Ever try one of these capos?

They're really expensive, for capos, so I have to wonder...are they really dramatically better than "regular" capos, or is it all hype??? Just curious--not planning to buy one anytime soon.

Haven't tried it but it looks like it's just a bling fashion accessory to me.

I doubt they're several times better than a utilitarian one to justify the several times higher price.

The product pages don't have item descriptions exuding any passion for guitars or explaining their functional better qualities.

That said - it is a pretty cool gift if you know someone who uses a capo and you give them one plated in gold and covered in diamonds. Too gaudy for my personal tastes though.

My son bought me one of those for a birthday a while back. I do use it,but I don't believe it's any better than any other well known brand. It's a bling thing and that's ok,but I'd never have bought one for myself.

It's always been Shubb for Skub!

It looks like one of those Sleep pods out of Alien!

Mine says KYSER.

It looks kind if like an insect. Best thing since sliced bread.

I didn't realize there were so many choices before recently. And some really expensive ones! I can't remember what mine cost (probably about $15-$20), but I know both of them are D'Addario. They seem to work well enough for me. I have to be careful not to crank them down too tight, and they are definitely not quick change types. But I can't even change chords all that quick--I could never slip a capo very fast and keep in time.

Thanks for all the input.
