    Shubb S1 Stainless Steel Guitar Capo for Steel String Guitars

    • The Shubb capos are the best I've ever used.
    • Kyser capos are infamous for bearing down too hard on the frets and creating unnecessary wear and/or unevenly pulling strings, and the Planet Waves capo requires much more tension to establish a uniform pressure point
    • Until they come up with an affordable one that gets *completely* out of my way (all capos seems to bug my fret hand, to an extent, when I'm playing certain standard chords, as I end up right up against it), this is what I'll be using, practice, stage, recording.
    • These capos are easy to set, the curve maintains constant tension across the fret board so intonation shift is uniform
    • Excellent capos.
    • the best capos for nylon guitars
    • It does cost quite a bit more than the cheap spring-based capos, but I'd say its worth it
    • I love Shubb capos
    • I just assumed all capos were like this and only used it when absolutely necessary
    • These capos have a cult following because they work well for guitar and ukuleles
    • Shubb capos, in my opinion, are the best capos money can buy
    • They do not stretch the strings out of tune like most quick capos do.
    • Most capos do well on all the frets except the first fret.
    • Shubb capos are the best capos on the market
    • At first I was going to buy one of the cheap $7 spring capos, but after reading that those can damage the neck of your guitar (and don't last long since the spring loses its strength), I decided on this Shubb capo
    • It does not get in the way of my left hand when I am playing the instrument, like some other capos do.
    • I've bought it over and over and over again (because I lose capos over and over and over again).
    • The curve of this capo fits very well on all 4 guitars (as well as on those of others who've tried it on their acoustics), with consistent, uniform pressure on all six strings without distorting strings as with most capos (no or little re-tuning due to capo use)
    • Very portable, we'll made and least capo to interfere with chord fingering such as A and B7
