collapse expand iconDescription

Dunlop's Trigger Curved Capo allows you to swiftly shift between keys without sacrificing tone or tuning. This innovative capo is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and padded to protect fretboards, embracing instruments with a firm yet gentle grip. The trigger mechanism provides a quick-release action, allowing players to make key changes on the fly.

Ergonomic Design Follows Your Fingerboard's Contour

The Trigger Curved Capo is contoured to match the curve of your guitar's fingerboard, eliminating buzzing while keeping strings firmly pressed. Its streamlined profile means you can perform bends and solos unimpeded. The capo's trigger opens and closes with a simple squeeze, locking securely in place until you're ready to change keys again.

Protective Padding Prevents Scratches

Special padding on the contact points of the Trigger Curved Capo shields lacquered finishes from damage. Your instrument remains pristine after repeated use and during transport between gigs or practice sessions. The capo's lightweight yet durable aluminum body provides a sturdy framework for the padding.

Simplifies Key Changes for 6- and 12-String Guitars

The Trigger Curved Capo's versatile design accommodates both 6 and 12-string guitars. Its adjustable tension ensures even pressure is applied across all strings for accurate intonation and a full, resonant tone in any key. Novices and professionals alike will appreciate the capo's user-friendly operation and high-performance results.

Roadworthy and Ready to Rock

Dunlop's Trigger Curved Capo is a roadworthy tool built to handle the rigors of touring and frequent stage use. Its rugged components provide reliable performance from the studio to clubs and concert venues. Serious guitarists trust Dunlop gear to help them sound their best during each performance.

the best capo

The Dunlop trigger capo is great! The way it looks, and the way it plays. The trigger capo is probably the best looking capo out there, beating the Kyser capo. Also you can change it really fast when you need it for a song. You can change it in a pause of song, where you reach over squeeze the handle, and put it to wherever you want. Its really fast action and easy.

Greta for 6 string not great for 12 string

If you're trying to use this on a 12 string it's takes a while to get it centered on the neck and it really never covers the entire neck properly. Either the high E or low E will sound muted. I went to guitar center looking to purchase the Kyser brand capo for 12 string but the Guitar center in Mesquite did not have it in stock. I bought the Dunlop because the package said it worked for both 12 and 6 string guitars. I should have just waited and ordered the Kyser on line.

    I use this on all my guitars, I also use other brands of capo's. It works well, but I'm and older guy and it's harder to open than other brand's.

  • If in need I'd buy again

    Which model is this 83c, 84f, 87, 88...Dunlop makes so many different versions based on acoustic, electric, classical. Be nice if GC put the actual model number in the description somewhere.
