About This Item: Working with famed product designer Ned Steinberger, Planet Waves created the extraordinary Dual-Action Capo. Compound action reduces the force required to open and close the capo and eliminates the problem with most trigger-type capos: strings pulled out of tune from uneven side-to-side pressure.
Did you realize that the most popular clamp-on capo exerts 15 pounds of pressure on the strings of your fretboard? You are practically assured of pulling strings out of tune. Worse, some strings are pulled further out of tune than others, thanks to the uneven pressure across the fretboard. The Planet Waves capos, including the Dual Action Capo, with micrometer adjustment and even pressure across the fretboard, eliminate this problem.
Aircraft-quality aluminum construction adds virtually no weight to the guitar's neck when in use and the capo can be clamped on the headstock when idle. An easy-to-adjust tension control allows you to customize the tension for your guitar neck, to eliminate string buzzing and create repeatable, in-tune performance at every fret.
