Shubb Capo - Still the best after 25 years
By Fred Bourgeois
I bought my first Shubb capo almost 25 years ago, and although the metal arm shows some wear from repeated use it still works perfectly. Because I play a number of different guitars I now keep a Shubb capo in each case (along with other basic guitar supplies). When I added these additional capos I purchased "Shubb Deluxe" models for each guitar.

As for the reviewers who've noted problems with intonation, any guitarist worth his salt knows that you must as carefully place a capo on the strings as you place your finger on the fretboard. The Shubb Deluxe is the best at applying _equal_ pressure to all the strings across the fretboard, creating what is essentially a second nut. Mechanically you are shortening the overall effective string length which also effects the range of usable intonation, and more significantly effects the timbre of the string/instrument. Be sure to _carefully_ place the capo over the strings, making sure that the capo is near-perfectly parallel with and immediately behind the fret bar. The closer the capo is placed to the fret bar the less pressure is required to keep the strings in firm contact and the truer the intonation. This is the same principle you [should] use when fingering a string. "Less [pressure] is more [better intonation]."

I'm still pleased with my original Shubb, but the Deluxe is superior in every respect -- especially intonation -- and this is the only capo I will use on my Traugott guitars.

Fine capo.
By Jaymis
I have this capo as well as the Shubb C-1. Both are fine. I question if the roller design is at all necessary, however both styles work great.

In response to another reviewer, which complained about the adjustment procedure (which takes only a few seconds). Am I alone or is it the "tune" of the guitar that is most important issue when changing capo position? When using a capo further up the neck, why would anyone assume that spring pressure is equal? I've used Both types for years and nothing comes close. Very little weight, small and simple, fits easily in your pocket and adjustable for all types of music, using just the right amount of pressure to where you capo. The more you use it the more automatic it becomes to adjust. It is never in the way, and does not ever become an obstruction when playing (like a roller capo). Then again, there are those that probably never even notice if the additional pressure of a spring type capo is pulling their strings out a bit (which if you aren't tone deaf you'll need to retune). Grant you, there are capos that claim to be more automatic in process, but at a cost of adding additional weight to your axe, thus changing your neck weight, which affects specific guitar tonality. This thing is small, light and works (and no I don't work for Shubb, but they should pay me for this).
