ShubbPaua Pearl' Steel String Guitar Capo ~ Iridescent SC1P

I’ve used many, this one is the best

Works better than my Paige and Kyser capos and looks fancy. You won't get it mixed up with your friends' common steel-looking Shubbs at a gig or jam. In hindsight, I should've bought the regular gold color capo because the hardware on my guitar is gold-plated but that's a minor thing.

Thus far, I have only used this on my Ibanez Art Wood acoustic/electric. Setting tension was easy, and only needed to be re-adjusted at the 12th fret and above. Not quite as simple as a "quick change" capo to use on the fly, but the wonderful tuning stability makes up for the few lost seconds of getting it locked in. AND you don't have to fiddle with your tuning, as long as your guitar's intonation is good. I like the solid feel of the brass as well. The loose, no spring design was off-putting when I first opened the package, but once I understood the way the design worked, I was quite pleased at the solid and secure fit. Next, I'll have to try it on my Schechter Hellraiser electric. Will update once I do. If it's as good as it is on my acoustic, I'll probably be purchasing another.

I now have two Shubbs (C1 and C1g) and all I can say is that this is the best capo of them all. No buzzes, brilliant mechanism, and holds down all strings (which didn’t happen evenly with other brand capos). Don’t waste any more money on others, get it and see for yourself.

I've spent over $100 on at least three different individual capos that I don't even use anymore based on recommendations from friends. Price is not an issue, function is. I bought my original C1b in the 80's and I still have it. I just bought 3 more because I keep misplacing it in various guitar cases or whatever. The point is, I've tried them all at any price and the C1b is the one, even over the Shubbs with rollers. The roller takes up too much room and doesn't fit on some fatter necks which is frustrating when I know the C1b will fit them. So the original is still the best, and the roller is irrelevant to the function of the capo. The plastic tip is inherently slippery and the roller is a marketing feature only, IMO. The last thing I will say is, if the "other capo you're looking at" has a spring in it, stay away. I don't care how fancy it is or how much it costs. Springs are the wrong approach to this design problem. You want a capo that YOU adjust the tension on. Period.

I like it, and much more than my previous spring-clamp-type capo, even though it also had an adjustable pressure screw. I wanted a new one due to my spring capo getting in the way of my hand when playing certain open chords, especially a B7, so I wanted one with a low profile. I also just didn't like the way it looked sticking out from the fret board as much as it didThis capo works great, looks great, doesn't get in the way, and is very affordable. I've found with both capos, to get the best tuning with the capo on without actually retuning the guitar (which I don't like doing cause my ears are too picky), I put the capo at a bit of an angle, with the clamp around the middle of the fret on the low/bottom end, and much closer to the fret on the high/top end. Then you can adjust the clamp pressure to dial it in. That has worked nicely for me.

Shubb capos are work horses. They are made from heavy metal with solid rivets. I got my original over 30-years ago, and still use it. I was taken in by the bronze color on this particular model. While still of high grade materials, I found this was a bit loose where the neck armature is riveted to the main structure. Consequently it is not that great for switching to different positions, or between guitars. It requires a lot of adjustment. Also, I tried this on a mini 12 string, and its a no go. Spans the neck but problems with dampening all 12 strings. Aside from these observations I still think its a good capo. It's possible the one I got was the last one through QC before quitting time. That stated I'll probably be bured with my Shubbs. They will last forever.

Shub makes the best capo for my money. I like the low profile and ease of use. Only complaint is the brass finish quickly looses its shine and becomes dull. I suppose it could be polished, but it’s not that big a deal. Just be aware of it.

Well, okay, it's not completely too short for a 1 3/4" nut width but you have to carefully feel with your fingers to make sure the capo's rubber 'finger' covers all the strings, which it just about does . . but only JUST!

Molto bello, ma soprattutto eccellente qualità.Questa versione è dotata di regolazione della pressione sul manico per potersi adattare a qualsiasi chitarra.

I've always loved Shubb capos.. I've had a 3 string partial brass capo for years. I bought this one to go with it.. Lovely capo but the only thing is it seems to be quite straight, maybe for higher radius guitars.. It doesn't fret the high E string all that well on multiple guitars. I will give it a tweak and see if I can improve it. Otherwise I love them.

買ってよかったです。

An exceptionally well engineered and functional capo.
