The silver MC-5 is a spring-clamp capo for acoustic guitar. Its curved squeeze handles open two padded contact surfaces, allowing you to position the capo across the strings just behind a fret. This listing includes one silver MC-5 capo; the guitar is not included.
A quick-release capo for acoustic guitar practice
A capo lets you raise the pitch of open strings while using familiar chord shapes. Use the squeeze handles to open the clamp, move it to your chosen fret and release it into position. This is useful when practicing a song in a different key or finding a comfortable vocal range. Check your tuning after each move and listen to each string before playing the full chord.
Silver body with padded contact surfaces
The MC-5 has a silver-colored body, a round pivot and black pads on the upper and lower contact areas. Its upper jaw measures approximately 5.7 cm along the illustrated edge. This measurement describes the jaw, rather than the overall capo length or maximum opening. Compare the jaw and contact shape with your guitar neck so the pad covers the strings evenly.
How to position your MC-5 capo
Place the capo close behind the chosen fret, keeping it parallel with the fret wire. Release the handles gradually, then sound each string individually. If a string buzzes or sounds sharp, reposition the capo and check tuning again. Remove it after playing and keep its contact pads free of dust. This page offers the MC-5 acoustic model in silver.
- Squeeze the two handles to open the clamp.
- Place the upper pad across the strings just behind the chosen fret.
- Release the handles gradually and check the lower pad sits on the neck.
