If you play a 12-string — or any steel-string with a wider-than-average fretboard — the Shubb S3 Deluxe is sized and shaped specifically for you. At 2.25" wide with a curved profile to match a radiused fretboard, it covers all your strings evenly without any guesswork.
The S3 is part of Shubb's Deluxe series, introduced in 1998 as an upgrade to their already well-regarded original capo. The body is made of solid stainless steel, which holds up to daily use without wearing or nicking over time. The roller mechanism improves on earlier designs by engaging in a track for precise alignment, making the open-and-close action noticeably smoother. The adjustable tension screw lets you dial in the right amount of pressure for your neck, and once it's set, Shubb's patented over-center locking mechanism reproduces that same tension every single time — no need to readjust between uses. The specially formulated rubber pad is soft enough to let strings move and resonate naturally, which means your guitar should stay in tune after you apply it.
