    Beware of this new model
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2018*

Let me say this, I am a huge fan of Shubb capos having used them for many, many years playing professionally. The new model that I received recently via Amazon was a disappointment.  Even though it seems to match the previous model exactly the adjusting screw does not allow the "jaws" to open as wide as the previous model.  I cannot get it to open wide enough to work on some of my instruments.  I am planning on writing directly to Shubb about this and will probably send it back to them for replacement.  I've met them at NAMM a few times.  They're nice folks and the product really is the best in my opinion.  I like to be able to adjust the tension on the capo from one instrument to the next as well as changing it as you change it's position on the neck.  As well, my favorite feature is to put it on so the open "jaws" are facing up thereby allowing me to snap my thumb down on the capo on a downbeat causing it to fall to the floor. I play almost exclusively in DADGAD tuning and by being able to do the "drop capo" thing I can change keys quickly - something very important when accompanying traditional Irish music.

    Does not fit a Taylor 855 12 string neck.  5 stars quality, 1 star fit = 3 stars.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019*

No issues with Shubb capos, I have several for my six string  and mandolin. This NEW DESIGN however does not fit a Taylor 12 string guitar, which are known for their thin and easy playing necks.  Not sure what this would fit.In the most open position, it is tight on frets 1-3.  I would not use it beyond the 3rd fret as it might damage the neck by clamping too tightly .  The rubber piece than snugs against the back of the neck does not center properly either.I will reorder an S3, which is hopefully like my S1s for my six strings.  I emailed Shubb and they said to try an S3 or S3v for thick necks.  3 is the 12 string designation.  I read about the S3v and it said it was for vintage necks, in my thoughts, meaning old school very thick necks, so hopefully I ill not need this one.Hopefully the S3 will fit my 12 string just like the S1 fits my six strings.

    Capo di Tutti Capi
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2015*

Used it for rehearsals leading to public performance.  Worked well, but as with any style of capo care must be exercised to place the barre close to the fret and seat it properly so that all the strings ring through, especially on a 12-string guitar.  The best feature of the Shubb is the adjustable roller mechanism that is crucial to dial in just the right tension to hold down the strings.  Note that the tension varies depending upon which fret it is being placed, just as it is more difficult pressing strings toward the nut that around fret five.  The roller mechanism allows for more precise tension up and down the fingerboard than a capo that is only spring-loaded.  The trade off is convenience.  Since I only needed to capo at fret three, pre-adjusted (experment) I only needed to snap (it does "snap" into place as the lever is depressed, unlike a spring-only device) the capo on and off for one song only.  If you capo at different frets, then this might not be the ideal device for you for live performances.  A Kyser or similar spring-only capo would be better when you are under pressure to capo quickly.  But in the studio or if you set it and forget it, the Shubb is the way to go.  I have a couple of others that I obtained years ago that were similar in design and even the hard rubber contact points work well today.  The only niggle is that the handle is a bit short and does not provide quite enough length for proper leverage.  But then there is a trade off between weight, bulk, and a longer handle getting in the way.  So this is a minor issue.  If this had been available in stainless steel, then I would have paid a few dollars more for the additional tensile strength.  Indeed, one of my worries is that the capo appears to be made of cheap Chinese metal that would snap under pressure.  So go with the stainless steel if it is available.  I ordered another Shupp but for six string acoustic, in stainless steel.  I rarely do capo, but when I do I want the Shubb in my gig bag along with a Kyser for back up.  Well done, Shubb.  I could play my Martin 12-string with confidence without having to worry about capo too much.
