Capo for 7.25" fretboard radius.
Fits certain vintage electrics, notably some Teles and Strats,
but most electric guitars do NOT have this extreme radius, and should use our model 1.

fretboard radius is the whole story on this model!
There seems to be a persistent myth that all electric guitars have a more extreme radius to the fretboard than acoustic guitars. In fact, only a very few do. Most electric guitars have the same radius as acoustic steel string guitars.
The model 4 was created specifically for some older editions of Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster, and copies of these guitars, that have a more radical curve to the fretboard. Most electric guitars do not have this radical curve, and should use our model 1.
The curves on our model 4 capos and our model 1 capos are actually pretty similar. If you happen to get the wrong one, you might find that it works OK anyway, depending on string gauge and action. The rubber that presses the strings is very resilient, and forgiving of slight differences in fretboard radius.
