NO DO NOT GET A KYSER!!

get a shubb!!

kysers apply too much pressure. it makes the strings go sharp easily, and increases fretware.

shubbs have adjustable pressure.

Kysers are cheap capos. They work, but they do cause more wear.

a) Why did you even mention this if you did not buy it because he did
b) Who..fucking..cares.

For the record, I use a Kyser because I'm not capoed a lot and frankly don't care enough to pay more for a Shubb, but please don't spout stuff if you don't know what you're talking about.

A. because it shows it must not do that much wear if he uses it on his thousands of dollar guitars.
B. because many people on this board buy stuff because dave uses them.

thank you. have a nice day.

He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
