Aircraft-grade Aluminum DADGAD-simulating Capo

Need to play in DADGAD tuning, but don't want to retune between songs? For buzz-free, properly intonated capoed performance, look no further than the D'Addario Planet Waves Ned Steinberger (NS) DADGAD Capo. You'll get clear, resonant notes everywhere on the fretboard — without excessive down-pressure — thanks to the built-in micrometer adjustment mechanism and patented trigger geometry. That means less retuning during and after capo use — something Sweetwater guitarists love! The NS DADGAD Capo also virtually eliminates the interval variations caused by lateral string-pulling. It comes with a mounting bracket for the NS Mini/Micro Tuner, features a soft rubber pad that won't mar fine finishes, and is made from lightweight, strong aluminum — so it's tour tough but light enough to hardly know it's there.

D'Addario Planet Waves NS DADGAD Capo Features:

  • Specifically engineered for accurate DADGAD simulation when used with standard guitar tuning
  • Sleek design made with aircraft-grade aluminum looks great and is lightweight
  • Soft rubber pad won't mar delicate instrument finishes
  • Micrometer adjustment mechanism and patented trigger geometry ensure tuning stability
  • Mounting bracket for NS Mini/Micro Tuner included for your convenience
  • Developed in collaboration with renowned designer Ned Steinberger

Rated 5/5

excellent dadgad capo

My Kyser cut capo had a tendency to pull strings sharp. I suspect the tension in the spring was too strong, but whatever the cause it was time to replace it. Sweetwater had a good deal on the D'Addario dadgad capo so I gave it a try. I'm glad I did because this is definitely an improvement. No buzzing and the strings are no longer being pulled sharp.
Music background: Performing/recording singer-songwriter
Rated 2/5

Not for acoustic guitars with medium gauage strings

I tried it on two different acoustics. The A string buzzed on both, even with the tension adjusted to maximum. Might be ok with light gauge strings or on an electric. Stick with the Kyser or another brand. I did like the way it clamped and handled. The D Addario folks might improve it with a slightly heavier/longer spring.
