    A very CAPO-bul Capo (no BULL!)Bought a 12 string acoustic after 12 or 13 guitarless years. Decided I needed a capo. This one came recommended by a music teacher, and had excellent reviews here on Amazon. Not only is it priced reasonably.. but it WORKS. And... it's design is graceful and pretty. Easy to use, and at least as effective as the old school ugly kind - the ones shaped like a D with a wing nut to tighten...5Works great on my Taylor 12 stringI couldn't get other, more expensive capos to work on my 12 string. They wouldn't fret the E and A octave strings. This one does the job!5Not perfectI own a 2014 Martin D12-28. For frets 1 through 5, it works fine, with a bit of tweaking. The other frets, on the other hand, there are issues.Specifically, for fret 7 (for those who want to play Hotel California) you really need to take your time to get this capo on that fret perfectly. You have to watch, and take your time, to make sure the capo is coming down evenly on the strings. If your rush, then the "E" strings start bending. There is no "Just put the capo on the fret" or "Quick-change." You really have to watch how the capo goes on this fret, or you will be bending strings, and when you play, you get that awful buzzing sound. Playing the 12 string with this capo on the seventh fret becomes interesting and a bit of a challenge, but doable.This was the most expensive capo I have ever purchased. With Kyser's reputation, I expected better. This is definitely NOT a quick-change capo when it comes to the Martin D12-28, but once it's on and on correctly, it works. That is why I gave it a four star rating.4Tough to applyThis capo starts out as really tight. Almost to the point that it s difficult to get on/off. I m hoping with use it will stretch a bit. I think people with lesser hand strength may struggle with this. It also just covers the 12 strings. Not nearly as accommodating as I thought it would be. I cannot vouche for durability as we have only had it a short time.3My favorite brand of CaposI have been using Kyser capos for over 20 years now. Of all of the brands I have tried, this brand is my favorite. I have some that I have been using for over 20 years, so they are very durable. They are so easy to use and you can change position very quickly, which is nice when you are playing out. the one for the 12 string has a little more tension than the ones for 6 strings for the obvious reason that you have more strings to hold down. I would not recommend using it for a 6 string because it would be too much tension and that would not be good for keeping your guitar in tune, the frets or the strings. But it works great for the 12 string and there is no buzzing.5Make sure you realize this capo is for thicker/curved neck guitarsMy 12 string guitar (takamine EG523SC-12) has a very thin, flat neck. I was immediately disappointed in this capo when I realized it didn't have the tension to hold down frets 1-3, and frets 4 and 5 both had open string buzz on the D and G strings.However on a friend's 12 string with a larger neck, the capo worked perfectly. The capo also worked just fine on my 6 string seagull s6 slim.By examining the capo you can see that the portion holding the strings is slightly curved concavely with respect to the guitar neck. Most guitars that I've seen are like this, but it wasn't the case for the takamine.On the guitars that it worked with, and compared with my previous capos which require the user to screw the capo clamp tighter/looser for each fret, there are definite pros and cons..Pros:-The capo is extremely easy to move from one fret to the next and to remove.-The capo is faster at moving from one fret to the next. The other capos required tension changes really for any different fret, which means valuable time during a performance of you simply tightening a screw a little bit to get the perfect tightness.-The capo just looks better. Its design looks top notch.Cons:-The capo is a little less versatile. By this I mean that you don't have much "control" over it. Its tension is always the same. I did not feel comfortable going to higher frets when I thought of just how tightly it was squeezing the guitar neck (and it wouldn't go past fret 12 on my seagull due to size limitations). Additionally, I'll experiment with partial capo songs that my twist capos would be able to configure to but not this. (Not a huge deal).-You do have to be careful if you want good intonation. The twist capos come straight down when clamping shut, compared to this which can come in angled. The result is that the strings get bent or pushed to one side and always end up sharp. You have to be careful. (That being said, once in position, I've noticed it holds the intonation better after longer periods of time).After awhile it becomes easier to not mess up the intonation, and there are very few times when I'm performing that I have to do anything fancy with a guitar capo, which really only leaves the pros. I'd say it's important though to have a few capos on hand for the different uses, but this is one that should be at close reach. Given its looks and ease to maneuver I highly recommend it for performance settings assuming it fits your guitar.If there is anything else you'd like to see in the review, please comment.4This capo will certainly outlast your 12-string if you use it...On receiving this capo I noticed it came with a piece of black cloth tape covering the inner part of the clamp that is at the side of the guitar when it's used. It is almost impossible to see in the Amazon ad, even with the brightness on my monitor turned up. This thin piece of tape is meant to protect the edge of the fingerboard where the capo rests against it. Unlike some other brands of capo, this one is not designed to bend away from the side of the guitar, but instead, pushes hard up against it. It's a matter of aluminum vs ebony (or rosewood): aluminum wins. If you were to adjust this capo up and down your fingerboard, even with the tape there, it would be like running a rasp over the edge. The spring exerts more pressure than a 6-string capo to counter the string tension of a 12-string guitar, making that aluminum press even harder against the edge of your fingerboard. First you'll get scoring, followed by finish deterioration, chipping and splintering. That piece of tape is most definitely an afterthought on the part of the manufacturer, a really bad one. The second design issue is how the compression lever that pushes against the back of the neck hits at a high angle. Instead of the lever cradling the neck of the guitar, supporting it with a larger surface area, just the tip hits the back, leaving an indentation in the wood. They covered that back lever with a harder clear plastic rather than decent padding. If you order the capo and see for yourself, you will observe how that rear lever's tip is buried in the padded cross-piece that actually presses the strings down against the fret. This capo is also costs more than other brands, which I don't see justified by the poor engineering. If you don't care about your guitar, or you play cheap disposable types and need a capo that can exert maximum pressure while being able to be quickly adjusted in position, this is the one. For me and my expensive Taylor 12-string, the search continues...1Accept no substitutes! Kyser is King of CaposYou can't beat a Kyser. I acquired a couple of new guitars recently, and I made the mistake of trying to save a few bucks by buying a two-pack of no-name capos. The no-name capos looked snazzy, but were unable to clamp all the strings cleanly--their springs were simply not strong enough. I ordered this item as a replacement, and expect to get years of service from it.5Great CapoJust an easy and sturdy capo which is easy to apply and remove. It goes back to form even if you leave it on the strings (not recommended) for hours and hours. I left mine on a whole night by mistake and the next day it got the shape back with no string gouges.Update: I use this capo and the 6 string version daily. It has held up perfectly and I am really happy with it. I would immediately buy it again if I lost it... which would have to happen because it will never break!Update #2- It's June 2010 and I use this Daily...for real. They are both (6 &12) my only capos and they are fantastic. To let you know, my 12 string I use a capo fulltime on the first fret since I tune it down to relieve string tension on the 12. So I just love these capos and they most likely will last forever.Update #3- It's July 2011 and I still have both of them. I have forgotten they are on there for days at a time and they still show no permanent gouges. I use these as part of my daily playing experience. Awesome product!5It just works. Every time.It's a Kyser capo, so this kind of goes without saying. It works, and it lasts.I'm still not exactly sure why there's a difference between a 12-string capo and a six-string capo. I've used six-string capos on a 12-string guitar many times. But since I just got a new 12-string, and needed a capo for the case, I bought this to try it out. It works perfectly, and like all Kyser capos, you can count on it. You'll lose it or sell it with the guitar before you wear it out. And of course, if you do wear it out, send it in. You'll get it back fixed, or you'll get a new one.5
