The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Carbon fiber barrel combines rigidity with negligible weight addition to the headstock; reinforced clamp mechanism delivers consistent pressure across all string gauges without marring frets or finish; reduces tuning instability compared to heavier capos.
Fits standard and wide-neck steel strings; no special maintenance required beyond occasional cleaning. Works with all capo-friendly headstocks. Pair with quality strap locks for gigging confidence. Some players prefer testing neck feel before committing to the premium price point.
D'Addario's carbon construction eliminates the traditional capo compromise—holding power without dead weight. Worth the investment for players who gig frequently or record sessions where neck balance and consistent intonation matter.

Artist+ Carbon Capo
Adjustable Tension, Black
Building on our proven Artist Capo design, The D’Addario Artist+ Carbon Capo is enhanced with ultra-strong, lightweight carbon fiber construction. By combining the strength of metal with the reduced weight of carbon fiber, it’s highly durable but adds virtually no weight to the neck of your guitar. Patented trigger geometry reduces the force required to operate the capo while applying even tension across any neck profile. Paired with micrometer adjustment and direct horizontal pressure, it minimizes string pull and helps keep your guitar in tune. FlexFit™ pad technology automatically adapts to string gauge and fretboard radius, applying individualized pressure to each string for clean, buzz-free, in-tune performance at every fret. Designed for 6-string acoustic and electric guitars.
