Detail 01
Screw-adjustable pressure
You set clamping force once for your guitar. Prevents the over-squeezing that pulls chords sharp.

ShubbOriginal C-Series Steel String Guitar Capo Black Chrome Finish
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Steel-string guitar capo with a screw-set lever action. For players who want repeatable, adjustable pressure rather than a spring clamp.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Steel-string acoustic and electric players changing keys mid-set
- Anyone whose spring capo pulls strings sharp
- Players who keep the same guitar and want one dialed-in setting
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Nylon-string classical guitars — neck width and radius differ
- Players wanting instant one-handed on-off between songs
- Anyone needing one capo across widely different neck profiles
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
Lever-action closure
Snaps on and off at the preset tension. Faster than re-tightening, slower than a squeeze clamp.
Detail 03
Steel-string specific
The bar curvature and reach are cut for steel-string necks, not the wider flatter classical fingerboard.
Detail 04
Black chrome finish
Cosmetic. Darker than bare metal, so it disappears against a dark headstock or fingerboard.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Requires an initial screw adjustment — out of the box tension won't be right
- 02Re-check the setting if you move it between different guitars
- 03Place it just behind the fret, not on top of it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my electric guitar?
Yes. It's built for steel-string necks, which covers most electrics and steel-string acoustics. Adjust the screw for your particular neck thickness.
02Can I use it on a classical guitar?
No. Nylon-string necks are wider and flatter. Shubb makes a separate nylon-string version sized for those necks.
03Why does my capo make the guitar go sharp?
Too much clamping pressure bends strings out of tune. The screw adjustment here lets you back off to the minimum force that still stops buzzing.
04How fast can I move it between songs?
The lever releases and re-closes at your preset tension, so repositioning is quick. Changing guitars means resetting the screw first.
