Kyser Quick-Change Capo 6-String Guitar Reviews 5

This is the wildly popular, generic spring loaded capo. Its called the quick change capo because you can change it almost instantly from one fret to another. <br><br> I am an acoustic singer songwriter and playing writers nights in Nashville, TN

I bought this because it seemed to be the industry standard.

It is quick and easy to change, but there are several other brands that are equally as easy to change. The construction is very solid and can be used many times before the rubber wears out and stops holding the strings. It does fairly well when it comes to intonation.

The low E and the high B string bend out of tune slightly, even on a high end guitar. They also don't seem to be entirely consistent. I bought two of the exact same capos and they spring tension was not the same.

This is one of the better built capos I have used. The only one I have replaced had already been played for a couple years by a friend.

This is a good capo for the money. It is almost impossible to find a capo that doesn't put your guitar slightly out of tune. Best capo under $20.

I bought this capo in BARNSTAPLE MUSIC CENTRE in Devon, for £17.99. I think it's quite easy to get hold of though. My capo is BLACK in colour, but you can get it in BLACK, BLUE, RED, GREEN, GOLD, SILVER, WHITE, YELLOW and others!!!!!!!!!

I like this capo a lot! The colour blends into my guitar great! One thing that is the best thing is that you can use it for Acoustic or Electric guitars!!!!!!!!!!! Great! It is so easy to put on and move - it has the same theory as a clothes peg, a clamp like feature - it must be the easiest in the world! The rubber piece that clamps the strings reforms it's original shape after about 10mins after not clamping anything - so you can change guitar without sound interference!

Maybey the price if anything - £17.99 is quite a lot of money for a capo - but it's worth it.

Great quality - it comes with a year's warranty which is good. The paint doesn't chip of fade at all.

Give me this capo instead of a Shubb style capo any day of the week! Because of the range of colours etc. it wont stand out from your guitar, unless you want it to!! The added bonus of it being for electric or acoustic is great.
