What makes the Shubb capo so special? For
one thing, its ingenious design: its patented over-center locking action
provides an unrivaled 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.
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!
Precisely machined 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 in about one
second, and then playing without having to re-tune will confirm its
reputation for excellence.
In January of 2013 we upgraded the original nickel plated Shubb
capo, giving it the roller and contoured lever formerly only available
on our Deluxe; however, when you change something, some people will
prefer the original. So for those who still want the "classic," the
original Shubb capo as it has been for more than 30 years, we are
continuing to make the ORIGINAL Shubb capo available with an unplated
brass finish.
The Shubb C2B Original Capo for nylon string guitars is the choice
of millions of musicians world wide. The Shubb C2B has an unplated brass
finish that will darken over time. The brass capo is left unplated for
those who appreciate brass and prefer this look; however, if you like
your brass to shine, it can be polished to shine like gold. The C2B is a
great choice for instruments with gold hardware or for those that fancy
a retro look. The C2B is 2.25" wide and flat making it the right
choice for nylon string guitars that typically have wide, flat
fretboards.
Capos continue to come and go, but the fact remains for the
guitarist who is serious about quality and intonation...nothing but a
Shubb will do.
