The Planet Waves Dual-Action Capo. The product of an ongoing collaboration between famed product designer Ned Steinberger and D'Addario. The compound action reduces the force necessary to open and close the capo. It also eliminates side-pulling the strings out of tune, which is prevalent on other trigger-type capos. Aircraft-quality aluminum construction adds virtually no weight to the guitar's neck when in use and the capo can be clamped on the headstock when idle. Simply adjust the tactile micrometer tension control so there is just enough tension to eliminate string buzzing.

They seem to fundamentally fall into two categories, each of which I define by their flaw. The first are capos that require two hands (or lots of time and finesse with one hand, if one-hand operation is even possible). The problem here is that I don't want to stand on stage (or even during practice by myself) messing with capos. The second group are capos that can be operated with one hand but press down WAY TOO HARD on the strings and make them go sharp. This isn't so bad if you're playing solo, but playing with a group, you'll be out of tune, and if you don't capo all the strings (I often leave the low E open), the open string(s) will be out of tune with the sharped, capo'd strings. The Planet Waves Dual Action manages to solve both these problems. It's easy to squeeze and a real pleasure to use with one hand (much easier than the Dunlop or Kyser), and it doesn't press the strings down too hard. It's got a dial, in fact, that you can use...

I would pay more money for the extra quality. Gave it 4 out of 5 stars as one broke when I grabbed it the wrong way. I have 2 left. Just what you need!, By EYE4GET (SAN ANTONIO, TX, US) - See all my reviews This review is from: Planet Waves NS Dual Action Guitar Capo in Black (Electronics) Everyone who sees my Capo ask about it and want to try it. It mutes the strings perfectly and is easy to place and move. Once you adjust the tension for your guitar, it does an excellent job. Some of the older spring Capos lose their holding power and slip. This Capo is padded in the right spots and won't damage your guitar. |
