About the MODEL
We call it a 12-string capo, since many 12-string
guitars have wider than average fretboards. If your steel string
guitar has a wide fretboard, chances are that the
capos on this page are the right size and shape.
Can I use the model 3 for both my 12-string and my 6-string?
Yes. It'll be wider than it needs to be on your 6-string, but
it'll work fine.
fretboard radius
Almost every steel string guitar has a radiused fretboard. The
radius usually ranges from 9.5" to 16". While this may
sound like a wide range, it is almost impossible to perceive the
difference by eye. Our model 1 or model 3 will fit any of these steel string
guitar fretboards perfectly.
A few electrics, notably certain older Fenders and copies of
them, have a more extreme radius. This radius is about 7.25",
and the difference is visible. For these, we have the model
4.
Sometimes people think of their acoustic guitar fretboard as
"flat." If they are comparing their Martin to their
Telecaster, it may be flatter ...but chances are, it
is not flat. It is very unusual to find
a steel string guitar with a truly flat fretboard, but in those
rare cases -- perhaps custom instruments -- then our model 2 would
be the right choice.
