Less than half the weight
of an original Shubb capo.
The Shubb Lite is made from
aircraft grade aluminum.
It weighs less than one ounce.
Is a Lightweight capo for you? Maybe. Some people associate a certain amount of heft with quality, while many others feel that a capo should be as light as possible.
Neither opinion is right or wrong; it's a matter of choice. If a lighter weight capo is to your liking, and that of your instrument, then the Shubb Lite is definitely the capo for you!
Lite capos are now vailable in four vibrant new COLORS!
...plus the traditional silver-aluminum color, of course.
Shown here: model 1,
for steel string guitar.

Frequently asked questions:
• Will some of the other models, like Deluxe or partial capos, be available in the new colors?
The finishing process that produces these colors is called anodizing, and it can only be applied to aluminum. Deluxe will always be stainless steel, and have its own look. But partials... well, let's wait and see. Is there sufficient demand for a Lite partial capo? Let me know. The manufacturing process for the partial is different, so the demand would have to be pretty persuasive.
• Will the Lite capo give my instrument a better sound than a heavier one?
It might. Instruments vary so much in their setup, and so does everyone's idea of better sound. You'd just have to try one yourself and be the judge. It will depend on your own instrument, and your own ear.
• Will there be more colors?
That depends on how popular these colors turn out to be, and what sort of feedback we get from you. Making one in a new color is not quite as simple as we'd like it to be; each color requires its own sku number, packaging, barcode, etc. and additionally complicates ordering and stocking for dealers. And it requires a production run of at least 1,000 capos in any given color. So if your favorite color is not available, let us know, and ask around to see if 999 of your friends would like one, too.
• Will the Lite capo ever be available with the roller, like the Deluxe?
Maybe some day, but it is not currently in the works. It is something we've considered, but we'll have to assess the damand. Like many possible product requests that begin with "why can't you just...", there is more to it than meets the eye.
• Why are Shubb Capos the best for not creating tuning problems?
Intonation is the feature that really distinguishes Shubb capos from all others. They are designed to close onto the neck just like your hand, and to press the string just like your fingertip, and they are totally adjustable.

• How many different models and styles do Shubb Capos come in, and what are the differences?
The "model" refers to what neck shape the capo fits (1, 2, 3 etc.), and the "style" refers to its finish, material, color, etc. (deluxe, Lite, Capo Noir, etc.).
Here is a chart showing all the models and styles.
• What is the correct way to apply the capo, from the top (bass side) or bottom (treble side)?
Either is correct. Users seem to be about equally divided, even among the top players.

• Will the curve of the capo match the radius of my fretboard?
Yes, it will. Although there is some variation in fretboard radii, the curve of the Shubb capo is a good fit for all of them.
