A capo designed to play in tune without effort
The NS Capo Pro Black by Planet Waves was created to address a well-known issue: many capos clamp "too tightly," pulling on the strings and forcing retuning. Here, you precisely adjust the necessary tension to cleanly fret the open strings without excessive pressure on the neck. The result: better intonation, less buzzing, and significantly improved tuning stability, regardless of the capo's position on the fretboard.
Its slim profile and high-quality aluminum construction make it a discreet accessory ready to withstand aggressive playing as well as intensive touring. Born from an ongoing collaboration between designer Ned Steinberger, Jim D'Addario, and Planet Waves, this capo is aimed at guitarists who want precise control, quick mounting, and a clean sound across the entire fretboard.

Surprising by the small size. Light and discreet Excellent in use and optimal string holding without causing the guitar to disagree. Installation just as fast as with a clamp without the risk of poor positioning (more precise)

Fast delivery (2 days). One remark, however: I already have 3 CP 02 and 1 CP07 and they are much larger. Is it a new model and is it also solid?

The capo that I prefer. I have not tried the same plastic one, but compared to others I find it practical, fast, effective and I am not afraid of damaging my guitars.
