Shubb C1G Capo Royale for Steel String Guitar - Gold Titanium Finish

Since 1979, the Shubb Capo has been the definitive choice for guitarists who demand precision, speed, and reliability. The Shubb C1G Capo Royale takes this industry classic and elevates it with a stunning gold-toned titanium finish. Designed specifically for steel-string acoustic and electric guitars, the C1G offers the aesthetic of gold without the delicacy, providing a "workhorse" tool that is as beautiful as it is indestructible.

Angkor Music Performance Insight

The Shubb C1G is the gold standard for steel-string players. At Angkor Music, we highly recommend the Royale series for its unmatched toughness. Traditional gold plating is notorious for wearing thin and scratching easily, but Shubb's innovative titanium finish is incredibly durable—you can chuck it in your case or pocket repeatedly without fear of damage. Most importantly, the over-center locking mechanism mimics the natural pressure of your hand, maintaining your guitar's intonation and virtually eliminating the need to retune after clipping it on.

Elegance Meets "Workhorse" Toughness

Shubb developed the Capo Royale series to satisfy "gold fever" while maintaining the rugged standards professionals expect.

  • Stunning Gold-Toned Titanium: High-tech finish provides a high-shine aesthetic that won't chip, wear, or fade like traditional plating.
  • Signature Locking Mechanism: The quick lever action allows for lightning-fast application and removal with a simple flick of the wrist.
  • Precise Intonation: Unlike spring-loaded capos that can pull strings sharp, the Shubb applies adjustable, even pressure across the fretboard.

Designed for the Modern Guitarist

Whether you are playing a vintage acoustic or a modern electric, the C1G provides a flawless capoing experience.

  • Steel-String Optimization: Specifically radiused at 2" (51mm) to fit the curved fretboards of most steel-string acoustic and electric guitars.
  • Adjustable Tension: A simple thumb-screw allows you to dial in the perfect amount of pressure for your specific string gauge and action height.
  • Compact & Lightweight: Its sleek design doesn't get in the way of your fretting hand and won't add unnecessary weight to your guitar neck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the titanium finish really as durable as they say?
Yes. While standard gold plating is soft and delicate, the titanium finish on the Royale series is incredibly hard and scratch-resistant, designed for years of professional use.

Will this fit my electric guitar?
Yes. The C1G is designed for most steel-string guitars, including electrics. If you have a vintage-style Fender with a very round 7.25" radius, you may want to check the Shubb vintage-specific models, but for 90% of modern guitars, the C1G is perfect.

Does it come with a replacement rubber sleeve?
While Shubb rubber sleeves are built to last for many years, they are easily replaceable if they ever wear down, ensuring your capo remains a lifetime tool.
