Shubb C1 Original Shubb Capo. Suitable for most steel strung acoustic or electric guitars. The effective bar length is 2" with a slightly curved profile. Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which all others must be measured. It is the first choice ... often the only choice... of more than a million musicians worldwide. The serious guitarist will settle for no less. Nickel finish. What makes the Shubb capo so special? For one thing, its ingenious design: a patented locking action which provides an unrivalled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place... and removes it just as quickly. And the Shubb capo doesn't create tuning problems. Its soft, resilient rubber is specially designed to work just like a fingertip, so it doesn't bend the strings over the frets. Its closing action is just like your hand, so it doesn't pull the string off center. As a result, no re-tuning is necessary! Precisely machined of brass and carefully hand assembled, a Shubb capo is manufactured without compromise. Simply holding one in your hand conveys a sense of quality. Snapping it solidly onto a guitar neck, and then removing it, all within about one second, will confirm its reputation for excellence.

Shubb C1 Acoustic or Electric Guitar Steel String Capo : This item is at the recommendation of flatpicking guitar instructor Steve Kaufman on Melbay’s ‘You Can Teach Yourself Flatpicking Guitar’ and Melbay’s ‘Complete Flatpicking Guitar’ while I like the idea of the brass finish option. At present, it seems to me that fretting strings while using a capo so that the capo doesn't hinder the execution of the chord shapes at a new vantage point is a skill I shall have to learn.

I've never had a problem with shubb capos for guitar or banjo, hence five stars.
