Shubb C1 Electric & Acoustic Guitar Capo, Nickel
A stalwart in the capo industry, the Shubb C1 has remained fundamentally and mechanically the same for over 40-years with only minor tweaks being made to finesse its functionality. In fact, it’s so indispensable that I bet your favourite guitarist still owns and uses one!
The C1 utilises an over-centre locking mechanism which is undeniably sturdy, robust and reliable which provides unparalleled power, control, accuracy and consistency (also makes it idiot-proof). Make both micro and macro tension adjustments with the thumb screw on the back and you can be sure to get the perfect grip and tuning time-after-time.
What’s changed? Well, subtly the new aesthetic is sleek and elegant; no longer boxy and utilitarian, the C1 looks fabulous! However, the obvious one is the exchange of the conical Delrin screw cap for a new roller design. This simple upgrade (taken from the Shubb Deluxe) greatly reduces friction, which allows for a smoother action and significantly less wear. The roller is also mounted differently which benefits from better geometry; simple put, it means the pressure needed to ‘lock/un-lock’ the capo is consistent across many more neck profiles, resulting in superior tuning.
If you haven’t got one already, it’s worth having one in your guitar case, just incase!
