Product Overview
Shubb C8 Drop-D Partial Capo for Steel String Guitars, Polished Nickel
The Shubb C8 Partial Capo is designed to skip the 6th string (low E) and cover the other five, emulating drop-D tuning. The design features a crook in the frame that allows the capo to clearly skip the 6th string without buzzing, while covering the other five. The capo's pad has been altered to line up with this new geometry.
Applied from above the neck (from the bass side), The Shubb C8 cleanly skips the bass string and centers solidly on the neck while capoing the other five strings. While it is possible to accomplish the same thing on many necks using a regular capo, they need to be applied from the treble side, off-center to avoid the bass string. Many users prefer to apply the capo from the bass side. This capo is designed to be applied from the bass side, with a step built in to skip over the bass E string, and it centers properly for improved stability.
When the Shubb capo was first introduced about 40 years ago, guitarists throughout the world fell in love with it and they’re still in love with it today. We’ve given it a few tweaks through the years, but its basic mechanical principle remains the same: A patented over-center locking mechanism that provides an unrivaled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place, and removes it just as quickly.
The Shubb capo is by far the best at not creating tuning problems. Its soft, resilient rubber is specially designed to work just like a fingertip, so it doesn't bend the strings over the frets. Its closing action is just like your hand, so it doesn't pull the string off center. As a result, no re-tuning is necessary!
