The Shubb C3B is the Original series capo built specifically for 12-string guitars — or any steel-string guitar with a wider-than-usual neck. At 2-1/4" wide and slightly curved, it's sized to cover all twelve strings evenly without the awkward fit you get from a standard 6-string capo.
What sets Shubb capos apart is how they handle string contact. The custom soft rubber pad is designed to behave like a fingertip — it lets each string settle in naturally rather than pressing down hard across the fret. The result is that the strings don't get pulled sideways or stretched sharp, so you don't need to retune after putting it on. The locking lever action is the other piece: one flip snaps it securely into place, and one flip removes it. The tension is adjustable with a screw, so once you dial it in for your guitar, it's the same every time. This C3B comes in unplated brass, which will develop a natural patina over time — a look that a lot of players appreciate on a well-traveled instrument.
