Thanks to our revolutionary, FlexFit technology, the pad used on the capo arm of the D’Addario Pro Plus Capo mimcs the way the anatomy of the human finger functions when fretting a string—so you never have to worry about unwanted buzzing, muted strings, or intonation issues caused by varying pressure on this premium capo. With minimal overall pressure every string rings clear, clean, and in tune. The Pro Plus is designed to function perfectly on virtually all guitars, including flat fingerboard classical guitars, all the way to vintage electrics with a 7” fretboard radius.

Il miglior capotasto che io abbia mai avuto. Si adatta con precisione a qualsiasi manico di chitarra, sia a inizio che a fondo manico, e le corde non friggono mai.

I've had all manner of capos over the years: D'Addario NS Pro with the big handle on top and the spring, Thalia capos with the replaceable fret pads (including the softer 12 string on, different radii, etc.), the things iwht the elastic band around them, the ones with the screw on the back, and this tops them all. It works and allow the strings to ring with out over tightening on my Ric and PRS 12 strings (PRS with tradition string placement), my Les Paul, and Fender CS Strat with a skinny neck, a 53 Tele reissue with it's C neck, etc. All work great. String are properly intimated, don't buzz, and you don't have to make it too tight thus puling the string out of tune. And it's more or less "out of the way." I play Hotel California with the Capo at the 7th fret like the original (Glenn capos at 5 these days ...), and the Ric stays in tune, no buzzing, and dealing with that B7 shape is no problem, as it was with even the Talia capo, with had to be tighter to not buzz.Other have said that the screw tightener breaks off or strips: how tight are you making it? It doesn't have to be very tight at all! Tighten just enough so you get no string buzz; make sure that it's on far enough to reach all the strings. easy peasy.

I’m not the type of person who leaves reviews but this product is just simply the best I ever triedI just been a 5 years 12 string player but I play for more than 30 yearsCapos are not my favorite thing when comes to play because they’re not easy and lie on the tuning but this capo accomplished what is built forSo easy to install, you don’t even need a lot of pressure is incredible, buy it , you won’t regret it.

Don't let the price scare you. This is a solid capo that works perfectly across all of my guitars (7), and not an off-note anywhere to be found. If you're sick of your guitar being out of tune with a capo even though your guitar's action, nut, neck relief, and intonation are perfect, then this is the capo for you.

Didn't have high hopes for this capo on my Takamine 12 string. But it works great! Fits well no dead strings and easy to use. Win!

Initially praised the capo for being the only capo that worked on my 12 string Maton. Didn’t even get 3 months out of it before the cap screw head came off while attached to the guitar making it impossible to loosen for release from the guitar neck. Had to use pliers to turn screw to remove it! Not made to last. A good idea but not made well at all!

Works great on my acoustics with 12” radius & my 9.5” electrics. All are 6 string guitars so I can’t comment for 12 strings. Just slide over just behind fret, tighten gently until strings stop buzzing.Causes minimal tuning issues. Store at nut when not in use. It’s very small & light so no “neck dive” issue. Can be used single handed too.

I have 9 acoustic guitars ranging from 12 fret parlor size to dreadnought. Works well on all of them. Soft material that conforms to all of the necks my guitars have. Can't tell you about the longevity as I have only had it a short time.

It’s best for electric guitars, you can still use it on classical guitars but it’s not long enough for the classical’s neck, but it will do a good job up until 4th fret; it’s not large enough for the 5th, 6th … frets.

I bought this to use on my classical guitar after reading the description. I had high hopes of an improved capo experience especially on frets 1-3. It is a nice capo but ultimately doesn't work any better than my Thalia capo. The rolling capo seems to work best for my classical guitars but makes it tough to put them on a hanging stand. It seems that classical guitars are just tough to capo on the 1st-3rd frets anyway. Thankfully, I don't need them much. BTW, they seem to be just fine capped on the 5th and 7th frets. This may be unique to my Cordoba and Take mine guitars, I'm not sure. I do like that you can adjust the tension. That is helpful.One advantage this one has is that, because it is thin, I can put it almost directly on the fret, where it seems to work best, and can still play on the first fret. Overall, it's a very good capo but I'm not sure that it is the revolutionary new improved product I hoped it would be.

Tanto para guitarra acústica de cuerdas de metal como para guitarras de 12 cuerdas, excelente, conserva muy bien la afinación y las cuerdas sueltas suenan bastante bien

The LAST thing this capo needs is another five star review. But you don't understand what it's like to find THE solution to a problem after literally decades of searching. And that's what happened to me. I'm too lazy to count, but I must own 15, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20, capos. Literally a life long search. The task sounds so simple. And the money I spent! As we speak, people are spending twice the cost of this little miracle that will ALMOST do what it does. I don't need to name names. But shame on you, 50$ capos! Well, instead, let me list the requirements. What you want from a capo is this: 1. Ease of use. 2. Applies JUST the correct amount of pressure. Not too much (because that pushes strings out of tune), not too little (buzzing). 3. You want it to be as narrow as possible, and as flat as possible, so it doesn't mess with your fretting hand. And 4. you need it to be sensitive to the different string gauges. We tend to underestimate what our fingers actually do when we play a bar chord. It's quite impressive. The flesh on our index finger adapts to six very different thicknesses of wire. And this capo, miraculously, emulates this sensitivity. The simple thumb screw makes it possible to fine tune the pressure. In conclusion: This is simply the perfect capo. Affordability is a big part of the praise I'm heaping on this product.Now let me, just real quick, speak as a musician. I have a small crappy guitar. It's cheap, nothing special. I used the D'Addario capo on this beater. Suddenly I can play IN TUNE, on the seventh fret. And this little nothing guitar sings. Perfectly in tune, with sustain and clarity. It's like a new instrument. That's the kind of impact a well designed tool can have. Very cool. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
