D’Addario Guitar Capo – NS Tri Action - For 6-String Electric and Acoustic Guitars – Micrometer Tension Adjustment for Buzz-Free, In-Tune Performance - Single Hand Use – Integrated Pick Holder - Black Acoustic & Electric Tri Action Black
Overview
The D'Addario NS Tri-Action Capo is a precision capo designed for 6-string acoustic and electric guitars. Its patented Tri-Action mechanism reduces the effort required to open and close the capo while applying direct, horizontal pressure across the strings to minimize lateral string movement and the need to retune. A micrometer-style tension adjustment lets you dial in just enough pressure to prevent buzzing without choking tone, and the aircraft-grade aluminum body keeps weight low for live or studio use. Single-hand operation and an integrated pick holder add practical convenience for gigging players, session musicians, and serious hobbyists who want reliable, buzz-free capo performance across different neck profiles.
Key Features
- Patented Tri-Action mechanism: reduces opening force and keeps string pressure aligned horizontally to minimize lateral pull.
- Micrometer tension adjustment: fine-threaded screw lets you precisely control clamp pressure to eliminate buzz without deadening strings.
- Materials & build: aircraft-grade aluminum body with a high-density silicone/rubber contact pad for durability and fretboard protection; available in black or silver.
- Single-hand use with quick-release action: designed for fast placement and removal during performance.
- Integrated pick holder: built into the capo for on-board storage of one or two standard guitar picks.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Micrometer tension adjustment reduces string buzz and eliminates frequent retuning.
- Tri-Action design applies even horizontal pressure across varied neck profiles.
- Lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum construction is durable for touring and daily use.
- Single-hand operation speeds capo changes mid-song; integrated pick holder keeps picks handy.
- Soft rubber/silicone contact pad protects the fretboard and preserves tone.
Cons
- Not optimized for classical (nylon) or many 12-string guitars—may not clamp evenly on wider nuts.
