A micrometer adjustment mechanism allows you to dial in the exact tension needed for your guitar, strings, and playing position. This greatly reduces the need to retune your guitar during and after guitar capo use. Molded ABS construction offers lightweight ease-of-use, and superior functionality at an affordable price. The original, solid aluminum Pro version is available in black, silver and for both flat and radiused fretboards. Box Contains One Planet Waves NS Capo Lite

Review: Security, confidence and quality from Planet Waves. - As a guitarist and teacher, I have gone through so many capos in the past. From the very expensive to the really cheap. I have always been a massive fan of Planet Waves and have appreciated their constant drive to find solutions for guitarists in all areas of playing. This is very evident here too, I am delighted to say. The capo fits comfortably, securely and evenly across all strings. It instills a confidence that you need when moving it in all positions on the guitar. By turning the screw/knob to a finger tight pressure it will apply just the required force onto the fret and strings with causing stress to the neck. The additional fact that it is very lightweight and robust came as a pleasant surprise to me. i was so impressed with the quality at the price, that I made it my first recommendation to all students, and bought myself spares for every guitar I own. Strongly recommend!!
Review: Planet Waves PW-CP-07 NS Capo Lite - I am a novice guitarist and have never used a capo before. However, I did a lot of research before buying this item. I eliminated other types after studying reviews and I am more than pleased with my choice. It is small, light, simple and very easy to use. I have not experienced any buzzing and the guitar remains in perfect tune. The device is kind to the finish of the guitar and will not damage it even with frequent use. Not only is this capo a well made and excellent product but it is also very inexpensive. I highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anybody used one on a 12sting?**
A: After my last experience with one of these capos, I won't be using them again. Stick to Schubb would be my advice.

**Q: have you got correct dimensions? the ones shown in the description seem to be ridiculously large**
A: I've just been sent this email by Amazon, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm answering. I've seen references on other answers which seem to be for banjos. Anyway, all I can add myself is that this is the best capo I have used for 'standard' electric guitars, (Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, Semis, PRS etc). The way the fine adjustment works and the different levels of grip are just perfect because it doesn't put the strings out of tune. Just as a note of caution, I have however got another guitar with a wide, but ultra-slim neck (Ibanez, Jackson style) and this capo just doesn't work, because the grip doesn't reduce down enough to the slim 'thickness', so I have to resort to the heavy ©Shubb, which are best suited to acoustics. This ®Planet Waves one, although gentle, is more than man enough for heavy strings acoustic guitars as well.

**Q: Will this fit an ordinary acoustic guitar?**
A: Yes and perfect for one as well. As you can adjust the pressure this one does NOT make indents/damage the frets, which is very costly to rectify. Recommended.

**Q: Hi, is the capo lite suitable for an acoustic 6 string guitar? what is the difference in the lite and the capo pro normal size**
A: Hi, I use one of these on both electric and acoustic guitars with no problem. The difference between the Lite and Pro is in the construction material. The Lite being ABS plastic (which would need a hammer to break!), the Pro being Aluminium.

Adjustable, light and sturdy. For the price an excellent capo for acoustic or electric guitar. Works on my ukulele and probably other string instruments too.
