C1 Steel String Guitar

The Shubb C1N is incredibly easy to use. It has a simple, intuitive design that makes it easy to place on the neck of the guitar without any hassle. The adjustable screw mechanism ensures that you can clamp it tightly to your desired fret, which is crucial for maintaining proper intonation. It doesn’t feel overly tight or too loose, making it easy to adjust as needed without worrying about damaging the strings. One of the standout features of this capo is its ability to maintain tuning stability. Unlike some other capos that can cause the strings to go out of tune, the Shubb C1N ensures a secure grip on the neck without altering the tuning. This is incredibly important, especially when I’m playing live or recording, as I need to know that my tuning won’t shift when I switch to different chords. The Shubb C1N is built to last, with a sturdy metal construction that feels robust in your hands. The Nylon (C1N) material offers a nice balance of lightweight portability and durability. I’ve been using this capo consistently for a while now, and it still looks and works as well as the first day I bought it. The quality craftsmanship is apparent, and I trust this capo to withstand the rigors of regular use. Whether I’m playing my acoustic, electric, or classical guitar, this capo works perfectly on all of them. The adjustable pressure system ensures it can fit comfortably on any guitar neck, and it’s easy to move between different instruments. It’s versatile enough for both beginners and experienced guitarists who need a reliable tool for changing keys and experimenting with different sounds. Given the quality, precision, and long-lasting durability of the Shubb C1N, I believe it offers excellent value for money. It’s not the cheapest capo out there, but the precision and reliability make it well worth the investment, especially if you want a capo that will consistently perform without compromising your tuning. Pros: Precision and tuning stability, ensuring consistent performance. Easy to use with a simple, adjustable screw mechanism. Durable metal construction and lightweight design. Comfortable and ergonomic handle for easy handling. Versatile enough for acoustic, electric, and classical guitars. Excellent value for money considering its quality. Cons: The adjustable screw mechanism may require occasional tightening, but this is a minor issue that doesn’t detract from its performance. This capo is ideal for guitarists of all skill levels who need a reliable, high-quality capo. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, the Shubb C1N will help you change keys effortlessly without compromising tuning. It’s perfect for anyone who values precision, durability, and a capo that’s easy to use. In conclusion, the Shubb C1N Standard Guitar Capo offers superior precision, excellent tuning stability, and durability. It’s an essential tool for any guitarist looking for a high-quality, reliable capo. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a capo that won’t let you down during performance or practice.

I bought the C-1 Shubb capo for my Clapton signature Acoustic- the Martin 000-28ec. This guitar has a 1 3/4 inch neck with a modified-V. In other words, a chunky neck: My Dunlop Trigger Fly capo was too tight and even a standard Trigger put too much of a squeeze on the strings. Thankfully, the C-1 is spot on. It works by fitting it loose then dialling in the required tension by twisting the screw. Once done, you can easily clip / unclip without any adjustments unless you’re moving more than a fret up the neck. Even then it only takes seconds to adjust. I was able to fit the C-1 from 1st fret to 7th without any buzzing or other problems whilst playing fingerstyle / steady strumming. Beyond that, the capo was not wide enough to guarantee clarity. Advantages: Fits both standard and wider 6 string necks; ability to fine tune tension thereby avoiding unnecessary pressure on neck or tuning issues; small and unobtrusive. Disadvantages: Not as quick to fit as a trigger; clipping the C-1 behind the nut / on the headstock when not in use may require its own adjustment (it does on the 000-28ec). Bottom line: small and perfectly formed, the C-1 is the best capo I’ve used on my acoustic guitar, and at a reasonable price too.

I have one for my Classical Guitar but wanted one for my acoustic guitar. I wasn't happy using the spring type as did not centre on the back of the neck and tension was too strong. The Shubb C1 is adjustable with a screw and once tension is adjusted it stays as set. The capo easily fits on, with a flip of the lever, and is quite small compared to other designs. You can also get replacement rubbers if they become worn or damaged. Well made and a quality product.

What can I say - great value and worth every penny… simple to use, works really well on my Martin D28 (and others) I previously fell for the hype on a D’Addario version that was rather awful (pulled strings out of tune) and after needing tightening more and more the wheel has now sheared off after 18 months… This Schubb looks well made and is simple to adjust - time will tell if the rubber/silicone part that presses on the strings deteriorates, but my initial thoughts are just ‘wow’ it’s brilliant…

Well made capo. I like adjustable tension, as you can ensure there's no fret buzz with this. Looks and feels good quality.

Great capo. Quick and easy to fit. As a gigging solo musician this is a must for reliability and ease of use.

Great version of an old favourite . It works brilliantly with no turning problems, but the icing on the cake is, it looks absolutely fantastic. Shubb capos are the industry standard anyway, but in gold they are sublime. Plus they don’t cost the Earth.

Very well made, highly recommend

El producto es excelente... Muy buen acabado, buenos materiales... Solo ten en cuenta si es para guitarra eléctrica y de brazo Pequeño (modelo C1), éste es el capo adecuado, si es para guitarra Clásica debe ser el modelo C2...

Best capo I’ve tried so far. We will see how it holds up, seems to be built well. Easy to clip on the guitar. Nice sound, hits all strings evenly with no buzzing on first attempt. Gonna buy a few more of these. Nice to have a spare as I don’t live near any guitar shops. Would make an excellent gift for any guitar player! My acoustic is a Martin GPCXAE with wider neck. Fits perfect. 10/10 easy.

Capot parfait qui ne frise pas sur une guitare électrique. Notes justes! Genial

La mejor q he usado con diferencia, y la más fácil de usar!

Très content de mon achat. Il est magnifique, de petite taille et de très bonne facture. Très solide avec aucun jeu sur les parties mobiles. Il s'adapte parfaitement sur ma Folk et les protections sont parfaite. Aucun risque d'abimer ma guitare. La qualité est au rendez vous
