Which capo to get?

Posted: 12/7/2018 4:18:35 PM EDT

My current capo is a POS, so I need a new one for my acoustic guitar. But there are about 5000 different ones out there, so I need some recommendations.

Thanks.

I've always just used a basic $12 Dunlop trigger capo, it's always worked fine for me.

The G7th is excellent. Not cheap. But mine has held up for years and is really easy to put on and off.

Take a look at Shubb Capos.
I've run them for 20+ years and am totally satisfied.
Wiki on the Shubb company.
Any good music store or online outlet will have them.

D'addario Reflex or Dunlop work fine as well use them interchangeably with electric/acoustic with no issues.

I have a couple Keyser capos. They work well.

Thanks guys. I went ahead and ordered the Dunlop. I don't use a capo often, but I like to keep one in the case...just in case.

D'addario. I have three. one was given to me by a factory rep when I was complaining about the cheap plastic ones they also made.
