OQAN ACE50 JOHN ACUST/ELEC - Fast Action Curved Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitar
Discover the Oqan ACE50 John , an essential capo meticulously designed for guitarists seeking reliability, speed, and care for their instrument. Unlike generic capos, this model is specifically designed to fit the natural curvature (radius) of the fretboard on acoustic and electric guitars . Its engineering ensures even pressure across all six strings, eliminating unwanted fret buzz and guaranteeing precise tuning on every fret of the neck.
The ACE50's construction stands out for its balance between robustness and lightness. Made from a durable metal alloy, it offers the necessary strength to withstand intensive use on tours and in rehearsals, yet is light enough not to affect the instrument's balance. One of its strongest features is its ergonomic clamp-style grip , which allows the musician to attach, move, or remove it using only one hand. This feature is vital for live performances where every second counts between songs.
Protecting your guitar is a top priority in the design of the ACE50. All contact surfaces, both the one that presses the strings and the one that rests on the back of the neck, are coated with high-density silicone rubber . This material not only cushions pressure to prevent marks or scratches on the wood finish, but also provides a non-slip grip that keeps the capo firmly in place, even during energetic playing sessions. Its black finish gives it a sleek and professional look that perfectly complements any guitar style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this capo suitable for Spanish or classical guitar?
It's not ideal. Classical guitars have a flat fretboard. The ACE50 has a curved fretboard designed for acoustic and electric guitars. For classical guitar, we recommend the "Juan" model (ACC50) from the same brand, which has a flat fretboard.
Can it damage the neck of my guitar if I leave it on?
No, thanks to its high-quality silicone coating, contact with the wood is smooth and safe. However, it's always recommended to remove the capo when not playing to release tension on the strings and spring.
Is the spring difficult to squeeze?
The mechanism is designed to offer firm but accessible resistance, allowing any adult or teenager to operate it comfortably with one hand.
