DunlopPro Curved Guitar Capo
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Spring-tension guitar capo with a curved pad, made for radiused fretboards. Clamps and moves one-handed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mid-song key changes where you need one hand free
- Electric and steel-string acoustic necks with a curved fingerboard
- Players who want a capo that lives on the headstock between songs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical guitars with flat fingerboards — the curve won't match
- Players wanting to dial in exact pressure per fret
- Twelve-string or wide necks where a standard clamp may not fully cover
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Spring tension
Fixed clamping force. Fast to move, but you can't reduce pressure if it's pulling notes sharp.
Detail 03
Trigger-style clamp
Squeeze and slide with one hand. Practical between verses without stopping.
Detail 04
Clamps behind the fret
Position it just behind the fret wire, not on top of it, or you'll get buzz and pitch drift.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check tuning after clamping — spring capos can pull strings sharp
- 02Won't fit classical or flat-radius necks properly
- 03Rubber pad wears over time and will need replacing eventually
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my electric guitar?
Yes, if the fretboard is radiused, which most electrics are. The curved pad is built for that shape.
02Does a capo damage the neck or finish?
The pad contacts strings and fretboard, not the finish. Leaving it clamped long-term on the neck isn't necessary, but it isn't harmful.
03Why does my guitar go sharp with a capo?
Spring capos apply fixed pressure, which can stretch strings slightly. Retune after clamping, and place it close behind the fret.
04Can I use this on a classical guitar?
Not well. Classical fingerboards are flat, and a curved pad presses hardest in the middle, leaving the outer strings under-fretted.
