 Great capo for the price! Apr 15, 2009
By Phillip E. Wiltzius
I bought the Planet Waves Guitar Capo in black the other day, and it works great!
I did a lot of shopping around because I wanted a good capo for my acoustic electric guitar, and when I came upon this one I liked the style.
BENEFITS:
-The Capo is screw on from the bottom, so that means you can adjust how tight it is on the strings (So you can barre chords or just silence strings).
-The black looks great, and the material is nice- I don't think it could scratch the guitar neck unless you wore off the thick padding.
-This could go either way, but the capo is nice and small. I was a bit surprised when I got it, but it works just fine. Would probably be easy to lose if you have a messy place though!
DRAWBACKS:
You can't really mount the capo on the headstock, even if you try to screw it on. The only way I can figure out to keep it on is to clamp both the top tuning key and the headstock. (Not recommended of course)
OVERALL:
This is a great capo. It's built well, does what it needs to do, and it looks nice. Like I said, my only gripe is that it doesn't fit on the headstock very well. Definitely recommended!

How to capo a classical May 05, 2009
By bigdumbHoosier
Using a capo on a classical guitar can be difficult -- the neck is wide, and thick. Intonation suffers, and the bass strings tend to buzz. The Planet Waves NS Classical Guitar Capo solved these problems. Because it is tightened onto the neck by a screw action, it always pushes the strings down against the neck straight.
Classical guitars are also light weight; this capo is made of aluminum and is also quite light so it doesn't change the feel of the guitar in your hands. It has a sleek, low profile and therefore doesn't interfere with left hand fingering as can be the case with spring capos.
Some players feel it takes too long to put it on the guitar or object to the fact that it requires both hands. I don't find that to be the case, presumably you're reasonably coordinated or you wouldn't attempt to play classical guitar. Yes, you'll need to use both hands, but ultimately the Planet Waves NS is a quicker install because it works correctly the first time. The worst thing is starting to play a song and realizing one's capo isn't getting the job done.
Capos aren't used too extensively in classical guitar music, but you still need one in your case. But if you're like me and also like to play your classical for finger style folk or pop music (esp. 'Americana') you should get one of these.
Now I want one for my steel string guitars too.

Brilliant engineering. Feb 21, 2010
By C. Eade
I use the classical model on my nylon gits. This version runs out of adjustment on the low frets on my Seagull Grade. Works, but I would like it to have a bit more range.

By Consumer 3000
Well-built, light-weight, looks good, clamps the strings with zero distortion - what more can you ask for? Buy this capo without hesitation. Happy strumming...

The best capo ever! Aug 29, 2009
By Maverick Brandless
"Tentative transient"
This elegant looking capo is slim and simple to use. Just place it againts the guitar neck and crank it down gently untill the strings are depressed enough. I can't think of this thing going wrong. It's extreamly light weight like it's hardly even there. There is one gripe I do have about it. It did get in the way of my index finger trying to do a Em chord one fret higher, but I think it's true with all capos that they'll eventually get in they, but I doubt anything out there is as slim and out of the way as this one.
