Easiest Most Effective Capo I've Used

| The Kyser capo is well designed. Normally "parked" on the head of my guitar, I can easily add, move or remove in 2 seconds. The unique feature of this capo is that you can flip it around, for example, cover the 3rd 4th and 5th strings on the second fret to convert it to an open E B A E B E tuning from a standard E B G D A E tuning. Very reliable and fun. Highly recommended. |
This capo is a gift to guitarists.

I use capos a LOT, and this thing is an absolute dream...simply pinch and move...it's that simple. My concern at first was that it would not properly hold down the strings, but that fear was eliminated as soon as I took it out of the package and popped it on...2 seconds flat. I have 2, which I have now been using for 4 years.
The only thing about these capos is that the rubber does break down somewhat, and the strings will leave an indentation in the rubber. It doesn't seem to affect the pressure on the strings, however, and I have yet to replace one. At any rate, it would be absolutely worth it to have to frequently replace them if that were even the case because their ease of use is absolutely indispensable. Four years so far seems a very, very good run to me. |
Looks and Works Great

I'm a beginner guitar player, so I was looking for a decent capo at a decent price so I could add some more songs to my repertoire. Before this one, I had ordered the Kyser Pro/Am 6-String Guitar Capo. The reviews on it were good and they said it was easy to take on and off, but I hated it. It was really difficult for me to get a good sound on it, it just wouldn't tighten enough.
This one is great though. It's easy to put on and take off, and holds all six strings down without a hitch, delivering a nice even tone, without the "buzz" you sometimes get when the strings aren't held down hard enough. You can just leave it on the head when you're not using it, and then just clip it on when you want to play with it on.
It also looks sleek and classy, with the all black design, which is always a plus for me. All in all, a great buy and I highly recommend it for anyone beginning to play guitar or unhappy with their current capo. |
Works great

| Does exactly what it's supposed to. I don't play guitar that much these days, but this met my needs just fine. |
I Love This Capo!

| My husband bought one of these capos for me, and I liked it so much that I bought one to give to a friend. The design makes it quick to put on and take off. My guitar stays in tune and I don't have any buzzing strings. The springs are pretty strong and the capo clamps on tightly, but there has been no damage to my guitar at all. I bought this for about $15. According to the warranty, Kyser will replace the capo for $3 if there are problems during the first year and for $10 after the first year. If it breaks after the first year, I'll probably just buy another. The color selection is nice, but I stuck with basic black. I'm sure there are better capos out there, but this one suits my needs just fine. |
