I bought this capo for my 12 string Seagull and it is difficult at best to get this work. It doesn't have enough tension to hold down all the strings and often either pulls them out of tune or the strings don't play. The closer you get to the headstock the worse it is. Not once have I ever been able to get it to work on the first fret, second fret is maddening, 3rd fret is slightly less maddening, fourth fret, hit or miss, and so on, it only gets marginally better as you move up the neck but what's the point of a Capo if you can't use it anywhere on the neck that you need to.

I have a Keyser capo for my 6 string Washburn and it works beautifully, I just think they don't put enough tension on their "12 string" capos to be be effective. So I'm off to find a new better capo for my 12 string. If you are Seagull 12 string owner don't waste your time, energy or money on this capo you will only end up poorer, and more frustrated.

This capo holds the strings down on my Ibanez 12 string very well on any fret I've tried. You can easily move it to another position in a few seconds. I've had it for over a year, and have seen no signs of wear after frequent use. It still seems to have as much tension as when I got it.

This capo works perfectly with my 12-string guitar. It is easy to use and actually presses down all of the strings, allowing me to capo where I never could before!

The capo works very well on frets 2-9 on my guitar. (12 string acoustic) It isn't tight enough to hold down the strings on the 1st fret, and it doesn't work on the 10th because the shape of my guitar neck changes there where it meets the body. Highs are wide width and ease of use. Low is that it doesn't cover the first fret. Overall, its good and you might be able to use it on 6 string guitars although it doesn't work on my electric because its too tight and the strings' pitch is distorted.

Item is exactly what I was looking for. Super fast shipping and well packaged. Highly recommend seller.
