Shubb S1 Stainless Steel Guitar Capo for Steel String Guitars

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!

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.

This Shubb capo is great. It is adjustable and holds the strings down perfectly. Can't ask for more. The last capo we had held the strings down too tightly and had no adjustment and it damaged the guitar neck. I have to really thank Amazon too. On the first shipment we received an empty shipping envelope. I wasn't sure whether to contact the shippers FEDX and USPS or to contact Amazon. I contacted Amazon and they sent a reshipment in two days and we got our capo on a Sunday. My wife is the guitar player and she is really happy that Amazon saved the day! Thanks

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.

Shubb capos are the best! I’m very pleased with this purchase and it works really great on my Martin blues axe. Shubbs fit much tighter on the guitar neck, even farther up or down the frets, without tuning or tone issues. It's very easy to chord close to its low profile. Works much better than the large plastic scissor clip caps. Highly recommendthis product.

This is a well designed and manufactured product. I bought this for use on my electrics because it is adjustable and the cheaper capos tend to put too much pressure on the fretboard causing pitch problems. So it works great. But...., I only use a capo sparingly on my electrics so there is no good option for keeping it available during live sets. Clipping onto the headstock is not an option. So it goes into my pocket. I think if I had to do it again, I would have looked for this feature in other products. I still gave it a 4 star because it is a good product but just not for me.

Much easier to attach than K..... capos and keeps guitar in better tune!

My daughter’s guitar teacher recommended this so I got it. Works great

Muy buen capo.

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.

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 .

Das ist mein zweiter kapodaster ein habeIch verschenkt Wal ist dass wirklich gut.

This is a really good Capo and easy to use.
