Kyser Quick Change Capo Acoustic BK

I originally got one of these when I was starting guitar 10 years ago. I still have the original but need a second one. It has never failed me or done me wrong. I always prefer it over any other capo somebody can hand me.

Pros:
The spring is tight forever. It will never damage your guitar. It's quicker and easier than a screw on capo.

Cons:
If you don't like the size or you can't grip very well then this might not be up your alley.

For use with acoustic guitar this capo works very well. The strings stay close to remaining in tune when fitted.It's quick to place on the guitar. I have found there is a weakness in the spring and after time I found that the spring tends to break. This has happened more than once. handle with care.The price is acceptable.

The Kyser Quick Change KG6B E+Wetern is a solidly constructed Capo yet light enough not to cause too much obstruction when not in use, but clipped over the nut of your guitar.
The spring mechanism allows for quick noise free movement when changing position, the rubber protection on the back protects your fragile guitar neck from damage.

overall solidly constructed

durable sturdy and does the job perfectly

My capo of choice - only the reason I keep having to buy them is that the rubber padding which supports the neck of the guitar is forever falling off and getting lost. Im then left to wrap insulating tape around the metal piece which really reduces its accuracy.

The overall design is very good but it is really stiff and the clipping force i assume is very high and i'm afraid it might damage the guitar neck!

It is a nice. Bit bulky on the handle. It grips the strings very well and you don't have to fix the position really that much. But the handle is out front so it sometimes gets in the way.

I remember, a couple of years ago, watching David Rawlings pull one of these capos out of his pocket, mid-song, and attach it to his pre-war Epiphone, for the duration of his solo........ That is a quick change capo, I thought:-)

Quite well made, with a strong spring. Usual caveats apply, about checking tuning, after fitting the capo to your instrument.

I have always used the kyser quick change capo but I find the last few years I have bought them, the plastic piece on the short arm falls off after only a few times used
The back of the neck on my godin multiac is marked badly from it as I didn't notice it had fallen off.While I'm generally happy with this product I wish the would make that piece more stable.
