Universal Capo for Fretted Instruments

The 5 Core CAPO AL SLV is a lightweight aluminium capo designed for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, ukulele, banjo, bass and mandolin. It clamps securely across six-string necks and narrower fretboards alike. The package includes six celluloid picks and a carry bag so everything stays together between sessions. Weighing just 1.2 oz, it adds negligible mass to the headstock.

Upgrade from Spring or Strap Capos

Players who currently use a basic spring clamp or elastic strap will notice faster one-hand repositioning and more even pressure distribution. The silicone padding removes the risk of finish scratches that metal jaws can leave. If you change keys several times per set, the quick-release action pays for itself in saved seconds.

Check Neck Profile and Fretboard Width

Verify that your instrument’s neck contour and fretboard radius allow the capo’s curved silicone pad to contact every string evenly. Very thick classical necks or ultra-narrow mandolin nuts may need a different radius. Ensure the 4 x 3 x 1 inch frame clears your headstock shape when clamped at the first fret.

Questions about this item

What neck width and profile does the 4 x 3 x 1 inch aluminum frame with silicone padding fit?

The capo fits acoustic, electric, classical, ukulele, banjo, bass and mandolin necks; its ergonomic design adapts to various neck shapes while the soft silicone pad prevents scratches.

How do I attach the capo one-handed and what is the common mistake?

Squeeze the spring-loaded handle to open the jaws, position it just behind the desired fret, then release evenly across all strings; the mistake is clamping at an angle, which causes buzzing.

When should I replace the silicone pad on this 1.2 oz capo?

Replace the pad when it shows permanent indentations, hardening or loss of grip that leads to buzzing or tuning instability; the aluminum frame itself does not wear out.
