Product Description

The Planet Waves Dual-Action Capo. The product of an ongoing collaboration between famed product designer Ned Steinberger and D'Addario. The compound action reduces the force necessary to open and close the capo. It also eliminates side-pulling the strings out of tune, which is prevalent on other trigger-type capos. Aircraft-quality aluminum construction adds virtually no weight to the guitar's neck when in use and the capo can be clamped on the headstock when idle. Simply adjust the tactile micrometer tension control so there is just enough tension to eliminate string buzzing.

Planet Waves NS Dual Action Guitar Capo in Black Review

I've used a LOT of capos. They seem to fundamentally fall into two categories, each of which I define by their flaw. The first are capos that require two hands (or lots of time and finesse with one hand, if one-hand operation is even possible). The problem here is that I don't want to stand on stage (or even during practice by myself) messing with capos. The second group are capos that can be operated with one hand but press down WAY TOO HARD on the strings and make them go sharp. This isn't so bad if you're playing solo, but playing with a group, you'll be out of tune, and if you don't capo all the strings (I often leave the low E open), the open string(s) will be out of tune with the sharped, capo'd strings.

The Planet Waves Dual Action manages to solve both these problems. It's easy to squeeze and a real pleasure to use with one hand (much easier than the Dunlop or Kyser), and it doesn't press the strings down too hard. It's got a dial, in fact, that you can use to augment whatever amount of pressure you choose.

Perfection? Almost. It actually doesn't always press the strings down quite hard enough, even with the dial turned all the way up (though this is also still a problem even with the fanciest one-hand capos, like the G7th Performance Capo, which, frankly, I find is not so easy to operate with one hand). Frustrating, but it's an acceptable trade off.

It also has a rather sharp edge to it that can rub against your hand if you play in an unusual manner (as I do). I've filed it smooth, and now it's fine.

Still, it's about the best I've found in the capo world, and for that, and to balance out the ludicrous one-star rating below, I give it five stars.
