Capo Question

[Taylor614]

I have a trigger capo that has rubber padding to protect the neck. It hasn't done anything to the guitars I have now, but I have a question. My Taylor 714 comes in on Friday. Should I be worried to use it on my new guitar? I'm p[robably just thinking too much.

Buy a Shubb capo. It kills the Keyser ones and you can adjust the tension depending on what fret you're on.

no you shouldnt be worried, a shubb is better, but a keyser will work just fine, its def the most common among amaterus and pros alike

Thanks for the help guys. I've been playin' YNK, Stay or Leave, etc. lately and was hopin' I would be able to play them on my new guitar without hurting the neck.

If you leave it on for long periods of time you do. But as long as you take if off after playing a song or a number of songs it should be fine no matter what capo you have. But shubb is much better.

you can hurt the strings and if left on for a week or so maybe the frets, but the neck? in what way?

The finish

[Taylor614]

Yeah, I just didn't want to hurt the finish on the neck. Sorry.

The finish

the finish? how the hell are you gonna hurt the finish? it can handle your dirty hands going up and down for hours a day, causing friction, but not a piece of rubber DESIGNED for the neck just sitting there?

[Coldchillin]

It's a lot of tension on one spot of the neck. It can damage it after prolonged use.

Not for a long time, it will definetly cause unneded stress on the wood if you just leave a capo (which since it's a Spring, is constantly pushing on the neck) for a week.
