The Shubb C3 is the go-to capo for 12-string players. Its 2-1/4" arm is designed specifically for the wider fretboard of a 12-string — acoustic or electric — though it works just as well on any steel-string guitar with a wide neck. The key feature is Shubb's patented over-center locking mechanism: one smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place, and releases it just as fast.
The C3 is machined from solid brass and finished in polished nickel. Its soft rubber pad is curved to follow a radiused fretboard, applying even pressure across all 12 strings without bending them over the frets. The closing action mirrors the motion of your fretting hand, so strings stay centered — which means no pulling out of tune and no need to retune after applying it. An innovative roller design keeps the action smooth and reduces wear over time.
