Its minimal size means it’s not in the way when you are playing right next to it. It’s also very light. It’s super easy and quick to fit The micro adjustment means it’s easy to get the perfect sound without any buzz. The unique way of tensioning the clamp also means you get an even clamp across all strings. I’ve tried this in various guitars with different shaped fretboards and gauges of strings. It works perfectly each time. But most importantly there are no tuning issues at all. Wherever you place the capo, you can instantly play in tune. No more retuning a fraction to bring all the strings back into line. I wish I’d got one of these a long time ago. PS. I went for the more expensive metal version, partly because of looks, but also for robustness Review: Works really well. Highly recommended - I have a guitar that's a little out of whack, and the strings buzz really badly unless clamped down on the third fret or higher. This does that so well! Being able to change the tension is probably key to it, and this is really ready to do that. It is a quality piece of kit, fixing the issue on my guitar (I love playing the key of C shapes at capo 3 anyway). It works well on my competent guitars too! If day is h good value for money. ## Features - HIGH PERFORMANCE: Micrometer tension adjustment assures buzz-free in-tune performance at every fret. Apply the perfect tension to your guitar. - DESIGNED FOR: Designed for 6 or 12 string acoustic and electric guitars with radiused fretboards - STRONG, DURABLE: Made of strong, durable aircraft grade aluminum construction - EASY TO USE: Fast Micrometer Screw for single hand use for adjusting tension and moving up and down the fretboard with ease. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000B6FBA2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 296 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 10 in Capotastos | | Body Material Type | Aluminium | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Colour | multicoloured | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 16,572 Reviews | | Finish Type | Eloxiert | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954948153 | | Grip Material | Rubber | | Included Components | Capos in multiple colors | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 9.5 x 1.9 x 17.6 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.3 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 9.5 x 1.9 x 17.6 centimetres | | Item weight | 0.3 Grams | | Manufacturer | Planet Waves | | Material | Aluminium | | Material Type | Aluminium | | Model Name | Pro | | Model Number | PW-CP-02 | | Product Style | Capo Pro | | Style | Capo Pro | | UPC | 019954948153 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** multicoloured - **Item weight:** 0.3 Grams - **Material:** Aluminium - **Style:** Capo Pro ## Images ![D'Addario NS Capo, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614xdaJC3jL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I know there are capos specifically made for mandolins/banjos, but I was wondering if this was also adaptable for intonation purposes. Thanx!** A: I've used mine on several of my mandolin with success. Intonation was very good, so much so that I plan on getting the model specifically for mandolin/banjo from Planet Wave to not have it be so large and hitting my hand. It's perfect for my 6 and 12 string guitars, though. I have Dunlop and Shubb models that are very good, but I'm enjoying the Planet Wave design and intonation BEST. **Q: Will this work with a 2" nut and a radiused (24") fingerboard?** A: I don't have that particular configuration but I'll give you some information and I hope it helps. I got the standard steel-string model for my (standard) old Martin and the Classical model for my Taylor 712 with a 1 3/4" nut and a somewhat flatter fingerboard (I don't know the radius). The standard actually works on the Taylor but the Classical model seems to give me fewer tuning issues with the 6th string. The PW Classical model actually has a slight curve so it might be fine with a 24" radius but I couldn't say for sure. **Q: I want to use this on a taylor 414ce-n with a 1-7/8” nut width. is the best choice?** A: The Planet Waves capo that the D'Addario is designed from works very well on my custom OOO with 1&15/16" nut width. The D'Addario looks like the same capo but is not. I can't tell what they changed but it simply will not exert the same pressure on the strings as the old Planet Waves. I have a Rainsong with 1&3/4" nut, that the D'Addario will work on but even on this guitar the clamping nut backs off after a while. In my opinion D'Addario took a very good design and dropped the ball. **Q: Can i use this for yamaha pacifica 112j electric guitar?** A: Sure, the tension is adjustable and so it would work fine on an electric guitar. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect capo - bar none *by B***Ⓥ on 17 April 2025* The best capo I have ever used.

But as I say it is fantastic at doing its job ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitar - Pro Capo - Adjustable Tension - Guitar Accessories - Works for 6 String and 12 String Guitars - Black - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Tuner - Eclipse Headstock Tuner - Clip On Tuner for Guitar - Great for Acoustic Guitars & Electric Guitars - Quick & Accurate Tuning - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52788584-daddario-ns-capo-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52788584-daddario-ns-capo-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
