Paige™ Original Capo P-6E - Electric Guitar - 6-String - Finish: Ebony

Product Information

Soft rubber can deaden the tone of the guitar a little bit. However, such a type of rubber can also mute the guitar strings a lot better without having to apply too much force. A soft rubber capo bar is often ideal for a 12-string guitar. It can stop the octave strings of the lower four courses more efficiently than hard rubber.

While every capo in this guide is of a certain standard, some capos will pull on your guitar's strings more than others, and therefore will effect your intonation at different levels. Capos like the Paige Clik range - which are known as cradle capos - are some of the very best if you're particularly worried about keeping your intonation perfect, due to their perfectly even tension across the whole fingerboard. The screw mechanism uses a left-handed double lead thread, which makes the pressure finely and individually adjustable. The whole bar system was designed for enhanced tone innovation, which we call ETI.” They are also adjustable. As a matter of fact, they are the easiest to fine-tune the tension adjustments. The tension mechanism of clutch capos is unique. You can place the device on any fret and it will retain its position, regardless of how furious you play your guitar. Most guitar capos don’t come with an instruction manual, so it can be difficult for new learners to understand how to use their capo and make the most of it. Since a guitar capo works by barring the fretboard, there can be problems if you don’t adjust the tension on your capo to lie evenly across all the strings.

Bryan designed the Pro model himself, and he and Lisa have been involved with prototyping much of this year. They had planned to make the trip from Michigan to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the Bluegrass Island Bluegrass festival last month display the prototype , but both came down with COVID. They have recovered nicely after participating in a jam session where several of the folks present had been exposed. Paige Capos have been made by the Paige family in Michigan for 33 years, providing quality, cost-effective, American-made capos to the fretted stringed instrument world since 1988.

Being aluminum, we found it to be extremely lightweight, which is always nice in a capo, as heavy models can really throw off the balance of the instrument. NS Capo Pro is also a fairly cheap capo for 12 string guitar, which is nice if you are on a budget. The build quality reflects the price though – if you will be using your capo frequently, then this one may not hold up in the long term. Pros:

What Makes Our Sales Engineers Great?

Capos are devices used by guitarists to effectively shorten the length of their strings. When in use, they take the guitar’s nut out of the equation and turn the fret below where they are placed into a new temporary nut (although the nut still works to keep the alignment of the strings correct). It would be a mistake to think that the capo bar is also made of an elastic strap. This capo sure has a super-strong elastic material. However, it also has a good-quality stainless steel that forms the skeleton for its silicone rubber material. This helps ensure you retain the ideal tuning of your guitar.
