Significant Improvements as compared to version 1

I've owned both editions. Improvements has been made to reduce the weight of the capo. Profile is slimmer as compared to version 1. The mechanism has been updated where it is now possible to attach/release this capo with 1 hand (version 1 requires both hands).

The only downside is that I get intonation issues (sharp on E and B string) on both acoustic and electric guitar.

If it's good enough for Eric Clapton...

I was faithful to Dunlop capos for far too long... lifetime warranty with this one, which I never hope to have to use, and really hope I don't leave it anywhere!

Expensive, but well worth it, based on ease of application, and doesn't knock any strings out of tune!

Can sometimes be hard to apply, especially when nervous on stage!
