ShubbOriginal C-Series Steel String Guitar Capo Brass
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The standard Shubb steel-string capo in brass. Cam-lever with adjustable tension, for acoustic and electric players who want repeatable clamping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Everyday acoustic steel-string use across most modern fingerboards
- Players whose cheap spring clamp pulls the guitar sharp
- Recording and practice where you capo once and leave it
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Twelve-string necks, which need the wider model
- Nylon-string classical guitars with flat, wide fingerboards
- Fast capo changes between songs sections
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
Adjustable tension screw
The single biggest factor in staying in tune. Use the least pressure that frets cleanly.
Detail 03
Steel-string sizing
Bar length and curve suit standard six-string acoustic and electric necks, not classical or 12-string widths.
Detail 04
Brass build
Denser than aluminum, so it feels heavier in hand and holds shape under repeated clamping.
Detail 05
Rubber-sleeved bar
Soft contact face protects the fretboard finish. It's the wear part and compresses with use.
Detail 06
$24.95
Middle of the capo market. Buys a serviceable mechanism rather than a disposable spring.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Spend a minute setting screw tension the first time; factory setting is rarely right.
- 02Ships as the capo alone. No pouch or spare sleeve.
- 03If your neck has a heavily curved vintage radius, get the 7.25-inch version instead.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this make my guitar go sharp?
Only if you clamp it too hard. Loosen the screw until strings just ring clean, then leave it. That setting carries over between uses.
02Does it work on electric guitars?
Yes. It's sized for steel-string necks generally, which covers most electrics as well as flat-top acoustics.
03How is this different from a spring clamp capo?
A spring applies whatever force it applies. This lets you set the pressure yourself, which is why it tends to stay in tune better.
04Can I use it on a classical guitar?
Not well. Classical necks are wider and flatter than what this bar is shaped for. Look for a nylon-string capo instead.
