D'Addario Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitar - Pro Capo - Adjustable Tension - Guitar Accessories - Works for 6 String and 12 String Guitars - Black

I've had many Capos and this one is the best for me. I bought this over 6 months ago and have used it when I leave my drum role and fill in for acoustic guitar. I have a dreadnought and the Capo slides on and off effortlessly and provides a solid fret hold across all strings. There is no buzzing or rattling with clear notes from individual strings. I would highly recommend this Capo as one less thing to worry about during a set.

Got this Capo Nov 2024 . It works great and it’s light and it has a small footprint on your guitar so if you have caveman mitts you don’t feel like your fingers are being strangled when you play close to this capo . Today it is March 30,2025 and the screw knob that you use to clamp it on the neck broke off and it’s stuck on my guitar . I’m pissed but only because it’s a small aggravation and I gotta figure out how to get the dang thing off with out scratching my guitar so. I’m one of those guys that polishes his guitars and none look beat up or “ relic “ . I see tha they sell the same capo but it’s the pro model and I’m gonna spend a few more bucks and get that . If I don’t like it I’m gonna buy this again because I think it’s better than all the others other than it’s made kind of cheap. I have expensive capos that are pretty like the Thalia but that capo is like parking a 1970 Cadillac Sedan Deville on the neck of your guitar .

I'm giving this one 5 stars, with the caveat that you MUST GET THE SILVER ALUMINUM one, otherwise the black thermoplastic ones do break. The thermoplastic ones broke on me within 2-3 months of use, 3 different ones, until I got the silver one which has not had that problem. Every music store I go to locally has the black thermoplastic ones, and they look in disbelief at me when I say they break. But they did --if I leave it on the guitar on a fret for 5 or 10 minutes and go into the kitchen to make tea, the thing literally snaps and breaks into 2 or 3 pieces and goes airborne at high speed in 2 pieces, and could poke someone's eye out in a public performance, freaky. There's something about the rainy days higher humidity cool damp air pressure and/or temperature fluctuation that does it.I live in northern california, so I don't know if a dry climate like the southwest would not have that problem.The SILVER ALUMINUM ONE by contrast, hasn't broken in now nearly a year of use, and shows no hints of doing that. It feels different in the hand from the thermoplastic-- no hint of plastic, but it is very light and not heavy like the G7 ones are. I made sure to order the silver aluminum one through Amazon, since the description on the black ones say some are aluminum and some thermoplastic, and I only want to make sure I get the aluminum one.The silver aluminum Planet Waves capo really is the best capo I've ever had, super easy to use, very easy to put on and switch from one fret to another while you're going from playing one song to another (you don't have move your body or the guitar like you do with all other capos to put it on or move it, which is a spectacular design), it keeps the strings in tune better than most other capos, and it's out of the way of your hands, doesn't interfere when you play any chord. The screw adjustment is in the perfect place for the least strain and doesn't hurt the fingers when turning it. It's the least obtrusive and best capo ever. I'll also add that I have an old carpal injury so I want the least strain, and small hands, so I want the least awkward and most light capo, and this does that. I absolutely love it, and I'm glad that the aluminum ones are durable.

so far the best capo I have owned. sounds good and easy to ue and does not overly pressure the strings. Let's see how Long it lasts. If it holds up... buy it !

The G?? capo is good, but overpriced in our opinion and can still effect the tuning more than this capo. Out of the clip/squeeze on capos…the poplar ones most folks use, I really haven't found something that doesn't effect the tuning big time. The shubb (even just the basic shubb) capo is also just as good as this capo. However, I like this regular planet waves NS Capo best because we can tighten it down and it will stay on our headstocks, unlike shubbs which are hard to keep up with 'cause you have to lay them down or pocket them. The glider capo will hold tune as well as this capo and the shubbs, but it really takes two hands and some umph to get the glider on correctly. So I highly recommend shubb capos as the 2nd best on the market we've tried… although I recommend this Planet Waves one the most, since the Planet Waves NS lite just doesn't get tight enough and you can get some minor buzz with it. We've spent lots of money on capos and know the difference as a National touring acoustic duo, so I'm trying to recommend the best for you. Especially when recording and trying tune accurately/chromatically so it will be in perfect pitch (if you're playing a G on capo 2, with your bassist hitting an A since they key is A). Some of the convenient popular capos really effect the tuning, especially on the low E string and it doesn't matter how hard you try, it still will bend your low E string. All capos effect the tuning a hair once they're clamped on, however the shubb, glider and this NS Pro planet waves capo effect the chromatic notes the least by far! As of 2011 we had completed 7 U.S. tours, and now we're back on the road again in 2014 so we have tried some stuff, and the Planet Waves NS Pro (not the lite) is our #1 Capo. Hope this helps! GOD bless y'all. Jesus is God and loves you all very, very much… more than you know. Ask Him to show you if He's real, and He will if He has not already. Peace & Love, Troubaduo (The U.S. group)

I have been in music for years, during those years I have had many capos but no one is worthy to be compared to this one "daddario" so portable, so precise, acurate and works with different acustic, electro acustic and electric guitars. I highly recommend this product.
