ShubbOriginal C-Series Steel String Guitar Capo Nickel
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Shubb's standard steel-string capo in nickel. For acoustic and electric players who want a metal capo that clamps the same way every time.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic players who capo often and want repeatable pressure
- Electric players on standard-radius necks
- Anyone replacing a worn-out plastic spring clamp
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 12-string guitars — get the wider 12-string version
- Banjo, mandolin, or resonator necks
- Players who need to jump frets instantly mid-song
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
Nickel finish
Plated metal, not paint. Ages to a dull shine and won't chip onto the fingerboard.
Detail 03
Shubb Original C-series
The long-running base model. Parts and feel match the rest of the C line if you own more than one.
Detail 04
$24.95
Metal build at spring-clamp money, so replacement cost isn't a reason to baby it.
Detail 05
Fits one neck profile well
Best on standard acoustic and electric radii; unusually flat or thick necks may need more fiddling.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nothing included beyond the capo — no case, pouch, or hardware
- 02Set the tension once for your guitar; overtightening pulls fretted notes sharp
- 03On a 12-string, use the 12-string model instead
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on an electric guitar?
Yes, on standard steel-string electric necks. Check the fit on very flat or very wide fingerboards.
02Will it fit a classical guitar?
It's built for steel strings. Classical necks are wider and flatter, so this is the wrong tool for that guitar.
03Does it scratch the neck?
It's plated metal, so keep the contact side clean. Grit trapped under a capo does more damage than the capo itself.
04Can I use it on a 12-string?
No. Use the 12-string version, which is wider and set up for the extra tension.
