The Dunlop Trigger Curved Guitar Capo is made of aircraft grade aluminum, which means it's lighweight and tough. The spring-loaded capo with thick rubber padding attaches easily and quickly to the guitar neck..
The first time you use a guitar capo can be intimidating. When placing the clamp at the right fret -- as called for by your sheet music -- and then letting it press the strings to the fretboard and the back of the guitar, it's natural to worry that the device is going to damage your guitar. It probably will if it's not properly cushioned or it grips too tightly and won't let go without a struggle.
The Dunlop Trigger Curved Guitar Capo is my favorite for ease of use and effectiveness. The capo can quickly and easily be attached to the guitar. Squeeze it to open the caliper, put over the right fret and let it go. The spring-loaded capo will grip onto the guitar right above the fret. Phew!
This sounds simple, but it's not if you buy a poorly made capo. The first model I owned required the adjustment of a thumb screw to ensure it would securly attach to the guitar neck. Then, if you weren't absolutely carefully, there was a danger that one of the rubber bumpers would fall off during installation and your guitar would get scratched. No such concern with the Dunlop Trigger Curved Guitar Capo. It has thick rubber bumpers that grip the strings and guitar firmly and don't move when you're installing it.
The Dunlp Trigger Curved Guitar Capo is fast, affordable and effective. Can't ask for more than that.
