Neal Williams Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Its a schubb that I've used for years on my LP. But on my new 335 with D neck it's taking her OOT. Any one had this? And can you recommend a capo that's more, um compatible please? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Cant make a specific recommendation but the thicker necks obviously need a looser fit capo. Cant you just take it to a music store & try some out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Williams Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Thanks. Yeah guess so but limited stock where I live so was gonna buy online. Will have to travel a bit further. Thanks for replying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 No disrespect, but you aren't supposed to capo an electric guitar. That's for acoustic folk singers. Never saw Les Paul himself or Larry Carleton use a capo. Just sayin.😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers It might just be that the capo is a bit sensitive to the neck or the guitar's string height than on a different guitar, causing the strings running through the capo to bend. I've had that happen on some guitars. Its easily remedied by taking a few extra moments to make sure to carefully check that the strings are properly aligned and not bending when the capo is initially put on as well as when it is tightened. That resolved the issue for me. After a few times, it became second nature to do that. I find any brand of capo can cause the same string bending if not put on carefully on some guitar. Could be that is all that is happening to cause it to be out of tune. QM aka "Jazzman" Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 You should be able to find one that work on your guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I have a Shubb and mine adjusts how loose or tight it can be with a grub screw. I guess you have a Shubb that doesn't have that option. Edited October 4, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 if the tuning variance is more drastic on the first two / three frets, I would take a quick look at nut slot depth. Note that Gibson doesn't go to any great lengths to regulate the nut out of the factory. Lots of reasons why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
