3.0 out of 5 stars Stiff but tough, January 13, 2008

This is a solidly constructed bit of kit. It doesn't feel like its going to break any time soon. I've used it on my electric and acoustic and it works very nicely on both. Good cushioning ensures no marks or scratches even if you're a little rough taking it off. On the down side, it is very stiff to open. I had hoped it would ease up with use but is still taking no prisoners. I often have difficulty getting it onto the guitar. I would not recommend this if you are buying for a child, elderly or not so strong in the hands. I would also not recommend it if you are planning to use your capo on stage- it can lead to some embarrasing pauses whilst you wrestle with it!

Works great on my Ovation acoustic/electric. As other reviewer's have said, you do have to squeeze it a little hard open it, but it's not really an issue. Most guitar players have well developed muscles in their left hand anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars 7 Months and still works great., April 3, 2007

I know most people would look at this and think for the price it can't be that great. But it does everything a capo should do and well. I've had no trouble with it coming apart, and if it does, I guarantee I will replace it with the exact same one. You absolutely cannot go wrong for the price.
