For your steel string guitar, acoustic or electric,
chances are that one of the four capos above is the right one.
The C1k, C1, and C1B are the same except for the finish. The S1
(deluxe) is different: it is made of stainless steel, not brass,
and features a roller design. It also has additional benefits
due to its geometry (learn more...).
If your guitar's neck is exceptionally wide, (string spacing
2" or greater) then you might need our model
3 (for 12-string guitar.)
If your guitar's neck is exceptionally thick, as some vintage
guitars and some V-neck models, then we have a special capo for
you: our S3V.
fretboard radius
Almost every steel string guitar has a radiused fretboard. The
radius usually ranges from 9.5" to 15". While this may
sound like a wide range, it is almost impossible to perceive the
difference by eye. Our model 1 will fit any of these steel string
guitar fretboards perfectly.
A few electrics, notably certain older Fenders and copies of
them, have a more extreme radius. This radius is about 7.5",
and the difference is notable. For these, we have the model
4.
Sometimes people think of their acoustic guitar fretboard as
"flat." If they are comparing their Martin to their
Telecaster, it may be flatter ...but chances are, it
is not flat. It is very unusual to find
a steel string guitar with a truly flat fretboard, but in those
rare cases -- perhaps custom instruments -- then our model 2 would
be the right choice.
