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 few do. Most electric guitars have the same radius (around 9.5 inches) as acoustic steel string guitars.

The model 4 was created specifically for some models 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 C4k, C4, and C4B are the same except for the finish. The S4 (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...).
