The
FineTune is mechanically different from all Shubb’s other capos. Being
screw-operated, it can remain on the guitar (behind the nut) when not in use; a
popular feature with bluegrass players.
Shubb has been making guitar
capos for nearly forty years, utilizing their 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.
They 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, shubb has now designed the Shubb Fine Tune Capo. It
represents the highest quality of craftsmanship and materials, and offers a few
unique features not seen before.
• 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.
This model is for slightly wider necks; its opening is 2 3/16″ wide.
