D’Addario Guitar Capo – Pro Plus Capo - Ideal for Acoustic, Electric, Classical, & 12-String Guitars - Black

This is my new favorite capo. I have played a lot of years. I regularly use capo's from several other makers I like a lot. All of them have some issue that makes them useful on only some of my guitars. This is the first one I have used that has worked on ALL my 6, 9 and 12 string acoustic guitars while keeping tuning stable, particularly on the 12 string. That is due to the multi-density string pad. It also is completely adjustable for string pressure and has a large range of neck sizes it will work on. Tone is clear and remains stable when properly adjusted to the guitar and fret position. Infinitely adjustable within its range with the thumb screw adjustment. I have paid a lot more for crappy capos I didn't use. This is a great value for the price.

The LAST thing this capo needs is another five star review. But you don't understand what it's like to find THE solution to a problem after literally decades of searching. And that's what happened to me. I'm too lazy to count, but I must own 15, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20, capos. Literally a life long search. The task sounds so simple. And the money I spent! As we speak, people are spending twice the cost of this little miracle that will ALMOST do what it does. I don't need to name names. But shame on you, 50$ capos! Well, instead, let me list the requirements. What you want from a capo is this: 1. Ease of use. 2. Applies JUST the correct amount of pressure. Not too much (because that pushes strings out of tune), not too little (buzzing). 3. You want it to be as narrow as possible, and as flat as possible, so it doesn't mess with your fretting hand. And 4. you need it to be sensitive to the different string gauges. We tend to underestimate what our fingers actually do when we play a bar chord. It's quite impressive. The flesh on our index finger adapts to six very different thicknesses of wire. And this capo, miraculously, emulates this sensitivity. The simple thumb screw makes it possible to fine tune the pressure. In conclusion: This is simply the perfect capo. Affordability is a big part of the praise I'm heaping on this product. Now let me, just real quick, speak as a musician. I have a small crappy guitar. It's cheap, nothing special. I used the D'Addario capo on this beater. Suddenly I can play IN TUNE, on the seventh fret. And this little nothing guitar sings. Perfectly in tune, with sustain and clarity. It's like a new instrument. That's the kind of impact a well designed tool can have. Very cool. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I wanted so much for all the hype about this capo to be true. 30 bucks is a little much to spend on something that might not work. To my relief and surprise this little aluminum capo works very well on any fret without buzz or need for retuning. I play a slope shoulder acoustic with an Adirondack top that sounds amazing with this capo. I don’t have much experience with other capos, except my Kyser spring clamp style that pulls the low E string sharp.its going in a drawer,or to goodwill. Daddario makes good stuff. The XS strings and this pro plus capo are both worth the money. A word of caution,this capo is small and light and would be easy to lose so keep it in a special place.not your shirt pocket. Despite its lightness and small size it seems well made and should last a long time.

Expensive equipment should be good. This is one of the more pricey capos but i still say it's a great value for the money; you do get what you pay for. The good: Super well-built; adjusting mechanism feels solid; i'm sure this capo will outlast it's owner lol. Works VERY well for steel string acoustic, incl 12 string (which i think it's marketed toward). The tradeoff: With a spring/tension assist capo, you can keep it clipped to your headstock and just put it on and take it off as needed. While an adjustable capo is always better for a variety of guitars (we all have diff string gauges and tunings), it's kindof inconvenient that you basically have to adjust it every time you take it on/off. My takeaway is this... if you're someone who leaves capo on for many songs in a row, and at the same fret, and you want a really good capo -- this is perfect for you. But if you're someone who moves it around alot or it goes on/off the headstock often during your set, then you probably want a spring-assist capo.

It’s a nice capo. I’ve only used it a handful of times so far. Hard to say how long it will hold up, but so far so good.

I play a Sobell 5 Course Cittern. That means I’m capoing 10 strings altogether, the lower courses being .058 and it’s been a struggle finding a capo that will handle the tension. The only capo that I’ve had that did OK but still left the third course buzzing was the D’Addario NS Tri-Action. I had to have the tension set high and did have some tuning touchup. This Pro Plus just changed my musical life. Light weight and low profile, a simple thumb screw, that’s all. I tried it on every position I use and found it stops the strings cleanly, does not de-tune it and there are no buzzes, anywhere! The claims made by D’Addario for this item are 100% legit. I’m going to get one more, just in case I mis-place this one. I’m never gigging without this in the case. Ned Steinberger had his design genius involved with this capo and I’m most grateful. Thanks Ned! If you’re looking for a capo that does the job and does so with perfection, look no further.

I bought several capos to compare them and was really wondering as a lifetime mechanic and MACHINIST why this one is triple the price and the answer is no reason at all!! The 12 buck version is almost identical. Big loss of credibility for this company going forward.

I've had all manner of capos over the years: D'Addario NS Pro with the big handle on top and the spring, Thalia capos with the replaceable fret pads (including the softer 12 string on, different radii, etc.), the things iwht the elastic band around them, the ones with the screw on the back, and this tops them all. It works and allow the strings to ring with out over tightening on my Ric and PRS 12 strings (PRS with tradition string placement), my Les Paul, and Fender CS Strat with a skinny neck, a 53 Tele reissue with it's C neck, etc. All work great. String are properly intimated, don't buzz, and you don't have to make it too tight thus puling the string out of tune. And it's more or less "out of the way." I play Hotel California with the Capo at the 7th fret like the original (Glenn capos at 5 these days ...), and the Ric stays in tune, no buzzing, and dealing with that B7 shape is no problem, as it was with even the Talia capo, with had to be tighter to not buzz. Other have said that the screw tightener breaks off or strips: how tight are you making it? It doesn't have to be very tight at all! Tighten just enough so you get no string buzz; make sure that it's on far enough to reach all the strings. easy peasy.

Excellent produit

カポを弦にあててツマミを回すだけで12stをしっかりおさえてくれる。 ツマミがやや小さ目で回しづらく感じる人もいるかと思うが、バネ式やゴムで止めるカポタストに比べると使いやすいと思う。

Tanto para guitarra acústica de cuerdas de metal como para guitarras de 12 cuerdas, excelente, conserva muy bien la afinación y las cuerdas sueltas suenan bastante bien

i like it.

I normally don't write reviews on Amazon, but this thing blew me away. Over the years, I got sick of annoying capos that always forced me to retune. I bought this one based on a few reviews and youtube tests. Still, I had no expectations. It ended up being so good that i bought a second one 4 days after i got the first.
