D'Addario Guitar Capo – Pro Plus Capo - Ideal for Acoustic, Electric, Classical, & 12-String Guitars - Black

No issues, holds all 12 strings down securely. The low-profile design gives my fingers more clearance.

The density and structural integrity of the clamping surface material is perfect! On my twelve string, it easily depresses the side by side thick and thin strings for a perfect sound every time. Easy to clamp and so small it is not intrusive while playing. I use this clamp also on my 6 string acoustic and electric guitars!

a review redo it worked for about a week just great but it now only buzzes all the smaller strings on my12 string . now I tried tightening it up more but the smaller strings still sound muffled with low buzz .it's just can't handle a 12 for long but it works on a six just fine .it's advertized to work on both Guitars I was as skeptical at first and it did work but only for a short time .I also have a KYSER Capo for a 12 it works just it's over a year old with no buzz issues at all I do like the minimalistic concept design of this one but it's just didn't hold up for long on my 12 .to bad I really like the smaller size .

Best capo on the market. Works perfectly on any guitar.

This capo was terrible for a 12-String guitar, as advertised. First of all, the neck coverage was marginal. Had to be precise and tedious. I would have been ok with that requiremenent. But, the tensioning know came off when I attempted to back it off. The tension knob came off and I had to find otherwise to get the capo off my guitar. All the tensioner materials were inferior and stripped on their first use. Very frustrated. Good idea. Poor execution.

Worked great for a while. I have had this capo for about six months now and really liked it for a while. I’ve used it on all three of my acoustic guitars. Lately I noticed buzzing on the bass strings. It seems like the rubber ring on the knob is loose. Squeezing the knob while adjusting it seems to help somewhat. But in gig situations I found I was apologizing for my capo not behaving. Luckily I have Shubb capos as backups.

The LAST thing this capo needs is another five star review. But you don't understand what it's like to find THE solution to a problem after literally decades of searching. And that's what happened to me. I'm too lazy to count, but I must own 15, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20, capos. Literally a life long search. The task sounds so simple. And the money I spent! As we speak, people are spending twice the cost of this little miracle that will ALMOST do what it does. I don't need to name names. But shame on you, 50$ capos! Well, instead, let me list the requirements. What you want from a capo is this: 1. Ease of use. 2. Applies JUST the correct amount of pressure. Not too much (because that pushes strings out of tune), not too little (buzzing). 3. You want it to be as narrow as possible, and as flat as possible, so it doesn't mess with your fretting hand. And 4. you need it to be sensitive to the different string gauges. We tend to underestimate what our fingers actually do when we play a bar chord. It's quite impressive. The flesh on our index finger adapts to six very different thicknesses of wire. And this capo, miraculously, emulates this sensitivity. The simple thumb screw makes it possible to fine tune the pressure. In conclusion: This is simply the perfect capo. Affordability is a big part of the praise I'm heaping on this product.Now let me, just real quick, speak as a musician. I have a small crappy guitar. It's cheap, nothing special. I used the D'Addario capo on this beater. Suddenly I can play IN TUNE, on the seventh fret. And this little nothing guitar sings. Perfectly in tune, with sustain and clarity. It's like a new instrument. That's the kind of impact a well designed tool can have. Very cool. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

It's really just a simple trick -- they used a soft enough, yet hardy, sleeve of Silicone rubber. So what happens is that when you tighten the capo with simple barrel on threads, each string is individually wrapped solidly enough that it deadens above the fret without having to push it down hard, pulling the strings out of tune with each other. I wish they made a partial capo too. I sometimes use three capos on a song. So I'm going to buy another and saw off about 3/8 " to shorten enough to leave either High or Low E open.
