Kyser KG6CV Quick-Change Guitar Capo - Copper Vein

A capo doesn't particularly care whether your six-string has a soundhole, a pair of humbuckers or enough distortion pedals attached to it to interfere with local radio communications. The Kyser KG6CV Quick-Change Guitar Capo in Copper Vein is made for six-string guitars, giving acoustic and electric players alike a quick, dependable way to change key without changing the chord shapes beneath their fingers.

The beauty of Kyser's Quick-Change design is right there in the name. Its spring-loaded trigger mechanism allows you to fit, remove and reposition the capo with one hand, which is extremely handy when you're moving between songs, experimenting with different keys while writing or making a last-second adjustment on stage.

Clamp it behind the required fret and the KG6CV applies pressure across the strings, effectively moving the guitar's nut further up the neck. You can then keep using familiar open-position chord shapes while playing in a higher key – one of the simplest tricks in the guitarist's toolbox, and one you'll find everywhere from singer-songwriter sets and trad sessions to rock gigs and studio work.

Kyser builds its Quick-Change capos from lightweight aluminium, giving you a strong piece of hardware without hanging unnecessary weight from the neck. Protective material at the contact points helps keep the capo friendly to the guitar, while its compact shape means it can simply be clipped onto the headstock when you're not using it.

Then there's the Copper Vein finish. Rather than the usual plain black or silver, this one has a textured, dark metallic copper appearance that gives the capo a slightly aged, industrial character. Tasteful enough for the acoustic sitting room. Cool enough for the electric guitar hanging beside the enormous pedalboard.

Made in the USA and backed by Kyser's Lifetime Guarantee against qualifying manufacturing defects, the KG6CV is a simple bit of guitar hardware designed to survive years of key changes.

Acoustic, electric – doesn't matter. Six strings, suitable neck profile, clamp it on and away you go.
