Shubb Capos

[dwarfrat]

My favorite by far. I’ve lost at least 4. I found the neck size on Old 97, the Dread Cutaway requires a brass 12 string capo to get beyond the 3rd fret comfortably.

I use the cage capo on the OM.

What are y’all using?

I’ve been using the D’Addario NS capos designed by Ned Steinberger mostly.  I don’t lose them as much as Shubbs bc they clamp on the headstock and stay in tune decently well.

My favorite Shubb is also a brass 12 string I’ve had since the mid-eighties.  I have a bunch of Shubbs and they’re all good.

Jam guitars – that is, those that I take to local jams where stuff gets swapped and borrowed – get Kysers.

A design I want to like but which I just don’t care for is the Thalia.  The idea is great but they feel clunky.

And the weirdest one is the plastic Bird of Paradise, which works great except that the clamping mechanism wears out over time.
