Shubb C2 Standard Original Nylon String Guitar Capo in Brass

Standard Shubb Classical Capo in plain unplated brass finish. This capo is to suit a nylon string guitar with a 2.25" wide, FLAT fretboard.

In January of 2013 we upgraded the original nickel plated Shubb capo, giving it the roller and contoured lever formerly only available on our Deluxe. But whenever you change something, some people will prefer the original. So for those who still want the "classic" ...the original Shubb capo as it has been for more than 30 years.

We are continuing to make the ORIGINAL Shubb capo available in plain brass.

It is machined at our shop in Missouri, and left unplated. Plain, unplated brass will darken in time. For those of us who appreciate brass, we prefer this look; reminiscent of an old microscope, or a piece of gear from a sailing ship. But if you like your brass to shine, it can be polished with a cloth and most any commercial metal polish, and it will shine like gold. A good choice for instruments with gold colored hardware, and a natural for those who fancy a retro look.

Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which all others must be measured. It is the first choice ... often the only choice... of more than a million musicians worldwide. The serious guitarist will settle for no less.
