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.

It's a nice little capo. It's so small and it works. As a brand new ukulele player I have no idea how to use this thing but it works nothing broken nothing scratched awesome little product. Any part where it contacts your ukulele is covered in soft rubber so you don't need to worry about damaging anything. It is also adjustable with thumb screw so tighten it to your desired fit. Unfortunately I managed to clamp it to a cylinder and am unable to remove it. I cannot take pictures of it at this time. send help please.

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.

I did some research on capos and decided to give Planet Waves a try. I previously had one of those bungie cord like capos, which was fine but it is a bit cumbersome. The other capos I looked into were Kyser and Schubb. Kyser is great because of its easy trigger grip. It's disadvantage however is that it has a lot of weighted tension on one side so it can knock your strings out of tune. The Schubb deals with this issue by having an adjustable tension spring that will adjust pressure according to the thickness of the neck. The problem with the Schubb, however, is that it can't really be manipulated with one hand and it can easily fall of the guitar. In comes the Planet Waves. It has a trigger grip so technically you can easily move it around the fretboard. However, because of the adjustable tension, you do need to adjust it when moving to a different neck thickness. It might rule out the one-handed ease but it does take care of Schubb's problem of falling off. In reality, I only found that I need to adjust the tension when switching between guitars or if I move up way up the fretboard. Between the 1st and 5th fret, I don't really need adjust. However, if for some reason I want to capo at the 7th, I do need to adjust the tension because it's too tight. In all, it's not that big a deal and it's nice to have the option to adjust the capo. In all, I'm happy. No capo is perfect. You can do partial capos with this one. Another review complained that it created buzz but all you need to do it adjust the tension. In case you aren't aware, this particular capo model only works on six string steel guitars. I have an electric guitar, a nylon and a Recording King ROS-06 with a chunky neck. Works great on the electric with the skinny neck and the ROS-06 with that chunky neck. Since the capo was built for guitars with a radius fretboard, it does not work on classical guitars (or anything with a flat fretboard). The capo will not reach across the entire fretboard and since the cap is curved, it will not apply pressure on the middle strings. It's a nice capo but it may not be what you're looking for so I recommend looking into the other two big hits in capos.

I have a large zip lock bag full of capos. So, of course, I had to have just one more. Tried it today at a jam and I love it. It’s well made, light weight and easy to lightly hook on the guitar just above the nut so it’s right there when I need it. But, the real kicker is the intonation up and down the neck. I tried it from fret 1 through 7. You tighten just enough to eliminate the buzz and the intonation was perfect each time. At $30 it’s a great value. It is now officially my new go to capo.

Best Capo I have ever tried! It also has a clip to hold your Pic. This works great for wider neck guitars. Highly recomend!

I've had others but this is my favorite capo. It's just really easy to put on and I take off. I also like how you can adjust it so it doesn't squeeze too hard.

Absolutely brilliant idea and implementation! Finally a capo that is economical, usable and totally effective on keeping you in tune now matter what fret! Where have you been all my Guitar, Life Pro Plus Capo?
