Lengde: 32mm/57

Fits certain vintage electrics, notably some Teles and Strats,
but most electric guitars do NOT have this extreme radius, and should use our model 1.

fretboard radius is the whole story on this model!

There seems to be a persistent myth that all electric guitars have a more extreme radius to the 
fretboard than acoustic guitars. In fact, only a very few do. Most electric guitars have the same 
radius as acoustic steel string guitars.

The model 4 was created specifically for some older editions of Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster, 
and copies of these guitars, that have a more radical curve to the fretboard. Most electric guitars 
do not have this radical curve, and should use our model 1.

more about this...

The curves on our model 4 capos and our model 1 capos are actually pretty similar. If you happen 
to get the wrong one, you might find that it works OK anyway, depending on string gauge and action. 
The rubber that presses the strings is very resilient, and forgiving of slight differences in fretboard radius.

Shubb Capos
for 7.25" radius fretboards

The Shubb capo models C4, C4B, C4k, C4a, L4, and S4 are made to fit a fretboard radius of 
approximately 7.25 inches (as opposed to our standard steel string models, which can nicely 
accommodate a radius ranging from 9 to 16 inches).

So which guitars have these fretboards? Ah, that is the question.
There tends to be a fair amount of confusion about the radius of guitar fretboards.

First, it's safe to say that the vast majority of guitars which MIGHT have a 7.25" radius 
fretboard are electric guitars. But...
• Do all electric guitars have a 7.25" radius fretboard?
NO! Most have a 9.5" radius or greater, and should use our C1, C1B, or S1 capos

Fender guitars are often associated with a more extremely radiused fretboard, but...
• Do all Fender guitars have a 7.25" radius fretboard?
NO! Even most Fenders have at least a 9.5" radius.

Some people assume that a Tele or Strat has a more extremely radiused fretboard, but..
• Do all Fender Teles or Strats have a 7.25" radius fretboard?
NO! There are so many models of Fender Telecaster or Stratocaster, most of which do not 
have this radical curve, that it is difficult to keep track of which has which curve.
• HEY! Wait a minute. Do ANY guitars have this curve?
Well, yes. SOME of the old vintage Teles and Strats, and some copies of these styles of guitars, 
DO have the 7.25" radius fretboard. That's why we made this model of capo.

the only way to know is to learn to identify by eye.
radius
Kind of hard to see much difference here, isn't it? But on your guitar, you can tell ...once you're 
used to looking at one or the other.

• What if you get the wrong one?
In many cases, this is not a big problem. The rubber on the Shubb Capo is soft and forgiving, and 
depending on your string gauge and action, it can accommodate the difference between these two curves.

That said, you would probably prefer to have the model capo that was made to fit your fretboard.

SHUBB C7b D-Tune Capo, Brass

plain brass, original design

Model C7 and C7B.

I was introduced to the concept of partial capoing many years ago by the great acoustic 
guitarist Harvey Reid and by Jeff Hickey, who developed the Third Hand capo 
(an elastic capo designed exclusively for partial capoing). These guys both were users of
Shubb capos for "regular" capoing, but were WAY into the possibilities of partial capoing. 
In addition to using a Third Hand, I noticed that Harvey had modified one of his Shubb capos 
by cutting it down so that it skipped the outside string and covered only the next three. 
He got some really wonderful sounds with this partial capo. Shortly thereafter I saw Chris 
Proctor using one he had customized, evidently inspired by Harvey.

A few years later I met Adrian Legg, who was introduced to me by John Pearse as
"the best guitar player in Europe," which is no exaggeration. I noticed that he, too, was using a 
sawed-off Shubb capo quite a lot, as an integral part of his amazing guitar style.

Adrian, Harvey, Chris, and Jeff had urged me for quite some time to put an end to this wanton 
mutilation of Shubb capos, and to actually make one ourselves that would do the job.

It wasn't good enough to just cut off a portion of our guitar capo; we built a crook into the 
frame that allows the capo to clearly skip the outside string without buzzing, while 
covering the next three. Then we altered the pad to line up with this new geometry. 
We nicknamed the odd looking new capo the Dogleg because of its angular bend. 
We didn't use that name officially when it went to market, but for a few years we 
still called it the Dogleg around the shop.

In 1995 we introduced our partial capo, and it has been growing in popularity ever since.

It skips the outside string and covers the next three, either 2-3-4 or 5-4-3 (emulating DADGAD tuning)

Partial capoing is NOT the same as open 

SHUBB C1k CAPO Stålstr. Black

Steel String Guitar
fits most acoustics and electrics

Capo Noir now includes the design features previously available only on our stainless steel models!

• Roller design - smoother action, superior geometry, reduced wear
• Rounded edges - softer to the touch
• Contoured lever - easier to use

 	
For years our most commonly requested combination of features has been "can I get the Shubb capo in 
black with the roller?" Well, now you can.

Machined of brass and plated in black chrome, this stunningly beautiful capo will be the
choice of anyone who prefers an elegant and inconspicuous look onstage or off. 
Perfect for instruments with black hardware or any dark finished instrument, and a must 
have for anyone who likes the stealth look!
 
Roller mechanism
The roller mechanism equalizes the dropoff across the full range of the capo.
Because the roller head adjusts upward on an arc (as opposed to a straight line) it moves inward toward 
the center curve of the middle piece of the capo as it is tightened - so it does not move further past 
center when it is set tighter. This maintains a relationship between the moving parts that results in the same, 
ideal amount of dropoff at any point within the capo's working range.
So you get the ideal amount of dropoff on a thin neck, on a thick neck, and all those in between... 
and on different parts of the same neck.
