I am dissapointed with this. It’s no better than the basic Kyser one ( half the price) I was using. I tried both, one after the other on the second fret and there’s no difference in tone or crispness of sound; and that’s after screwing the Taylor one hard as I can. I’m using a takamine G series 12 string. I bought the capo based of the Taylor brand name. It looks nice but I should have tried the Shubb, at half the price. It might have delivered an improvement
