With more strings, you need more tension and a larger body than the original Kyser Quick-Change Capo. This capo is specifically designed for your 12-string guitar and is built to last. It is reliable and does just what it is designed to do - clearly raise the pitch of the 12-string guitar so you can play in a different key without retuning or changing fingering.

The beauty of the Kyser Quick-Change is in its simplicity. Kyser pioneered this design and although often imitated, it is never equaled. There is no substitute for a Kyser Quick-Change Capo.
