Works beautifully on my Taylor
Being an "old school" guitarist (been playing for 58 years), I was surprised & very pleased with the ease of use and great sound I got from this capo. Seriously, back in my day a capo was made of tough, woven fabric-covered elastics, with a metal bar covered in surgical-grade tubing!! This "new-fangled contraption" worked so well on my beautiful Taylor 224ce-k, I just had to leave a delightfully honest review. Great little unit for the price. GET ONE !
Great
Cheap, reliable, easy to use.
Added Value
Been playing for 50 tears and hands are getting a little weak and sore. Bought this capo - I've used them before - because it's the only one I can squeeze open. Works great.
BUT I also play steel guitar on my round neck dobro using a nut extender. This capo slides right underneath the strings, clamps to the fingerboard and the strings sit on the top bar with just enough pressure to be capo-ed. So a steel guitar capo, too? Cool.
Lasts Forever
I've had one of these for years. Works as it should and is indestructible. I also have the Shub and Kyser which are great, but for some reason I just grab this one (perhaps the elegant simplicity) and go.
Well made, perfect fit
I have owned other capos but this is by far the best i have owned and used. It fits my Taylor 214CE well and it looks great
How do you know?
It's very well made. The only capo I can compare it to is a Kyser that I literally picked up somewhere years ago, as in I do live sound and probably found it when cleaning the stage at the end of the night. The rubber surface that meets the strings is about 1/2 inch longer than the Kyser, which would probably be good if you have a 12 string. It also clamps in the opposite way of the Kyser. I prefer the Dunlop because the mechanism is behind the neck, so the fretboard isn't blocked. Either design still gets in the way of your fret hand to some extent, this seems less obtrusive physically and visually.
My only complaint is that once you separate it from the packaging, how do you remember it's an Acoustic capo? I know that many work on both acoustics and electrics, but if the distinction is so important that you make Electric, Acoustic, and Classical capos, perhaps a silkscreen label would help.
Capo
Great Capo, I really like the ease of use.
Capo works
Not being a guitar player and purchasing for my daughter, Marc was fantastic at guiding my purchase. My daughter likes the capo and now my son is asking for more. Great service, good product.
It is a Capo
It does what it's supposed to.
Acoustic Capo
This capo is great. I am glad to have one which was recommended by a Sweetwater Rep. I would like to come back to Sweetwater for more in the future
Great capo for a great price!
I love using this capo because it fits snug when I use it. Only reason why I gave it a 4 star was the original I purchased had a bad spring so I needed a replacement.
Spring way too tight
I thought this looked like the capo I have and like. Oops! My bad. The angle where this one contacts the neck is a little wonky and as mentioned, the spring practically takes two hands. It turns out, my "good" capo (bought a decade or more ago) is a Kyser Quick-Change Capo - also available on Sweetwater.
