stay away. I don't care how fancy it is or how much it costs. Springs are the wrong approach to this design problem. You want a capo that YOU adjust the tension on. Period. ... show more
