Original Shubb capo, plain brass. A natural for anyone who favors a retro look.
A few years ago we upgraded the original nickel plated Shubb capo, giving it the roller design, and a more
streamlined look and feel. But whenever you change something, some people will prefer the original. So for
those who still want the “classic” — the original Shubb capo as it has been for over 40 years — we are continuing
to make the ORIGINAL Shubb capo available in plain brass.
Plain, unplated brass will darken in time. For those of us who appreciate brass, we prefer this look; reminiscent
of an old microscope, or a piece of gear from a sailing ship. But if you like your brass to shine, it can be polished
with a cloth and most any commercial metal polish.
Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which all others must be measured. It is the first choice
often the only choice… of more than a million musicians worldwide. The serious guitarist will settle for no less.
