We call it a 12-string capo, since many 12-string guitars have wider than average fretboards. If your steel string guitar has a wide fretboard, chances are that the capos on this page are the right size and shape. The C3, C3b, C3k and C3a are the same except for the finish. The S3 (deluxe) is different: it is made of stainless steel, not brass, and features a roller design. It also has additional benefits due to its geometry (learn more...).
Can I use the model 3 for both my 12-string and my 6-string?
Yes. It'll be wider than it needs to be on your 6-string, but
it'll work fine.
Almost every steel string guitar has a radiused fretboard. The radius usually ranges from 9.5" to 16". While this may sound like a wide range, it is almost impossible to perceive the difference by eye. Our model 1 or model 3 will fit any of these steel string guitar fretboards perfectly.
A few electrics, notably certain older Fenders and copies of them, have a more extreme radius. This radius is about 7.5", and the difference is notable. For these, we have the model 4.
Sometimes people think of their acoustic guitar fretboard as "flat." If they are comparing their Martin to their Telecaster, it may be flatter ...but chances are, it is not flat. It is very unusual to find a steel string guitar with a truly flat fretboard, but in those rare cases -- perhaps custom instruments -- then our model 2 would be the right choice.
