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 - for more than a million musicians worldwide. The serious guitarist will settle for no less.Its ingenious patented over-center locking action design 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 is BY FAR the best at not creating 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!
