Does the brand of capo matter?

Do capos ruin guitars?

In short, yes. Capos can be bad for guitars. They can increase the rate at which your guitar frets wear out and can also wear out the neck finish. However, with the right capo tension, you can reduce the risk of damage to the guitar.

How do you pick a good capo?

Make sure the capo is tight enough that all open strings ring clearly but not too tight so that the strings are pulled sharp. Choose a capo that mirrors the curvature and width of the fretboard. Some guitars have very curved fretboards and guitars such as 12-strings have very wide fretboards.

Is Wingo a good capo?

1. Wingo Guitar Capo. This guitar capo from Wingo earned our number one spot because it nails both function and fashion. It’s made of aircraft grade zinc alloy for durability (as many capos are) but finished with rosewood for a particularly handsome look.

Is metal or plastic capo better?

Metal capos are not expensive at all, and even cheap ones will break much later compared to plastic ones. They will also not lack in clamping force. So buying plastic capos are fine, but you will find a better value for your money.

Should I keep capo on guitar?

Do not leave the capo on the instrument when not playing it. The capo, when clamped on the neck, holds the strings down on the fretboard and creates extra tension on the neck and the top of the guitar. All acoustic guitars are destined, at some point in time, to have problems due to the tension of the strings.
