Description

The Patented Elliott Guitar Capo is hand-crafted from stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. It features the exclusive quick release ‘push button’ locking top bar system which allows for easy on/off operation.

The Elliott Guitar Capo also utilizes a unique wrap around saddle design that cradles the neck of your instrument to keep the capo securely centered over the fret board. Padded with genuine leather, the saddle seat protects your instrument’s finish.
