Shubb C2 Original Classical Guitar Capo - Polished Nickel

The Shubb C2 Original Nickel Capo is a distinctive design that has been loved and trusted by musicians for over 35 years. Unlike generic adjustable capos, the Shubb allows you to "set it and forget it"—once you have dialed in the perfect pressure for your classical guitar, there is no need to reset it with each use. Locking and removing is as simple as flipping the lever, providing an unrivalled combination of power, speed, and accuracy.

Angkor Music Performance Insight

Classical guitars require a specific touch due to their wide, flat fretboards and nylon strings. At Angkor Music, we recommend the Shubb C2 because its custom-made rubber acts exactly like a human fingertip. It doesn't pull the strings off-center or bend them over the frets, which is the primary cause of tuning issues with inferior capos. The over-center locking principle ensures that the pressure is uniform, meaning you can spend more time playing and less time retuning.

The Over-Center Locking Advantage

If you've used a Shubb, you know the feeling. As you close the capo onto the neck, it passes through a point of resistance and then relaxes into a secure, locked position.

  • Truest Tone: Designed to provide just the right amount of pressure for a clean sound without stretching the strings out of tune.
  • Finger-Like Closing Action: The closing motion is just like your hand, pressing straight down to maintain perfect intonation.
  • Precision Machined: Every C2 is carefully hand-assembled and manufactured without compromise to ensure a sense of quality you can feel.

Innovative & Traditional Design

The Shubb C2 combines a traditional look with modern mechanical upgrades for ultimately smooth operation.

  • Flat Profile: Specifically designed for the flat radius of a classical guitar fretboard (2.25" width).
  • Set and Forget: The adjustable screw allows you to calibrate the tension once, ensuring consistent performance every time you snap it on.
  • Nickel Finish: A polished nickel finish provides a classic, professional aesthetic that looks great on any instrument.

A Legacy of Excellence

From its origins in California in 1974, the Shubb Capo Company has been driven by a spirit of innovation. What started as a quest for a better banjo capo evolved into the world's most respected guitar capo. The C2 remains a flagship of this legacy, offering the refined geometry and ergonomics that professional players demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Shubb C2 better for intonation?
Most capos pull strings to the side or apply too much pressure, causing the guitar to go sharp. The Shubb uses soft, resilient rubber and a lever action that mimics the human finger, keeping the strings centered and in tune.

Will this fit a 7-string classical guitar?
The C2 is 2.25" wide. While it fits standard 6-string classical guitars perfectly, you should measure your 7-string nut width; if it exceeds 57mm at the capoing point, you may need a wide-profile model.

How do I adjust the pressure?
There is a small thumb screw on the back of the capo. Adjust this until the capo locks firmly but easily. Once set, you won't need to touch it again for that specific guitar.
