Best capo I ever used. I already bought a second one. Great product.

The shubb is a classic, solid design that will last a life time. I much prefer this to the more prevalent clamp style as it feels more secure with the adjustable tension, is smaller, and easier to use for people with less hand strength.

軽くて、簡単に使えます。フレットの位置に合わせて微調整するのが必要ですが、同じくらいの位置で使うなら最高です。ステンレス製のこれは他の材質の物より音色も良いです。

I spent a lot of time looking for a capo to use with my acoustic guitar. At the end of the day, it came down to a choice between a Kyser trigger style capo, a G7th, the Shubb or one of the various cheaper capos which might have done fine.I went for the Shubb because I was confident that it would work well (make sure you get the right model for your guitar), it is nice and small and doesn’t get in the way at all, it doesn’t put things out of tune, won’t damage my guitar and it it will last me a lifetime - you can even pick up replacement parts for it.I didn’t buy a cheapy because the savings weren’t worth the risk of wasting money. The Kaiser is nice, but is more obtrusive and gets mixed reviews - perhaps not surprising as you don’t have the same option for adjustment. The G7th was tempting, but I don’t need the ability to change between guitars and unlike the G7th the Shubb is so simple that there is nothing to go wrong.The downsides with the Shubb for me is that I can’t practically park it behind the nut or clamp it to the headstock and it isn’t one handed super-quick change. This will matter for some performers, but not for me.I’m really pleased with my purchase. Easy to use, works perfectly, doesn’t get in the way and has a quality feel.

I used to have one of these for my guitars 20 or 30 years ago. I've started playing bass recently, and needed something to fret the strings at the first fret to help check neck relief for the truss rod adjustment. I looked at some of the alternatives available these days, and went back to the Shubb.It's obviously quite well made, but the key feature for me was the ability to easily change the tension. I have multiple basses with necks of varying thickness, and I don't necessarily need (or want) a lot of pressure on the strings for what I'm doing. The Shubb can be adjusted super quickly and easily to provide the precise pressure I want for the bass I'm working on.The standard size works great for a four string bass. And, if I end up needing a capo for actual playing, I know from experience the Shubb is perfect. Love this solid chunk of goodness!

Easy to place and tighten on the guitar,I like the clean design and how well it braces the strings.I own three, probably going to buy a forth as a spare.Sometimes I perform with a few friends,and the spare comes in handy for those who forgot or didn’t bring one.Only thing I on the fence about is the price, but that’s just me.It’s not a huge offset. It’s still a great product for me it’s the best so far in capos.40+ years guitar you go through a few different styles and this one really works for me.

Um da D'addario que eu comprei estragou com 2 meses, agora esse eu duvido que vá acontecer, você nota que ele é solido e bem compacto e a construção é inteira de metal super bem polido sem pontas nem nada com o acabamento ruim. O sistema de alavanca é muito bom também, mas esse é um capo que você vai precisar usar as duas mãos sempre. Meu único problema com ele é que um dos meus violões tem o braço bem grosso (U shape neck) e eu tenho que ajustar com muita calma e não da pra usar bem depois da quinta casa.

I have always used spring capos, mostly Kaiser, because they are easy to put on with one hand. And you can stick them on the head when not being used. However I play guitar all day every day since I retired from working, and I have become more of a perfectionist. Also, I now play electric guitar most of the time. It started to really bother me when the spring capos pull strings even slightly out of tune. I decided to try a Shubb, after reading some Amazon reviews. I also had some experience with them, when I borrowed someone else's capo.Well, I love this capo, especially when playing my electric guitar. The tension is even on all the strings, it always seems perfect. It is very easy to put on and take off and to move, but you need two hands. No big deal. When not in use, you can't stick it on the guitar, and you need some place to put it. Not too much of a big deal, since I use a capo most of the time. And, well, I could figure out a safe place to put it (women's clothes don't always have pockets).I got this very fast, in a couple of days. I don't remember the price, but it was reasonable. Amazingly, the local Guitar Center store does not carry these capos!! Why??Anyway, if you care about being in tune all the time, a Shubb capo is worth the extra price and two-handed putting on.

For $30 or so .. this is the best engineered and performing capo I've owned . The only capo of 5 I've tried that works on thin fast necked electric guitars .Intuitive to use and easy adjustment with a thumbscrew . The rolling wheel on this Shubb model ensures even pressure across the neck, which is why I chose this model over their other ones, which may not perform as well .My search for a capo is over and the build quality on this is so good - I have no doubt it would last a lifetime - though you would probably have to replace the rubber, which would likely not be difficult .

I use this capo for both my acoustic and electric guitars and it’s brilliant. It’s easy to put on and there is no need for re-tuning. The adjustable tension makes this capo very versatile, and prevents the problem of too much pressure that you get with many other capos. The craftsmanship is excellent. I really like that it is made of stainless steel - it seems like it will last a lifetime, and is backed up by a lifetime warranty. While some other capos are easy to clip on the headstock when not in use, I just store this capo in my pick bag or pocket when not in use. I prefer not to have anything clamped to my guitar anyway as it seems like it could eventually cause some damage to the wood. If you buy this capo early in your guitar journey, you probably won’t feel the need to buy any others.

My favorite capo, ordered a second one today for my set-up tool box. Granted it takes two hands to install this capo and you can't nonchalantly clamp it to the head-stock... BUT, when installed from the top of the neck it does not get in the way of playing. It is very low profile, plus you can line the end of the capo with the bottom edge of the fingerboard allowing you to make a diminished chord in the first fret or play an open E-minor chord and you're not bumping against the capo with your first knuckle. I really like that you can adjust the tension/pressure on the neck, which helps keep the guitar in tune and reduces wear on the strings. Well built, nice finish, Shubb company great to deal with. Great value at $16.00.Bonus: The S1 Stainless Steel model is made in the USA.

I have tried several capos, including some that are more expensive than the Shubb capo. This one is my favorite. It does not get in the way of my left hand when I am playing the instrument, like some other capos do. It is easy to use, and it is easily adjustable to provide the desired amount of pressure on the strings. It is easily positioned so that the guitar is not thrown out of tune when the capo clamps down. The only disadvantage is that you must use two hands to position it. For me, this is no problem, but it is less convenient than the Kayser capo, which works like a spring-loaded clothespin, and which some people seem to quickly reposition using one hand. I found that the Kayser capo got in the way of my left hand, and my hand is not strong enough to easily work it with one hand. In addition, the Kayser capo levers that you squeeze seem awkwardly shaped. I guess they put that little curly cue in the handle to make it look cute, but for me it is simply awkward.Shubb makes different models of capos. Get the one with the little roller wheel on it. It will last you for many years, so don't worry about the price.This capo added a whole new dimension to my playing because for the first time I had a capo that functioned extremely well, extremely reliably, unobtrusively, and easily. I now use a capo much of the time when I am playing acoustic guitar. And I now enjoy acoustic guitar so much that I rarely play electric guitar any more, but I suspect that this capo would also add a new dimension to my electric playing as well.
