Kyser Musical Products Short-Cut Partial Guitar Capo, KG3BA, Black - Three String Capos, DADGAD Tuning, Made in USA, Quality, Strong, Lightweight, Quick & Easy Key Changes, Innovative, Perfect Fit

Had to modify it with my Dremel to fit my 12 string guitar with a 1-7/8" nut width. The neck is so wide that the capo would not go on far enough to catch the G string. Now it does. It was a good fit on my 6 string guitars, but I bought it for my 12 string. If you nut width is 1-3/4" or less, it will work fine with no modification. I anticipated this mod before I ordered it, so not a problem for me. It works great.

Nice capo to hold down one string when you have limited use of your fingers .

Indispensable "guitarist's tool" for quick DADGAD tuning without having to tune down from and back up to standard tuning. Makes songs you've gotten used to playing in D take on a whole new feel, plus it's cool just to fingerpick around and experiment. I first saw this being used by Cletus Kennelly at a gig in Alexandria VA and asked him afterward what the heck it was; glad I took his advice to try it out and I'm passing that suggestion along if you haven't used one yet.

I use the short cut capo with a full capo (2 frets apart). Been doing it for years.... I love Kysers as the are quick and they work well... The secret to placing capis in keep the tuning accurate is to place the capo as close to the fret as possible. I've have about 4 sets of them and use them quite often

Loved this cut capo. Easy to change on he neck with one hand. Pressure is applied just right to get great tone and the chords you want. I ha e three of these and use them all the time.

I'm 54 years of age...that age when most guitar players reminisce about playing in bands when they were much younger. Like many, perhaps an acoustic guitar close at hand to plunk on. I played rock, blues...was a frontman in the big hair 80's era. After watching a number of Antoine Dufour and Andy McKee videos of their phenomenal modern acoustic folk instrumental play and buying their music, becoming essentially a fan...I had to buy my first of several short capos. Seeing Antoine finger tap, play above the capo...well all quite amazing. I bought one of these short capos, then two...and now play as many as 3 capos at a time to create intriguing alternative tunings. The fingerstyle or strum/flat picking becomes so intuitive, and I've enjoyed many a good night now entertaining friends at dinners and get togethers. I don't need to play established songs but your ear hears variations easily and those that have some ability to make up songs on the spot will go nuts playing these capos. It seriously makes you a much better player in everyone's mind. I have played out publically again and produced a number of CD's of my own. It is like experiencing a rebirthing on the guitar and only wished I would have had something like the Kyser short capo about 25 years ago! No matter where I play out publically folks are quite taken by the sound, which strikes you as though nearly two guitar players were playing. Has real presence. Guitar players can't help but come out of the wood work to approach near and watch, and are immediately taken in and ask..."where the heck do you get one of those?" I would recommend David Wilcox's "The Partial Capo" book to help you discover the chord possibilites...the basics, tricks and so forth. I was and still am a long time electric guitar player, fan, lovin' the blues especially...but have rediscovered the acoustic guitar over the past three years or so. Don't hesitate to buy one of these and don't be surprised not to see regular music stores not carry them as they operate by supply and demand, and folks don't know what they are...but I know without a doubt that if I set up in a music store and just played freely the store would order a bunch of 'em and always have them on hand! Get one! Get two!

This cut capo makes playing in the equivalent of DADGAD capoed up the neck very easy. For example, I play a song in the equivalent of DADGAD with the capo on the third fret by using a standard capo on the first fret and the cut capo on the third fret in std tuning. It works perfectly without any re-tuning. This is a sturdy capo, like a normal Kyser capo. I am very glad I have this in my gig bag.

Kyser capos work very well and the different ones are well designed for their respective applications. I have three: 1) 12 string acoustic, 2) normal six string, 3) partial. You can get them in different colors for easy, quick identification. I've had the six string for 20 years and it still works great.

The Kyser short-cut capo is very good. Well made and easy to use . Certainly opens up a new world in terms of tuning variations. Very happy with it.

buena calidad y buen acabado, esperemos que dure mucho. Da mucho juego a la hora de afinar y tocar cosas nuevas

This is a great little gadget, instantly provides open tuning scenarios which means it's great fun, you just can't play a wrong note (actually you can but it's less likely) Great for song writing and thrashing out ideas for songs. use it in combination with a standard Capo and the whole thing just gets to be more fun. None players are able to quickly start making a good sound which is a great way to encourage them on to more complex playing. Buy one!!!

Super capo, donne juste le goût de composer des chansons! Recommande vraiment pour guitaristes intermédiaire et plus. Qualité prix excellent.
