A Capo Designed for Lap Style Playing on Resonators
The Shubb C6B is aimed at dobro and resonator players seeking a reliable, stable, and musical capo capable of maintaining intonation without over-tightening. Its "Original" concept captures the spirit of the first Shubb models: efficiency, simplicity, and robustness, with a brass finish that exudes vintage charm. Note: this model is intended for a resonator/dobro neck set up for lap style playing and is not suitable for Weissenborn guitars, which generally have a neck that is too wide.
