KG6B Quick-Change Acoustic Guitar Capo - Black

Note

Milton Kyser patented the trigger-style Quick-Change capo in 1978 and the company was incorporated in Texas in 1980; it is still hand-built in the USA. The spring-loaded aluminium design fits or moves in one hand, and Kyser now offers electric, classical, 12-string and partial variants at the same price.
