ShubbResophonic Guitar Capo
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A capo made for resonator guitars, whose high string height and neck shape defeat standard capos. For players with a resophonic already in the case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Resonator players who want to capo without raising action further
- Anyone whose standard capo won't clamp their resophonic neck
- Players moving keys on a resonator in a live set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard acoustic or electric guitars — wrong geometry
- Players who only occasionally borrow a resonator
- Anyone looking for the cheapest capo on the wall
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
$39.95
Costs more than the standard steel-string model; the tradeoff is a capo that actually seats on a resonator.
Detail 03
Shubb build
Same maker as their standard guitar capos, so the handling is familiar if you already use one.
Detail 04
Single-purpose tool
Won't double as your acoustic capo. Budget for a second capo if you play both.
Detail 05
Metal construction
Survives case rattle and gig bags better than plastic spring clamps at similar prices.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your resonator's neck type before ordering — round-neck and square-neck sit very differently
- 02Capo only, nothing else included
- 03High resonator action means retuning after clamping is normal, not a defect
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my regular acoustic?
It's shaped for resonator necks and string height. On a standard acoustic it won't seat correctly — use the steel-string capo instead.
02Why does it cost more than the standard capo?
It's a lower-volume, purpose-built part for resonator necks rather than the general steel-string model.
03Does it fit square-neck resonators?
Check your neck type first. Square-neck and round-neck resonators differ enough that fit is the thing to confirm before buying.
04Will it pull my tuning sharp?
Resonators sit high, so any capo adds pressure. Use the minimum tension that stops buzzing, then check tuning at the capoed fret.
