Shubb Capos – Precision and Reliability Since 1974

The Shubb brand was founded in California in 1974, inspired by a passion for music and a desire to create a capo that would provide guitarists with perfect tone without detuning their instrument. Founders Rick Shubb and Dave Coontz combined their musical experience with engineering expertise, developing an innovative clamping mechanism that remains an industry standard today.

Shubb Capos quickly gained recognition among professional musicians worldwide thanks to their unique locking system and precise string tension adjustment. This eliminates the problem of note bending, ensuring clean tuning at any position on the fretboard.

Shubb offers models for acoustic, electric, classical, and 12-string guitars, as well as banjos, mandolins, and other stringed instruments. The company is renowned for its high-quality materials – from stainless steel to lightweight aluminum alloys – and for its attention to ergonomics and durability.

Today, Shubb is synonymous with precision, reliability, and comfortable playability. Regardless of musical style or instrument type, Shubb capos are the choice of both amateurs and world-class artists who demand perfection in every sound.
