• Rounded edges - softer to the touch
• Contoured lever - easier to use

 	
For years our most commonly requested combination of features has been "can I get the Shubb capo in 
black with the roller?" Well, now you can.

Machined of brass and plated in black chrome, this stunningly beautiful capo will be the
choice of anyone who prefers an elegant and inconspicuous look onstage or off. 
Perfect for instruments with black hardware or any dark finished instrument, and a must 
have for anyone who likes the stealth look!
 
Roller mechanism
The roller mechanism equalizes the dropoff across the full range of the capo.
Because the roller head adjusts upward on an arc (as opposed to a straight line) it moves inward toward 
the center curve of the middle piece of the capo as it is tightened - so it does not move further past 
center when it is set tighter. This maintains a relationship between the moving parts that results in the same, 
ideal amount of dropoff at any point within the capo's working range.
So you get the ideal amount of dropoff on a thin neck, on a thick neck, and all those in between... 
and on different parts of the same neck.

The FineTune is mechanically different from all our other capos. Being screw-operated, it can remain on the guitar 
(behind the nut) when not in use; a popular feature with bluegrass players.

'We have been making guitar capos for nearly forty years, utilizing our patented over-center locking principle.
Its action most closely resembles that of the human hand, and we are confident that it is the most accurate 
capo in the world. Many of the top players will use nothing but a Shubb.'

We have also been aware of some players who will always prefer a U-shaped, screw operated capo that can be 
stored behind the nut while not in use. For these players, we have now designed the Shubb Fine Tune Capo. 
It represents the highest quality of craftsmanship and materials, and offers a few unique 

- Its innovative adjusting knob makes it the most ergonomic screw-operated capo.
- The knob maintains a fixed relationship with the frame, for improved ease of use, and for 
  the lowest profile when stored behind the nut.
- The knob's six surfaces are numbered, providing a visual reference to more easily and accurately 
  reproduce your ideal pressure.
- Greater contact area between screw, frame, and knob ensures that the fit will never become 
  loose and sloppy.
- Specially developed rubber padding adds resilience to the capo’s closing action for finer control, 
  and being absolutely inert, it will not mark an instrument.
- Rubber bumpers and smoothly rounded edges protect the instrument.
- Improved jeweler’s style latch prevents accidental opening.
- Carefully machined to the closest thread tolerance.
- Highly polished stainless steel with attractive abalone inlay.
- All models have been thoroughly tested on many vintage instruments, including 30s, 40s, and 50s Martins, 
  30s Gibsons, and most of the popular contemporary instruments, to ensure the best fit and performance.

The FineTune Capo is not available through our conventional wholesale distribution network. It is available only 
at a few select retail stores and websites, and directly from us here online.

Replacement sleeves: our FineTune capos use a different sleeve than our other capos While one of our standard
replacement sleeves CAN be used on a FineTune capo, it is thicker-walled, and will slightly alter the closing action 
of the capo. Unless you are specifically seeking more padding and a softer feel when closing, we suggest that you 
use the replacement sleeve that is made for the FineTune capo.
