Kyser KG6SV Quick-Change Guitar Capo - Silver Vein

Some guitar accessories are purely practical. Others manage to do the practical job while looking like they've already spent twenty years travelling around in a battered flight case. The Kyser KG6SV Quick-Change Guitar Capo in Silver Vein lands very nicely in the second category.

Designed specifically for six-string guitar, the KG6SV uses Kyser's famous Quick-Change trigger mechanism, allowing you to fit, remove and reposition the capo using one hand. If the next song suddenly needs to move up two semitones because the singer has had an idea, you're ready before the drummer has finished complaining about it.

The spring-loaded design applies the pressure needed to fret all six strings cleanly, allowing you to transpose songs while continuing to use familiar open chord shapes. Position it close to the fret, release the handle and you're ready to play – no screws to adjust and no straps to thread around the neck.

Construction is classic Kyser. The Quick-Change is made from high-grade aircraft-grade aluminium, keeping it impressively strong without adding unnecessary weight to the guitar. Kyser also uses a durable polyester powder-coated finish, and the Silver Vein version gives the capo a distinctive textured metallic appearance that stands apart from the usual plain black hardware.

Protective contact surfaces sit between the capo and your instrument, while the compact design is shaped to stay out of the way of your fretting hand. When you're finished with it, simply clamp it onto the headstock until the next key change arrives.

Kyser manufactures its Quick-Change capos in its East Texas factory, with the company sourcing, manufacturing, assembling and packaging them in the USA. They're also backed by Kyser's Lifetime Guarantee against qualifying defects in materials and workmanship.

A capo is fundamentally a simple tool, and that's precisely the appeal here. Squeeze. Clamp. Change key. Carry on playing. The Silver Vein finish just makes the whole operation look considerably cooler.
