Questions & Answers
The Shubb "S1" is a smaller version of the "Deluxe" and is designed for steel string guitars with standard width necks, including electric guitars. If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to The "S3" is recommended if you have a wide neck or want to wear it at a point on your neck that is wider than 2". It's worth noting that both of these are made in the United States. The nickel-based alloy Shubb "Standard" plated models are referred to as "C1n" and "C3n" sizes, respectively. " The nickel-plated Models with gold plating, on the other hand, are manufactured in China. I bought a stainless steel Shubb "Deluxe," model "S3," and I'm very happy with it. I responded to this question because I had written Shubb customer service with some similar inquiries and thought I'd share my findings because some of the other responses are misleading.
Yes, I believe that is correct. It only works with nuts with a width of 1 3/4" or less. Use the "12 string" version to accommodate wider nut widths, such as 1 7/8". I have a couple of them, and they're fantastic.
On the PRS, I'm not sure about the neck width. My 74 Strat and acoustics go great together.
Selected User Reviews For Shubb S1 Stainless Steel Guitar Capo for Steel String Guitars
Without a doubt, Shubb is a fantastic Capo - However, the S1 is too small for an acoustic's standard 1 3/4 nut. Especially if you're playing live and don't have time to fiddle with it, or if you're playing in low light. I exchanged it for a larger S3 that works with a 12 string, is bulletproof, and now fits all of my acoustics. I wouldn't use the S1 for anything larger than a 1 11/16th nut.
They aren't the same as Shubb's used to be. I've been a long-time customer of Shubb's. The only thing I don't like about them is how difficult it is to keep them clamped to the headstock and how slow they are to use. There will be no key changes or song changes in the middle of the song. That is to say, the work is good enough that no retuning is necessary. I've tried three other reasonably priced capos that ostensibly work fine and don't require retuning. They're completely mistaken. So far, my new Shubb's have left me disappointed. I've always had the non-rolling nub variety, rather than the newer rolling nud/cam variety. The problem is that the new ones do not open as far as the older ones did. These new ones won't fit on a fat Gibson neck, a Martin with a deep V, or even my beat-up Recording King OM with a standard C neck. It appears to be nothing more than a talleress to a thin C. My normal, not fat, not thin C neck is too tight at the 3rd fret unscrewed all the way and throws my guitar out of tune, same on every guitar I own except thin C necks, with the new capo design. I have one old one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I'm not sure what they were thinking with their current measurements, but they won't fit on 6 of the 7 guitars I own right now, and only one of them has a "fat" neck. Is it true that there are no good, affordable capos left?.
When I bought it, the description stated that it was made in the United States. When it arrived, it stated that it was designed in the United States and manufactured in China. After I complained to Amazon, the label was changed to "made in China. " I try to avoid purchasing Chinese goods because of the country's human rights violations. br>br>It's not as simple to use as a capos' spring-loaded clip. To apply it, you'll need two hands. It's not made of plastic, which is a plus. The tension on your guitar can be adjusted to suit your needs. br>br>I'm not a big fan of caps. They're useful for setting the bow in guitar necks and adjusting the action on guitars. Will this metal capo last? br>br>It's a good bet. Because of the design, the rubber part that contacts the strings will wear the most, while the rubber that presses against the back of the neck may also wear out over time. I paid more for this because of the design. It will, in my opinion, last for decades. I can't vouch for that because it's new. For a capo, the adjustable tension is a plus. It was also purchased for this reason. If this Chinese-made capo turns out to be a good one, only time will tell. I'm still disappointed that I was told a lie about its origins. It's still labeled "Made in USA," as far as I can tell. I wish I had kept the package so I could photograph it and prove it was made in China.
I've always worn spring caps, primarily Kaiser, because they're simple to put on with one hand and can be stored on the head when not in use. However, since I retired from working, I've become more of a perfectionist, and I now mostly play electric guitar, which irritates me when the spring capos pull strings out of tune even slightly. After reading some Amazon reviews, I decided to give a Shubb a try. When I borrowed another person's capo, I had some experience with them. br>br>Well, I really like this capo when I'm playing my electric guitar. The tension on all of the strings is consistent, and it always appears to be perfect; it's simple to put on and take off, as well as move, but it requires two hands. There's no need to be concerned. You can't keep it on the guitar when it's not in use, so you'll need a storage solution. It's not a big deal because I almost always play with a capo, and I could probably find a safe place to store it (women's clothing doesn't always have pockets). br>br>I received this quickly, within a few days. I'm not sure how much it cost, but it was reasonable. Surprisingly, these capos are not available at the local Guitar Center! Why? br>br>In any case, if you care about staying in tune all the time, a Shubb capo is well worth the extra cost and two-year warranty. putting on with one hand.
This capo is extremely versatile and will last a lifetime; I use it on both my acoustic and electric guitars, and it's fantastic. It is simple to put on and does not require re-application. tuning. Because of the adjustable tension, this capo is very versatile and avoids the problem of too much pressure that many other capos have. The quality of the work is outstanding. It's made of stainless steel, which I like a lot. It appears to be built to last a lifetime and comes with a lifetime warranty. When I'm not using it, I keep it in my pick bag or pocket, rather than clipping it to the headstock like some other capos. I prefer not to have anything clamped to my guitar in the first place because it appears to risk causing damage to the wood. You won't need any other capos if you get this one early in your guitar journey.
It was described as an acoustic capo. It didn't fit properly on my Martin guitar (which is the world's most popular acoustic guitar). I tried ordering a different size with a different model number, only to discover that it was the exact same garbage. It's not going to work. For the same item, they switch the numbers. I have an older capo from the same company, but the design has since changed. This is a piece of garbage.
