michaeljohnr Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I was looking at the Shubb 6 string capos and noticed that the pad width is 2". On a 1.725" nut width guitar, you are right at 2" up around the 7th fret. The does not leave much room if any for the pad on the high and low sides. I was wondering if anyone here uses the 12 string model for 6 string, and if it fits the same as the 6 string model. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Dunno about Shubb... but I've used Kyser 6 and 12-string interchangeably on 6-strings to the point I tend to get the 12-string version for acoustics regardless, given the price is the same depending on a given day, and the spring may be a bit stronger for heavier as well as more strings. In fact, don't ask me what Kyser is in which guitar case... and I think the old 12 just has a rubber band 12-string Dunlop 'stedda one of the newer types. I still use the rosewood-string-friction peg capo on the nylon AE. That doggone thing is right at 50 years old. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Suitability of any capo will depend on f/b radius as well as width So it is not possible to guess across the ocean success or not... :unsure: I use Shubb 12's on 12str and 6's on 6 str Enjoy your quest... And, as ever, try before you buy... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack6849 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 My Shubb 12 string capo works well for all my guitars. I like the extra width. Pretty much makes it universal.... Works for me. Happy New Year Jack6849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
