"Dripping Wet"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The product is the best. It works. No frills, just great useage. If I lose it or it gets stolen (hope never), I would get another one ASAP
Ease of Use
This capo is great. I use it on my acoustic guitars with out any buzz what so ever. Each of my axes have different neck styles and the capo works great on each one. Very lite and never in the way. For the money you can't go wrong. If you want a capo that really works, this is the one to get.
Quality
The capo is made very well. I don't really care what a product looks like, as long as it works. But this capo is great looking and the ease of use is awesome. The worst aspect of this capo is that everyone who sees it, wants it, without even trying it out.
Value
I feel that for the money, this is as good as it gets. Even if it would cost more, I would purchase it all over again.
Manufacturer Support
Why? Planet wave/D'Aardariio. Great firms.

"Simple and effective tool."
I was shown this capo by Gerald Sheppard, a guitar maker in Tennessee. He had a modified one to a partial capo, which was pretty cool. I was impressed by the fact that the capo doesn't screw up the intonation, which is really annoying. Also, the open end doesn't interfere with fretting as much as some other designs. It is simple and effective. Needs a little GPS on it, tho, little boogers hide out worse than car keys.
Sound
string tension is easily adjustable, you can put just enough tension to capo but not distort/detune the guitar.
Features
Very simple design, aluminum construction. Should be bulletproof until I lose it...
Ease of Use
I bought two of these, and was going to modify one into a partial capo. I really need a couple more!
Quality
I can't imagine this capo failing any time soon. The only reason I docked it a star is I can't 'park' it on the headstock easily, as you can with many capos. So I usually jamb it in a pocket; it comes through the wash ok.
Value
Absolutely. good value for a sturdy, functional product.
Manufacturer Support
No opinion, as I have had no problems.
The Wow Factor
Nice lines. I own both a black and silver one, the silver color is easier to find so the black one stays home while the silver one travels with me. Both look great in use.

"It got stuck on my guitar"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I used it 3 times. The 3rd times it was on the 1st fret. I tried unscrewing it and the nut came off threads. Leaving the capo stuck on my brand new guitar. zZounds tried to help but both numbers given were incorrect. I had to use plyers on the threads to get it off. This does not have enough tension for an acoustic electric guitar. It may work on an electric. I wouldn't recommend for an acoustic or acoustic electric.
Sound
It's a cheaply made capo. I would never buy it again.
Features
I bought for it's low profile. What a mistake. You can't screw it tight enough on an acoustic electric without getting fret buzzing.
Ease of Use
Zero. 0.00
Quality
No. It's made very cheaply.
Value
Absolutely not. It looked nice on the websitevbut it's garbage.
Manufacturer Support
No. It's impossible to reach them. None of their numbers, given by Zzounds, went to the company, so I guess there is no support.
