D'Addario NS Capo Lite

As a guitarist and teacher, I have gone through so many capos in the past. From the very expensive to the really cheap. I have always been a massive fan of Planet Waves and have appreciated their constant drive to find solutions for guitarists in all areas of playing. This is very evident here too, I am delighted to say. The capo fits comfortably, securely and evenly across all strings. It instills a confidence that you need when moving it in all positions on the guitar. By turning the screw/knob to a finger tight pressure it will apply just the required force onto the fret and strings with causing stress to the neck. The additional fact that it is very lightweight and robust came as a pleasant surprise to me. i was so impressed with the quality at the price, that I made it my first recommendation to all students, and bought myself spares for every guitar I own. Strongly recommend!!

I am a novice guitarist and have never used a capo before. However, I did a lot of research before buying this item. I eliminated other types after studying reviews and I am more than pleased with my choice. It is small, light, simple and very easy to use. I have not experienced any buzzing and the guitar remains in perfect tune. The device is kind to the finish of the guitar and will not damage it even with frequent use. Not only is this capo a well made and excellent product but it is also very inexpensive. I highly recommend it.

Adjustable, light and sturdy. For the price an excellent capo for acoustic or electric guitar. Works on my ukulele and probably other string instruments too.

I purchased the NS Capo Lite at the beginning of 2012 - it's now January 2016 and the capo is still working perfectly. I have several guitars and a couple of ukuleles and this capo fits them all - from the skinny neck of my soprano uke to the fat wide neck of my full size classical guitar. I much prefer the tightening method of the NS Lite compared to sprung capos some of which have such strong springs they damage fretboard by pressing the larger wound strings into the wood. The screw tensioner of this capo allows you to set just enough force to make the strings ring true without clamping down on them like a rottweiler. It's also easy to move the capo from one fret to another using one hand - simply loosen the screw a little, reposition and tighten. Highly recommended.

Was great and clamped my 12 string on 7th fret then it snapped. The plastic in my opinion is too weak for the 12string guiatr

I have two types of these capos. They work very well, do not get in the way and do not add any appreciable weight. I have one for 12 string (more expensive pro lite) and it works perfectly. This version is for a 3/4 size classical with a slight fingerboard radius (Fender ESC80) and is perfect for the job. Provided you are not over zealous tightening the adjustment wheel it should not break. Just position the capo just behind the required fret and finger tighten until none of the strings buzz. If you over tighten you will push the tuning sharp and also risk breaking the adjustment screw.

This is the 4th capo I've tried and at last I've found one that works in any scenario. I've found that the strap on types are either too tight or too loose depending on which fret you are on, and you need two hands to do them up. The trigger types seem to sometimes not quite clamp some of the strings tightly enough, and gets in the way of your hand when on the 1st fret after it. This capo can be fitted with one hand and tightened to exactly the right pressure for any fret. It's also pretty good in terms of interfering with you hand. The quality is great - the micrometer type adjusting knob gives you one of those satisfying feelings of quality when you use it. Great product and great price.

This capo is ok for some guitars and not too good for some others depending on the neck radius. Very lightweight but feels a little flimsy. The screw feels like it might break at any time. Slightly overpriced considering you can get a different branded metal one for the same price if you shop around. So, not the best capo out there, which is a shame seeing as D'Addario have got their name slapped on it.

When the item first arrived I removed it from the packaging and immediately grabbed my guitar. In all honesty -- despite it being a "lite" capo the item seemed far too small, and far too brittle feeling. My expectations sank as I inspected it and I started pondering whether I should have just dropped the ~$10.00 on another cheap spring clamp model. Concerns washed away quickly after it was applied and I noodled around on a few songs. Looks can be deceiving, it works great. PROS: + Lightweight, holds very firm considering the price and lack of mass + Simple to apply and I find the twist mechanism superior to clamp-style + Distribution of pressure across the fretboard seems very even, coming from a spring clamp capo which needed to be moved around a lot, this is nice + Thin (lengthwise across the playable area of fretboard), doesn't take much space allowing more room for cramped chords butted up against the barred fret you have it applied to. CONS: [will update when I find a gripe worth mentioning] MISC: * "Mighty Mouse" would be a suitable product name for this due to its diminuitive form and strong performance First impressions went from good (reviews), to bad (taking item out of packaging), and back to good (using it). How it holds up, especially the strength of the clamp, is what I'm interested to see over time. Will update as necessary.

This is great! Not as fast as clipping on but you don't get the buzz like others can. Slides on well and stays on place even if you decide to really go hard! You can thrash it and you never have to fret, it's there for you like your uncle ken when you need a babysitter

Great capo! Easy to adjust and move just as quick as the traditional spring kind. Adjustable tension. Works great and the guitar stays in tune.
