A partial capo designed for guitarists who enjoy alternate tunings
The Shubb Original Partial Drop D is a guitar capo designed to replicate the logic of a Drop-D tuning while maintaining the playing feel of a standard tuned instrument. Its unique and highly effective feature is simple: it does not cover the low E string and caps the other five strings. This gives you an open bass string that allows access to heavier grooves, wider chords, and inspiring sounds without having to retune between songs.
Whether on stage or at home, this partial capo becomes a true creativity booster: riffs emphasizing the bass string, bass/chord alternations, droning, picking arrangements... all while maintaining quick setup. Thanks to its adjustable clamping system, you can adapt the pressure to the neck and string gauge to maintain comfort, grip, and intonation.
