About this listing
Inconsistent string tension and persistent retuning issues are common headaches for performing guitarists when using a capo. The Shubb Lite L1 Capo solves this by combining Shubb's renowned over-centre locking mechanism with an ultra-lightweight aerospace aluminium construction, offering acoustic and electric players a precise, low-profile capo that preserves natural pitch and neck balance.Weighing less than half of a standard brass Shubb capo, the L1 is engineered for players who prefer an unencumbered feel on the neck without sacrificing clamping accuracy or tuning stability. Aerospace Aluminium Lightweight Design Crafted from durable, high-grade aerospace aluminium, the Shubb Lite L1 weighs under 30 grams. This featherweight construction ensures that adding a capo to your neck does not throw off the instrument's overall physical balance or feel top-heavy during live performances. Despite its lightweight frame, the aluminium structure offers structural rigidity, ensuring long-term durability for gigging musicians and touring players. Patented Over-Centre Locking Roller Mechanism The hallmark of Shubb capos is their patented over-centre clamping action, which provides unparalleled leverage and smooth operation. The L1 features an integrated roller design that reduces wear on the mechanism, allowing the lever to open and close effortlessly against the back of the neck. This system ensures repeatable pressure every time you apply it, preventing string buzzing while avoiding excessive clamping force that pulls strings out of tune. Custom-Formulated Rubber Cushion To mirror the natural dampening and feel of a human fingertip, the L1 incorporates a specially formulated resilient rubber sleeve across the top bar. This soft rubber conforms around each string individually rather than flattening them straight down onto the fret wire. This prevents lateral string stretching, preserving accurate intonation across all six strings so you can clamp on and play immediately without constant retuning. Adjustable Tension Screw for Tailored Fit Equipped with an adjustable knurled pressure screw, the Shubb L1 lets you fine-tune the clamping tension to match the exact neck profile and action of your guitar. Whether you are fitting it to a thin electric neck or a chunkier acoustic profile, setting the tension once allows you to apply and remove the capo smoothly without resetting your preferences each time.
