C1 Nickel Capo for Steel String Guitar

The Shubb C1N is incredibly easy to use. It has a simple, intuitive design that makes it easy to place on the neck of the guitar without any hassle. The adjustable screw mechanism ensures that you can clamp it tightly to your desired fret, which is crucial for maintaining proper intonation. It doesn’t feel overly tight or too loose, making it easy to adjust as needed without worrying about damaging the strings. One of the standout features of this capo is its ability to maintain tuning stability. Unlike some other capos that can cause the strings to go out of tune, the Shubb C1N ensures a secure grip on the neck without altering the tuning. This is incredibly important, especially when I’m playing live or recording, as I need to know that my tuning won’t shift when I switch to different chords. The Shubb C1N is built to last, with a sturdy metal construction that feels robust in your hands. The Nylon (C1N) material offers a nice balance of lightweight portability and durability. I’ve been using this capo consistently for a while now, and it still looks and works as well as the first day I bought it. The quality craftsmanship is apparent, and I trust this capo to withstand the rigors of regular use. Whether I’m playing my acoustic, electric, or classical guitar, this capo works perfectly on all of them. The adjustable pressure system ensures it can fit comfortably on any guitar neck, and it’s easy to move between different instruments. It’s versatile enough for both beginners and experienced guitarists who need a reliable tool for changing keys and experimenting with different sounds. Given the quality, precision, and long-lasting durability of the Shubb C1N, I believe it offers excellent value for money. It’s not the cheapest capo out there, but the precision and reliability make it well worth the investment, especially if you want a capo that will consistently perform without compromising your tuning. Pros: Precision and tuning stability, ensuring consistent performance. Easy to use with a simple, adjustable screw mechanism. Durable metal construction and lightweight design. Comfortable and ergonomic handle for easy handling. Versatile enough for acoustic, electric, and classical guitars. Excellent value for money considering its quality. Cons: The adjustable screw mechanism may require occasional tightening, but this is a minor issue that doesn’t detract from its performance. This capo is ideal for guitarists of all skill levels who need a reliable, high-quality capo. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, the Shubb C1N will help you change keys effortlessly without compromising tuning. It’s perfect for anyone who values precision, durability, and a capo that’s easy to use. In conclusion, the Shubb C1N Standard Guitar Capo offers superior precision, excellent tuning stability, and durability. It’s an essential tool for any guitarist looking for a high-quality, reliable capo. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a capo that won’t let you down during performance or practice.

I bought the C-1 Shubb capo for my Clapton signature Acoustic- the Martin 000-28ec. This guitar has a 1 3/4 inch neck with a modified-V. In other words, a chunky neck: My Dunlop Trigger Fly capo was too tight and even a standard Trigger put too much of a squeeze on the strings. Thankfully, the C-1 is spot on. It works by fitting it loose then dialling in the required tension by twisting the screw. Once done, you can easily clip / unclip without any adjustments unless you’re moving more than a fret up the neck. Even then it only takes seconds to adjust. I was able to fit the C-1 from 1st fret to 7th without any buzzing or other problems whilst playing fingerstyle / steady strumming. Beyond that, the capo was not wide enough to guarantee clarity. Advantages: Fits both standard and wider 6 string necks; ability to fine tune tension thereby avoiding unnecessary pressure on neck or tuning issues; small and unobtrusive. Disadvantages: Not as quick to fit as a trigger; clipping the C-1 behind the nut / on the headstock when not in use may require its own adjustment (it does on the 000-28ec). Bottom line: small and perfectly formed, the C-1 is the best capo I’ve used on my acoustic guitar, and at a reasonable price too.

Great capo. Quick and easy to fit. As a gigging solo musician this is a must for reliability and ease of use.

Great version of an old favourite . It works brilliantly with no turning problems, but the icing on the cake is, it looks absolutely fantastic. Shubb capos are the industry standard anyway, but in gold they are sublime. Plus they don’t cost the Earth.

Well made capo. I like adjustable tension, as you can ensure there's no fret buzz with this. Looks and feels good quality.

Got this capo as my current one wouldn’t press all the strings down on my 12 string guitar, but this one does, more or less. This capo is quite clearly much better quality than my previous capo. This capo allows you to tighten it if you need to, something that my old capo couldn’t do. I like the rubber feel of this capo that goes over your guitar neck, it is soft and stable. Even if you don’t have a 12 string guitar I would recommend this capo as it is superior in every way to those cheaper standard capos.

After having many capos over the years, I would say this is one of the best if not the best I have used. Had it a week now and there is no buzzing on the strings once you get the screw to the right adjustment. Might buy another one

Beautiful addition to my guitar addition. Looks real quality in brass, although it appears almost gold. Small but perfectly formed. Really looks and feels quality. Good value too. RECOMMENDED

El producto es excelente... Muy buen acabado, buenos materiales... Solo ten en cuenta si es para guitarra eléctrica y de brazo Pequeño (modelo C1), éste es el capo adecuado, si es para guitarra Clásica debe ser el modelo C2...

At first I thought it wasn't going to fit but was I wrong! It fits perfectly and looks amazing. It is nice and solid and very easy to figure out. It might take a few more seconds to put on and take off than a more traditional capo but given it's size, it does not get in the way like other styled capos can and it is worth the few extra seconds. Tension is perfect and easy to tighten the capo. I am very satisfied with this capo, it is worth every penny! I would definitely recommed this capo!

Best capo I’ve tried so far. We will see how it holds up, seems to be built well. Easy to clip on the guitar. Nice sound, hits all strings evenly with no buzzing on first attempt. Gonna buy a few more of these. Nice to have a spare as I don’t live near any guitar shops. Would make an excellent gift for any guitar player! My acoustic is a Martin GPCXAE with wider neck. Fits perfect. 10/10 easy.

Capot parfait qui ne frise pas sur une guitare électrique. Notes justes! Genial

Los mejores capodastros que he probado. Se ajustan a la perfeccion. Deben segurarse de comprar para guitarra electrica (curvada) o clasica (recta)
