Works on Ukulele too!
Don't let the guitar marketing fool you; this fits my tenor ukulele perfectly. The tension is adjustable by how far you push the lever, making it versatile for different neck widths.

The gold standard for capos
I have tried many capos over the years, but the Shubb C1 is simply the best. It stays in tune perfectly, applies even pressure across all strings, and the build quality is exceptional. Worth every penny.

Road ready durability
I've been touring with this capo for six months. It has survived drops, sweat, and constant use without losing its spring tension. Highly recommended for gigging musicians.

Solid choice for beginners
As someone new to guitar, I wanted a capo that would last. This feels very premium compared to cheaper plastic ones. Only giving 4 stars because it is a bit pricey for a starter kit.

Perfect for my classical guitar
Even though this is often marketed for steel strings, it works beautifully on my nylon string classical guitar as well. The rubber pad is gentle on the neck and doesn't leave any marks.

Great capo, slight learning curve
This capo is incredibly durable and sounds great once positioned correctly. It took me a few tries to get the placement just right to avoid buzzing, but now it's my go-to accessory.
Q: Will this capo work on a 12-string guitar?
A: Yes, the Shubb C1 is designed with a wide enough reach and sufficient tension to handle 12-string guitars effectively.
Q: Is this made in China or the USA?
A: The Shubb C1 is proudly manufactured in the United States using high-quality domestic materials.
Q: Can I adjust the tension on this capo?
A: While there is no screw adjustment, the lever action allows you to control tension by varying how far you engage the clamp on the neck.
Q: What is the warranty coverage if the spring breaks?
A: Shubb offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, which includes spring failure under normal use.
Q: Does this leave indentations on the guitar neck?
A: No, the C1 features a soft rubber pad that distributes pressure evenly, preventing damage or indentations on most finished necks when used correctly.
