Shubb C1B Original Capo for Steel String - Brass
Brass Capo for Steel-string Acoustic and Electric Guitars
A Capo with Rock-solid Intonation
The Shubb C1b Original capo eschews the contoured lever of their Standard and Deluxe models, instead employing the classic Shubb design that’s been all the rage for more than three decades. This capo’s patented over-center locking action ensures smooth operation and unrivaled ease of use. Its soft rubber pad works like a fingertip, while its closing action is engineered like your hand, so the capo doesn’t pull your guitar’s strings off center — no retuning necessary. The Original Shubb capo is made of plain, non-plated brass, giving it a vintage, rustic-like appearance. That said, if you polish it, it shines like gold. Small, stylish, and unobtrusive, the Shubb C1b is tailor-made for steel-string acoustic and electric guitars.
Engineered to work like the human hand
Most capos muck with your intonation — you have to retune your instrument every time you install one. That’s because fingerboards are made for fingers, not capos. But, thanks to Shubb, this is no longer a problem. Shubb capos employ a soft rubber pad that works like your fingertip. Consequently, they don’t forcefully bend your instrument’s strings over its frets. Likewise, the capo’s closing action is similar to that of your hand, so it doesn’t pull your strings off center. This eliminates the need to retune your instrument after installing the capo. What’s more, Shubb capos are a breeze to use — one flip of a lever locks it securely in place and removes it just as easily. Fast, easy installation and rock-solid intonation — what more could you ask for? These capos have remained popular for nearly 40 years — many guitarists here at Sweetwater swear by them. Try one, and you’ll understand why.
