Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Place the capo just behind the desired fret.
- Gently squeeze the capo's arms to open the clamp.
- Position it on the strings.
- Use the tension screw to tighten it until all strings are securely held without buzzing. Ensure it's snug but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress on the neck.
Compatibility:
This capo is specifically designed for 6-string guitars with radiused fretboards. It is generally compatible with most acoustic and electric guitars featuring this fretboard shape. It is not recommended for guitars with flat fretboards (e.g., some classical guitars or specific electric guitar models).
Care:
- Wipe the capo clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and fingerprints.
- Periodically check the rubber protective pads for wear and tear; replace if damaged to prevent potential damage to your guitar.
- Store in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
