What Capo are you guys using?

Kyser.......period.

Although, I've heard very good things about the new Planet Waves version, I just haven't tried it out yet. Kyser capos have worked for me since 1987.

I use a Dunlop trigger capo and have had no problems with it electric or acoustic. I sometimes take acoustic songs and 'rock them up' and, similarly, take rock songs and try them in different styles. I particularly like my 'easy listening lounge' versions of 'Back in Black' and my acoustic blues version of 'Cochise' but my gospel version of 'Too Drunk To F**K' did'nt really work out!

Completely OT, but my part time band do a slow lounge/blues version of 'Police Truck'.

Shubb. There's 3 or 4 somewhere around here. You know how it is? You "lose" a capo, you buy a new one, the old one turns up in a jacket pocket.

SVL, all Shubb parts are available as spares.

Yes, exact same experience for me.

What was it you said about Shubb in the past? Something about how other capos (possibly Kyser) pull it out of tune or something, so you use Shubb instead? I can't quite remember, but this thread made me think of it.

I use a Planet Waves NS Pro mentiond above (I think by D'Addario) for my electric and acoustic guitars, and the basic "spring thing" (I forget the company) for my classical guitar. They both work fine.

I have a Shubb, a Kyser , and a Planet Waves. The Shubb was my last addition and I really like it a lot.
