Ernie Ball Axis Guitar Capo, Black
Â
The Axis capo. The only capo with two separate radii: one for the standard electric/acoustic 6-string and the other shallower side for a 12-string or classical guitar. The medium weight spring puts a nice force across the strings keeping them in tune while being easy to squeeze on/off with one hand. Aside from its functionality the Axis capo looks great in this modern satin black finish and simple design!
What does the Axis capo do? At a glance:
- fits 6-string, 7-string, and 12-string electric and acoustic guitars
- fits Classical acoustic guitars
The capo is a fantastic invention and these little wonders can bring fantastic benefits to guitar playing. There are a wide variety of capos on the market each with their own benefits but also their quirks too. The Ernie Ball Axis capo helps solve a few of these. Firstly, it’s rare to see a capo that will fit both 6-string and 7-string width fretboards. In the past, you will have had to buy separate capos for different guitars. Possibly the most unique feature of the Axis capo is their ‘dual radius’ design which shapes nicely to the radius of your fingerboard ensuring even pressure distribution is applied across all your strings.
