Capo for acoustic and electric guitars

The 5 Core CAPO AL BLK is a spring-loaded aluminium capo designed for six-string acoustic and electric guitars, with compatibility extending to ukulele, banjo, bass and mandolin. Weighing 1.2 oz, it uses a low-profile frame and soft silicone padding to clamp the neck without marring the finish. One-hand operation lets players reposition the capo between songs without putting the instrument down.

Practical limits of the spring-clamp design

The fixed spring tension cannot be adjusted, so very thin or unusually thick necks may receive uneven pressure. Silicone pads protect the fretboard but add a small amount of height, which can affect action on instruments with very low string clearance. The alloy frame resists bending but is not intended for twelve-string guitars or instruments with radiused fretboards outside standard acoustic and electric profiles.

Check your instrument before ordering

Verify that the neck width at the nut falls within typical acoustic or electric dimensions so the capo arms can close fully. Confirm the fretboard radius is compatible with a flat silicone pad to avoid buzzing on the outer strings. Ensure there is enough space behind the nut for the low-profile body to sit without interfering with tuning pegs or string trees.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the aluminum model or a different material for my acoustic and electric guitars?

This CAPO AL BLK is made from aluminum alloy with silicone padding, weighs 1.2 oz, and fits acoustic, electric, classical guitars plus ukulele, banjo, and mandolin.

What does the 1.2 oz weight mean when I clamp it on my guitar neck?

At 1.2 oz the capo adds almost no mass, so it won't pull the neck out of balance or cause fatigue during long sets.

How does the spring mechanism affect tuning stability on a 6-string acoustic?

The strong spring applies even pressure across all six strings, eliminating buzz and keeping the guitar in tune when you move the capo between frets.
