Truly universal- does all possible configurations on all guitars. Least
expensive. A must-have for exploring partial capo-ing. |
clumsier to operate than others, hard to move and to reach
over. Most "low-tech" looking. |

Fits most guitars, you can change configurations while playing!, no elastic
to wear out |
does not have enough clamping force for heavier strings, 12-string
etc. May fall off. Expensive. |

Very low-profile, easy to reach over & behind, very durable. Can form
Esus chord or A chord if flipped around. |
requires 2 hands to put on or move |
