DunlopTrigger Flat Guitar Capo Nickel
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Spring-loaded capo for flat-radius fingerboards. Buy it if your neck is flat — classical, or a flatter electric radius — and you change keys mid-song.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classical and flamenco guitars with flat fingerboards
- Fast key changes between songs on stage
- Flatter-radius electric necks where a curved capo buzzes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Curved-radius acoustics — the curved Trigger version fits those better
- Players wanting adjustable tension for exact string pressure
- Wide 12-string or baritone necks that outrun the jaw span
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 spring action
Squeeze and release with one hand while the other keeps playing. No thumbscrew to dial in.
Detail 03
Fixed spring tension
Pressure is whatever the spring gives. You cannot dial it down if strings pull sharp.
Detail 04
Nickel finish
Plated metal body resists sweat and case rash better than raw finishes.
Detail 05
Padded clamp
The pad contacts the neck back, so no bare metal on your finish.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your fingerboard radius first — flat pad on a curved board causes buzz
- 02Capo pressure can pull strings sharp; retune after clamping high on the neck
- 03Clip it to the headstock between songs rather than a fret you're using
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between the flat and curved Trigger?
The pad shape. Flat suits classical and flat-radius fingerboards; curved suits most steel-string acoustics and electrics. Using the wrong one leaves some strings buzzing and others pressed too hard.
02Can I put it on with one hand?
Yes. Squeeze the handle, slide it into place, release. That's the point of the trigger design — you can move it without stopping.
03Will it go sharp?
It can, especially high up the neck or with heavier strings. Place it just behind the fret, not on top of it, and check tuning after.
04Does it fit a bass or 12-string?
It's a guitar capo. Wide or thick necks may exceed the jaw opening, and the pad width isn't sized for them.
