Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I use this capo on an acoustic or electric guitar?
Not recommended. Acoustic and electric guitars typically have radiused (curved) fretboards, while this capo is flat. Using it on curved fretboards could cause the middle strings to buzz or sound off.
-
Is the spring very hard to operate?
The system is calibrated to offer enough force to firmly step on the strings, but is gentle enough to be comfortably operated with one adult hand.
-
Does silicone rubber leave marks on wood?
No, the silicone used is inert grade and is specifically designed not to react with varnishes or leave residue on the wood of the mast.
