" ... My favorite Capo . ... "
" ... My favorite capo. ... "
" ... Super lightweight, very low profile, and easy to adjust tension. ... "
" ... the adjustable tension is perfect for every guitar I own. ... "
" ... This is compact and does not restrict my hand placement on the neck of my guitar. ... "
" ... THESE ARE MY FAVORITE CAPOS, AS THEY ARE SMALL AND EASY TO PUT ON AND TAKE OFF. ... "
" ... This is my favorite capo ever. ... "
" ... Lying the instrument face up on my lap works better, but I still prefer two hands, and it's quite easy to position the capo right where I like it - not flush against a fret but about 1/4" away - the pressure is still fine and it gives my fretting hand more clearance in 'open' position. ... I tend to use capos for flatpicking and fingerpicking - and I'll wrap my thumb around to grab the low E string as well, so the extra clearance equals comfort. ... A well made piece of gear, does what it has to if a comfortable fashion. ... "

" ... The sturdy aluminum capo protects your guitar with foam padding on the top and sides. ... "
" ... Love this capo. ... "
" ... the adjustable tension is perfect for every guitar I own. ... "
" ... The thread radius on the tension screw is nice and gradual and, combined with the rubber coated neck support half, means essentially no fear of gauging the neck with excessive pressure. ... A well made piece of gear, does what it has to if a comfortable fashion. ... "
" ... And the solution would be to screw it back in to where you actually tighten the capo tension, but allows for the knob to "re-grip" and allow you to loosen the capo. ... Otherwise, its the perfect quick release capo. ... I love having full control over the capo tension, unlike the other spring action capos. ... "
" ... No marring or dents on any necks yet and the rubber compound seems pretty sturdy. ... "
" ... I love this Capo! ... "
" ... When you tighten the screw it smoothly tightens the strings evenly, at least for the tenor ukulele I tested it on. ... The tension is stronger on tenor ukuleles than on soparano/concerts so I can say it will probably work for a guitar. ... "

" ... So far, it works really well - no buzzing and a nice snug fit. ... "
" ... Fits a Uke perfectly, and stays in place ... "
" ... Fits both my Stratocaster and acoustic guitars well. ... "
" ... Perfect fit for a flat classical fretboard! ... "
" ... It will take a couple more seconds to put on than a spring loaded capo, but is very small and elegant and also holds better as you can set the tension yourself. ... "
" ... Fits in a case nicely and does what it is supposed to do and unlike the spring ones does not wear out. ... "
" ... That's what my back pocket is for. ... "
" ... Screws to tighten so can get a super nice tight fit. ... "

" ... very small, but easy to use. ... "
" ... Easy on-off. ... "
" ... Quick easy and light, and it does not get in the way when you are playing. ... "
" ... It's not as easy to use as the trigger style, but it's more functional. ... "
" ... Bottom Line: Like they say on the highway, easy-off, easy-on. ... "
" ... The con is that it is black and it's easy to misplace. ... "
" ... I still use my kysers for doing setup work as they're so quick to get on and off but for playing this is all i ever use anymore. ... "
" ... There's always a compromise between ease of use and intonation. ... "

" ... I like the design and I own a few of these. ... "
" ... If you need a capo for your classical guitar, look no further! ... "
" ... But I happened to have the same capo in a different color so I did a functional swap. ... Well, the best I can say is it matches the honey-aged tint of my mahogany Martin - but I prefer brass or black. ... A well made piece of gear, does what it has to if a comfortable fashion. ... "
" ... Very good quality, classy and minimalist! ... "
" ... This is a gorgeous piece of metal. ... The bronze color is gorgeous and looks perfect with the blonde guitar it's on now. ... These capos are durable, versatile and attractive. ... "
" ... It is an elegant solution to a problem that I didn't know was bothering me. ... This one has a low profile and although available in many different metals, mine was metallic bronze and it is beautiful. ... You can't see it unless you're really looking and when you do, its simply beautiful, elegant and effective. ... "
