Product Overview
The Shubb C8B is designed to skip the 6th string, low E, and cover the other 5 strings, emulating a drop-D tuning. Applied from above the neck, from the bass side, it cleanly skips the bass string and centers solidly on the neck while capoing the other five strings. While it is possible to accomplish the same thing on many necks using one of our regular capos, they need to be applied from the treble side, off-center to avoid the bass string. Many users prefer to apply the capo from the bass side. This capo is designed to be applied from the bass side, with a step built in to skip over the bass E string, and it centers properly for improved stability.
Whenever you change something there will be those who prefer the original. In 2013, Shubb upgraded their C-series, nickel plated capos to include the deluxe roller design. But for those who may prefer a retro version, Shubb has kept the plain brass capo in its original design. The Shubb plain brass capos are uncoated, so they will darken with time. Many fans of brass prefer this look, especially for use on vintage instruments.
Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which all others must be measured. Its patented locking action provides an unrivalled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place… and removes it just as quickly.
Precisely machined and carefully hand assembled, a Shubb capo is manufactured without compromise. Simply holding one in your hand conveys a sense of quality. Snapping it solidly onto a guitar neck and playing without having to retune, confirms its reputation for excellence.
When the Shubb Capo was introduced about 40 years ago, guitarists throughout the world fell in love with it. They’re still in love with it today. Capos continue to come and go, but the fact remains: for the guitarist who is serious about quality and intonation, nothing but a Shubb will do.
