## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics Zinc Alloy Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Black From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: Inexpensive and functional. - These capos are inexpensive and functional. The design is simple, the surfaces are clean. The mechanism operates smoothly. All the touch surfaces are polished and clean. The back side of the finger grip areas are clean and finished, but not contoured smooth. A small desertcartbasics "bubble logo" is on both sides of the hinge in a recessed cavity. I'm not sure I like the copper color, but I don't dislike it either. You can buy a fancier capo if you like, and I probably would if I were a stage musician. But this is a really great, inexpensive option. The clamping force is firm without being too strong, and the rubber jaws hold the strings firmly without causing damage to the guitar neck. It stays in place very well while playing, but is pretty easy to move or remove quickly. I would be even better if the grip surfaces were textured, and if the back of the grip surfaces were contoured, but those are minor changes and not even a complaint. Finally, a bit of advice. Don't take chances by leaving a capo on the neck while storing your guitar. Long term pressure will eventually dent the wood if you leave a capo on your guitar too long.
Review: Well made and cheap price - I was in the market for an easy to use clip on capo and this came upon my radar. considering the 20 year old capo i had was 20 bucks, 3 of these for 8 bucks was a steal. I gave one to a friend and have the other as backup but will probably gift as well. Item is well made and very sturdy. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a capo. And handy for more than just playing!
*by E***N on March 15, 2020*

So, it's a capo. It does what a capo does, it does it well - even pressure, quick on, quick off, no fuss, no muss. However, for me this has a secondary use. One of my guitars has a wrap tail bridge, and I *Hate* changing strings on it. I'd replaced the wraptail bridge with one that's intonatable because it needed it badly - but that made changing strings more of a pain, as they'd inevitably slip the notches in the bridge when any tension was lost. A capo *helps* with this tremendously - get the string set and through the tuner, clamp it in with the capo, and it'll stay put while you bring the string to tension. Bonus! It does the job, plus some.
