model 1 capos

for steel string guitar

Our model 1 capos โ€” โ€œfor Steel String Guitarโ€ โ€” fit almost all steel string guitars, acoustic or electric. The model 1 capo is available in these various styles:

 

Unless your steel string has an unusually shaped or oversized neck, any of the model 1 capos listed above is for you. Some exceptions:

โ€ข  If your 6-string, steel string guitarโ€™s neck is wider than most, it might require our model 3.  (12-string) capo.

โ€ข  If your steel string guitarโ€™s neck is thicker than most, it might require our model S3v, specially designed for the thick necks on some vintage guitars.

โ€ข  If  your vintage Fender has the more extreme radius of 7.25โ€ณ, then it should use our model 4.

If you discover that you have gotten the wrong model, weโ€™ll swap with you for the right one. We provide an exchange form for convenience, but it is not required.

FRETBOARD RADIUS

Almost all steel string guitars have a radiused fretboard. There may be an occasional steel string with a flat fretboard, but they are rare; perhaps on custom built instruments.  For these rare instruments, our model 2 (โ€œfor Nylon String guitarโ€) is the right choice.

While the radii on steel string guitar fretboards are not all identical, they are well within the Shubb Capoโ€™s range for a good fit. This is because its proprietary sleeve material is engineered to be ultra resilient; it conforms to the fretboardโ€™s shape, while cushioning and pushing back on the strings โ€ฆ just like your finger does!
