If you play a 12-string — or any steel-string guitar with a wider-than-average neck — getting the right capo matters. A standard-width capo just won't cover all the strings cleanly. The Shubb C3N is built specifically for that job: it's 2.25" wide and curved to seat properly across a radiused fretboard, so every string gets even, consistent pressure.
The C3N is part of Shubb's Standard Series and is machined from solid brass with a brushed nickel finish. It uses Shubb's patented over-center locking mechanism — one flip of the lever locks the capo in place, and another flip releases it. The soft, resilient rubber pad is engineered to work like a fingertip, applying pressure evenly without pulling the strings off-center. That means you typically won't need to retune after clamping it on. An integrated roller design further reduces friction during the closing motion, which helps with both smooth operation and long-term wear. The brushed nickel finish gives it a satin, low-gloss look that suits a wide range of guitar hardware styles.
