When the Shubb capo was first introduced about 40 years ago, guitarists throughout the world fell in love with it. They’re still in love with it today.
Shubb have given the design a few tweaks through the years, but its basic mechanical principle remains the same: a unique over-center locking mechanism that provides an unrivaled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place, and removes it just as quickly.
The Shubb C5 "for Banjo” - is 1.5″ wide, and also fits most mandolins and bouzoukis, many tenor guitars, and other instruments with narrow fretboards.
