The D'Addario NS Tri-Action Capo (PW-CP-09) is a guitar capo designed for 6-string acoustic and electric guitars with radiused fingerboards. It's part of the NS Series — a collaboration between famed product designer Ned Steinberger and Jim D'Addario — and the design shows in the details.
Where most capos make you choose between quick operation or dialed-in tension, the Tri-Action gives you both. The patented Tri-Action geometry reduces the force needed to open and close the capo and applies even tension across all strings regardless of neck profile. A micrometer adjustment lets you fine-tune clamping pressure so you get clear, ringing notes at any fret without over-clamping. The result: minimal lateral string pull and less need to retune every time you move it.
The body is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum — light enough that it adds essentially no weight to the neck, durable enough to handle regular use. When you're not using it, the capo clips right to the headstock so it's always within reach. There's also a built-in pick holder, a handy touch when you're switching between fingerstyle and picking mid-set.
