What makes the Shubb capo so special For one thing, its ingenious design: Its patented over-center locking action provides an unrivaled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place, and removes it just as quickly.

The Shubb capo is BY FAR the best at not creating tuning problems. Its soft, resilient rubber is specially designed to work just like a fingertip, so it doesn't bend the strings over the frets. Its closing action is just like your hand, so it doesn't pull the string off center. As a result, no re-tuning is necessary!

Precisely machined and carefully hand assembled, a Shubb capo is manufactured without compromise. Simply holding one in your hand conveys a sense of quality. Snapping it solidly onto a guitar neck in about one second, and then playing without having to re-tune will confirm its reputation for excellence.

The Shubb C1 Standard Capo for steel string guitars is the choice of millions of musicians world wide. The C1 capo design has been upgraded to include the roller for smoother action, superior geometry, and reduced wear. We've also added the contoured lever allowing for easier use and rounded ends that are softer to the touch. These design features were formerly available only on our deluxe models. The C1 Standard Capo will fit most acoustic and electric guitars and comes in a polished nickel finish.

Capos continue to come and go, but the fact remains for the guitarist who is serious about quality and intonation...nothing but a Shubb will do.
