Thread Name: Worn Capo-Repair?
Subject: RE: Worn Capo-Repair?
I've found that the Kyser's effectiveness depends on the depth of the neck, as well as the strength of the spring and the placement of the capo. The deeper the neck the wider the capo has to open, and this seemingly increases the pressure. If this is just imaginary, so be it, but it sure seems to be the way it works on guitars around here. As has been mentioned, good set-up is vital.
Is there someone with a knowledge of springs who would comment? Do they actually increase pressure the wider they're stretched.
Peace, Mooh.
