DunlopTrigger Flat Guitar Capo Gold
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A spring-loaded clamp capo for flat-radius fretboards, in gold. One-handed key changes for players who move capo position mid-set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classical or flat-radius necks where a curved capo pad buzzes
- Live players changing keys between songs without stopping
- Anyone who wants a capo on and off in one hand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Curved-radius electric or acoustic necks — get the curved version
- Players wanting fine, adjustable clamping pressure
- Twelve-string or wide-nut necks where clamp reach can be tight
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
Trigger-style spring clamp
Squeeze the handle, slide it on, release. No screw to dial in, so it goes on fast.
Detail 03
Fixed spring tension
Pressure is preset. Simple and quick, but you cannot dial it back if strings pull sharp.
Detail 04
Gold finish
Cosmetic. Pairs with gold hardware; it does not change how the capo grips or sounds.
Detail 05
Padded string contact
Rubber against the strings prevents dents on the fret and mutes less than bare metal would.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your neck is flat-radius; curved necks need the curved-fretboard model
- 02Check tuning after clamping — spring capos can pull strings slightly sharp
- 03Position it just behind the fret, not on top of it, to avoid buzz
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does 'Flat' mean on this capo?
The string pad is straight rather than curved. It is made for flat-radius fretboards, most commonly classical and nylon-string guitars, plus some flat-board electrics.
02Will it fit my dreadnought acoustic?
Most steel-string acoustics have a curved fretboard radius, so the flat pad may not press the middle strings evenly. The curved-fretboard version is the safer choice.
03Can I use it one-handed?
Yes. Squeeze the handle to open, slide to the fret you want, release. That is the point of the trigger design.
04Does the gold finish wear off?
Plated finishes on the handle can wear at contact points over heavy use. It is cosmetic only and does not affect function.
