Description

Edit description

Elevate your playing experience with the Shubb F1 FineTune Capo, a must-have accessory for any steel-string guitarist. This innovative yoke-style capo is designed to offer unparalleled speed, control, and versatility, making it a top choice for both bluegrass aficionados and casual strummers alike.

Crafted from premium stainless steel, the Shubb F1 is built to withstand the rigors of time while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. The capo’s rubber padding acts like a fingertip, applying just the right amount of pressure to your strings without leaving a mark, making it suitable even for vintage and high-value instruments. A standout feature is the numbered 6-sided adjustment knob, adorned with an abalone inlay, which allows players to easily replicate their preferred string pressure for consistent performance.

The Shubb F1 FineTune Capo is more than just a tool—it's a testament to superior craftsmanship and intelligent design, ensuring a smooth, buzz-free playing experience. Whether you're gearing up for a gig or a jam session, this capo promises to deliver precision and quality every time.

Molly has always used Shubb capos, on the Shubb website she is mentioned and has a statement about them. This picture is from Molly’s Facebook page. From the shubb website:

“Ever since I started playing guitar I have used Shubb capos. I’ve tried many other kinds of capos but always come back to Shubb because they’re designed so well, they’re really easy to use, and I don’t have to worry about my guitar going out of tune when I put one on. I would highly recommend the Shubb Fine Tune capo, not only because it’s easily adjustable and keeps the guitar sounding great and in tune, but also, if you’re like me, a capo that stays on the guitar is a huge plus because you won’t lose it! I’m proud to endorse Shubb capos and look forward to using them for years and years.” – Molly Tuttle
