Paige™ Original Capo P-6E - Electric Guitar - 6-String - Finish: Ebony

Product Information

Ultimately your first consideration when choosing one of the best capos should be to choose one that fits your guitar. Most brands offer a range of options, so if you see a capo you like, there’ll probably be one designed to fit your guitar.

Primarily a guitar capo is used for changing the key of your instrument. For example, if you place a capo on the second fret of your guitar and play the chord shape that would ordinarily be an open E major, you’ll now be playing an F# major instead. This can be really useful when working with different singers, as they may need the pitch of the song changed to match their respective vocal range. One of the most important benefits of this simple technology is the more effective elimination of the annoying fret buzz. You’ll get crisp sounds whenever you play your guitar, no matter where you place the GuitarX on the fingerboard. Moving it is also never an issue. While the spring is made of high-grade steel, GuitarX still managed to make the opening mechanism as effortless as possible. By using a capo, it’s possible to play chords in the exact same way as you would without one, and it will sound correct for the key you’re playing in. With each fret you move the capo up or down, you alter the key by half a step. They are used in practically all genres and have been used by some of the biggest names in music. What Types of Capos Are Available?The yoke design offered even application of tension across the strings. We didn’t experience noticeable fret buzz when playing, nor did we find that tuning issues were unmanageable. One thing to keep in mind with the Kyser KG12B capo is that it doesn’t have tension adjustment. On one hand, this means that you can mount this thing to your guitar without any setup. On the other, you can’t finetune the amount of tension applied to the strings.

The Planet Waves NS Capo is incredibly simple to use. The micrometer tension adjustment allows you to dial in precise tension, and it’s a snap to use one-handed. It’s constructed from strong-and-lightweight machined aluminum and is possibly the lightest capo on this list. Unlike trigger-style capos, it’s incredibly low-profile. It stays out of the way while you’re playing, and it stores behind your nut while not in use.

My friend David Carroll, from Hammertowne, tried one out and said that it’s like not having a capo on.” The P6E works like any other screw capo. It allows you to make very fine adjustments to the tension on your strings. Just slowly make the adjustments and you’d hit the sweet spot. You can always say goodbye to that nasty buzzing sound produced by ill-fitting capos on your guitar. As a beginner, you might wonder whether using a guitar capo to learn how to play guitar is cheating, and you may have even heard some more experience players say this. But a capo or any other device that helps make playing easier never counts as cheating. Bottom Line: This trigger capo is perfect for die-hard Dunlop fans. It is simple, easy to operate, beautiful, and performs a lot better than other trigger capos on the market.
