ShubbC3B Original Series 12-String Guitar Capo, Brass

Why buy anything else? These are the best capos in my opinion. They work great on both my 6 and 12 string guitars. I also have a shub classical guitar capo. Yes, they are a bit more expensive than other capos but many of those have fixed spring clamping force and don't always give a clear tone. Shub capos have never let me down and always give a nice clean tone.

Tiene muy buen diseño y material, sin embargo dice ahí que es para guitarras de 12 cuerdas y en mi caso no hace suficiente presión en los primeros trastes. Hay que apretar demasiado por lo que no es muy versátil a la hora de cambiar de una canción a otra. Se quita facil pero ponerlo es complicado

Awesome and best gripping... Happy 😊

I have used shubb capos for years so i was interested in getting one for a newly acquired 12 string guild that i bought. The photo shows the difference in capo contact surface length compared to the shubb 6 string capo that i have owned for years. The 12 string version is the longer one on the right. The length difference is about 1/4 inch and does make a difference in making sure all the strings are covered on the 12 string. As a guitarist of over 30 years i am pretty much sold on the slightly more expensive shubbs mainly for this reason, that the construction allows you to adjust the amount of pressure put on the strings by way of a screw. This design means that you can adjust the pressure to hold down the strings on the desired fret without putting so much pressure that it greatly detunes the strings. The one handed capos with a strong spring hold the strings down so tightly that it detunes the strings and also makes tuning them difficult because of how much you have to turn the key to fight against that extra pressure. Tuning a 12 string guitar is difficult enough! Also the one handed competitor capos may be so strong that they put a dent in the neck on the backside. These are excellent capos and i highly recommend them.

Overall it's a great capo but this is the third design I've tried and this one needs too much pressure to clamp the Low E's.The G7 I tried couldn't clamp the high E's without massive pressure and the D'Addario failed completely.I'll try a Paige 12 string next.
