Sound: nothing fancy, just the exact thing you need to create the sound you want. Feature: doesn't need a flashy look as long as you got your sound Quality: very durable for home or road use Value: others were more expensive, but it seemed like you were paying for a particular look that may or may not sound as good as this one. The Wow Factor: just a basic looking piece but it does what i wanted it to do Overall: seems like it will last a very long time, no need to replace

Sound: I think what this capo does probably better than any of the others is that it keeps the guitar in tune and doesn't compromise the tone. Feature: The best feature of it is you can set the pressure of it to your liking and then use it again and again without adjusting. Kind of set it and forget it. Ease of Use: Extremely easy to use, if you need help using it you seriously need help.. Quality: Top notch quality, great material. I hear when the rubber finally does wear down you can get replacement rubber from the company. That speaks volumes for the longevity of the product. Value: I think it's not the most expensive and not the least expensive but it's as good as the more expensive ones. Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with them personally, so I can't attest. The Wow Factor: Simplistic but attractive design - kudos to the inventor! Overall: Probably will last me forever, considering I can get replacement rubber for it. If lost or stolen I would replace right away

Sound: I was previously using Dunlop capos on my acoustic guitar and was frustrated because the tension was not evenly distributed which led to severe tuning problems. That is not the case with this product. It is a pleasure to use and I have to retune less frequently with it. Ease of Use: Once you find a tension you like, it's simple. Quality: Seems very well made. The rubber pad is resiliant; overall does not seem flimsy. Value: Definitely worth the price - it's one instance of you get what you pay for.

Back to Product Information
Sound: It's basically all you need in a capo! Just great. I've been using this capo for five years now. Feature: It's very compact. It does not interfere with playing, it's easy to change or remove, and it does not catch your shirt sleeves ,) (like kaiser's do, for instance). Quality: Rubber pad is very durable. The only (kind of) weakness is the plastic slider tip, that wears of eventually - but you have to play A LOT!!! Mine is still holding up after five years of extensive use. You'll probably lose it during a gig sooner than you'll notice any wear... Value: The price is kind of steep, but it's worth it. Manufacturer Support: No service was needed, and that's why it's a 10. Actually, the company has provided all the nesessary info on how to get this thing replaced, and it looks like they mean it. The Wow Factor: I'll buy another one, definitely.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Does not take away from the sound of the guitar. That makes it the best. Ease of Use: doesn't mess up tuning. It is easy to use. Quality: Quality is super. Value: It is a bargain. There are some that cost more, but they are not as good. Shubb is the best. Manufacturer Support: I emailed them to ask about various models, etc. and got a very helpful response the same day from Shubb himself. You can't beat that. Overall: It seems like it will last forever, but I have bought three of them, just so that I always have one handy.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
