It's easy to put on and holds the strings well

Easy to useDurableCons:priceIt's expensive, but it is easily the best capo on the market that I've seen--unless you need a capo that can isolate specific/individual strings (too advanced for me).

It does not stretch my strings or scratch my fretboard at all

I can see why: the way it's designed it actually can't really pull tension on the low side - the mechanism favors the higher strings

It easily attaches and detaches from the guitar arm and suppresses the strings firmly so the strings play clearly

what i really like is that the padded material is very forgiving and holds the strings without any fret buzz and never damages my guitars.

I do not break strings while playing but I could not get this capo to hold the strings on my acoustic guitar.

The variable pressure basically assures it goes on without bending your strings too hard and forcing them out of tune: a common problem I have with standard spring clamp style capos, especially on higher frets.

One needs to pinch it snugly on the 1st string (non clutch) side to secure it properly

I felt that based on the design it had to be set to provide enough leverage to properly depress the bass strings

My 12 string shubb works on my baritone, and 6 string with no problem at all

This capo gives me clean, rattle free key changes without clamping so tightly that the strings go sharp.

* pulls my down-tuned GS Mini out of tune less than other capos, and should work better once I find the right strings for this tuningCons

Conclusion:If you are just a casual player that doesn't need the functionality of this capo, then you might want to hold your cash and buy a cheap capo and some strings or something

Reliable, adequate string pressure.

What I really like about it is how unobtrusive it is and how solid it presses the strings without bending them.

I was quite impressed with both the ease of using it and how it didn't muddy the strings nor pull them out of tune

It doesn't pull my strings out of tune and it works extremely well on both my American Special Strat and my G-series Takamine

Another bonus, I have a 12 string

This would not properly fret the strings of my Taylor acoustic.

The Kaiser strangled all of them, requiring pretty extensive retuning at both points - that is, putting it on (pulled strings sharp) and taking it off (left 'em flat, obviously)

What I had not considered, until my friend mentioned it, is that while my new strings provide the tonal warmth I was looking for, they are also easier to "bend out of tune"

n’t go sharp
