Detail 01
Curved pad
Matches a radiused fingerboard so pressure is even across all six strings. A flat pad would press the outer strings harder.

DunlopTrigger Curved Guitar Capo - Black
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Spring-loaded trigger capo with a curved pad, for guitars with a radiused fretboard. One-handed operation for quick key changes mid-song.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast capo moves between songs or within a song
- Steel-string acoustic and electric with a curved fretboard
- Players who want one-handed operation while holding the neck
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical guitars with flat fretboards — the curve won't seat evenly
- Players who want fine tension control to avoid pulling strings sharp
- Wide-neck instruments the spring jaw may not clear
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 trigger action
Squeeze and release with one hand. Fast, but tension is fixed by the spring, not adjustable by you.
Detail 03
Fixed spring tension
Consistent clamp every time, but on some necks it presses harder than needed and pulls strings slightly sharp.
Detail 04
Padded jaws
Protects the neck finish and the fretboard from metal contact during repeated on-and-off use.
Detail 05
Clip-on handle design
Parks on the headstock between uses instead of going in a pocket or case.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Retune after clamping — spring capos can pull strings slightly sharp
- 02Place it just behind the fret, not on top of it, to avoid buzz
- 03Curved model is for radiused boards; classical guitars need the flat version
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Curved or flat capo — which do I need?
Curved for steel-string acoustics and electrics, which have a radiused fretboard. Flat for classical and nylon-string guitars, which have flat fingerboards. Using the wrong one causes uneven pressure and buzz.
02Will it make my guitar go out of tune?
It can pull strings slightly sharp, especially high on the neck or with a heavy hand. Check tuning after clamping and place the capo close behind the fret.
03Can I use this on a bass?
It's sized for guitar necks. Bass necks are wider and thicker, so the jaw may not open far enough or clamp evenly.
04Does it damage the neck finish?
The jaws are padded to sit against the neck without metal contact. Keep the pads clean — trapped grit is what actually marks a finish over time.
