D'Addario Guitar Capo – Pro Plus Capo - Ideal for Acoustic, Electric, Classical, & 12-String Guitars - Black

No issues, holds all 12 strings down securely. The low-profile design gives my fingers more clearance.

a review redo it worked for about a week just great but it now only buzzes all the smaller strings on my12 string . now I tried tightening it up more but the smaller strings still sound muffled with low buzz .it's just can't handle a 12 for long but it works on a six just fine .it's advertized to work on both Guitars I was as skeptical at first and it did work but only for a short time .I also have a KYSER Capo for a 12 it works just it's over a year old with no buzz issues at all I do like the minimalistic concept design of this one but it's just didn't hold up for long on my 12 .to bad I really like the smaller size .

The LAST thing this capo needs is another five star review. But you don't understand what it's like to find THE solution to a problem after literally decades of searching. And that's what happened to me. I'm too lazy to count, but I must own 15, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20, capos. Literally a life long search. The task sounds so simple. And the money I spent! As we speak, people are spending twice the cost of this little miracle that will ALMOST do what it does. I don't need to name names. But shame on you, 50$ capos! Well, instead, let me list the requirements. What you want from a capo is this: 1. Ease of use. 2. Applies JUST the correct amount of pressure. Not too much (because that pushes strings out of tune), not too little (buzzing). 3. You want it to be as narrow as possible, and as flat as possible, so it doesn't mess with your fretting hand. And 4. you need it to be sensitive to the different string gauges. We tend to underestimate what our fingers actually do when we play a bar chord. It's quite impressive. The flesh on our index finger adapts to six very different thicknesses of wire. And this capo, miraculously, emulates this sensitivity. The simple thumb screw makes it possible to fine tune the pressure. In conclusion: This is simply the perfect capo. Affordability is a big part of the praise I'm heaping on this product.Now let me, just real quick, speak as a musician. I have a small crappy guitar. It's cheap, nothing special. I used the D'Addario capo on this beater. Suddenly I can play IN TUNE, on the seventh fret. And this little nothing guitar sings. Perfectly in tune, with sustain and clarity. It's like a new instrument. That's the kind of impact a well designed tool can have. Very cool. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I like this capo because of its low profile and flexibility. It works even on classic guitar necks. It does not work on my 12 string guitar necks. However, it is the best capo on the market. Won't ding or dent your neck no matter how hard you try.Here is a tip - if you can't get it the way you like on an outside string, just reverse it and use it upside down (backwards if you prefer). I have never met a neck this does not work on.

This capo was terrible for a 12-String guitar, as advertised. First of all, the neck coverage was marginal. Had to be precise and tedious. I would have been ok with that requiremenent. But, the tensioning know came off when I attempted to back it off. The tension knob came off and I had to find otherwise to get the capo off my guitar. All the tensioner materials were inferior and stripped on their first use. Very frustrated. Good idea. Poor execution.

I bought this to use on my classical guitar after reading the description. I had high hopes of an improved capo experience especially on frets 1-3. It is a nice capo but ultimately doesn't work any better than my Thalia capo. The rolling capo seems to work best for my classical guitars but makes it tough to put them on a hanging stand. It seems that classical guitars are just tough to capo on the 1st-3rd frets anyway. Thankfully, I don't need them much. BTW, they seem to be just fine capped on the 5th and 7th frets. This may be unique to my Cordoba and Take mine guitars, I'm not sure. I do like that you can adjust the tension. That is helpful.One advantage this one has is that, because it is thin, I can put it almost directly on the fret, where it seems to work best, and can still play on the first fret. Overall, it's a very good capo but I'm not sure that it is the revolutionary new improved product I hoped it would be.

It's really just a simple trick -- they used a soft enough, yet hardy, sleeve of Silicone rubber. So what happens is that when you tighten the capo with simple barrel on threads, each string is individually wrapped solidly enough that it deadens above the fret without having to push it down hard, pulling the strings out of tune with each other. I wish they made a partial capo too. I sometimes use three capos on a song. So I'm going to buy another and saw off about 3/8 " to shorten enough to leave either High or Low E open.

I've had all manner of capos over the years: D'Addario NS Pro with the big handle on top and the spring, Thalia capos with the replaceable fret pads (including the softer 12 string on, different radii, etc.), the things iwht the elastic band around them, the ones with the screw on the back, and this tops them all. It works and allow the strings to ring with out over tightening on my Ric and PRS 12 strings (PRS with tradition string placement), my Les Paul, and Fender CS Strat with a skinny neck, a 53 Tele reissue with it's C neck, etc. All work great. String are properly intimated, don't buzz, and you don't have to make it too tight thus puling the string out of tune. And it's more or less "out of the way." I play Hotel California with the Capo at the 7th fret like the original (Glenn capos at 5 these days ...), and the Ric stays in tune, no buzzing, and dealing with that B7 shape is no problem, as it was with even the Talia capo, with had to be tighter to not buzz.Other have said that the screw tightener breaks off or strips: how tight are you making it? It doesn't have to be very tight at all! Tighten just enough so you get no string buzz; make sure that it's on far enough to reach all the strings. easy peasy.
