Hey guys!

Alright, so my capo broke a week or so ago, much to my disappointment. :( It was one of those capos where you have to twist the screw to loosen or tighten it, though, which was a pain in the butt. So I'm wondering what brands are good-quality quick-change clamp capos? I'd be using it for both electric and acoustic, and the neck on one of my electrics is wider than most others. I really need a capo by this Sunday because I'm doing a gig at the art studio that my mom is showing her pieces in.

Any suggestions for what brands I should look at would be great!! :mrgreen: Thank you!

You can get a lot of them cheaper but this is the one I use and I'm sure it will be with me a long time. If I don't lose it! :oops: Good luck in your purchase! :wink:

I always used a Kyser quick-change, spring loaded capo.

Hahaha, yep, I ended up getting a Kyser today at our local music shop! :) I've been putting it through its paces today ever since I got it, hahahaha. :D It's really nice and solid, and no string buzz. I'm very happy with it. :P

Thank you guys for all the help! :D

I use the same capo for all my guitars from Classical to a Rich Bich Metal Web

...$2.99 delivered from Hong Kong off of Ebay 4 or 5 years ago. Best capo I've used in 41 years.
