{"product_id":"martin-guitar-capo","title":"Martin Guitar Capo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis was the product that got it all started for us back in 1974, and to this day it’s STILL the only fifth string capo worth putting on a banjo. It operates on a lever principle, not a spring, so it provides sufficient pressure to fret the string without muting the tone. It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar that mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegular length bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(5.75″ with two point mount) \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eor Long bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(8″ with three point mount)?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, our fifth string capo bar was eight inches long, and attached to the banjo neck with three mounting screws. A few years ago we remodeled the bar, a change which I’d long considered. I personally never capo the fifth string any higher than the tenth fret (this would go along with the regular capo being at the fifth fret). So for my own banjo, I made a custom bar which was much shorter (5.75″). This shorter bar is now our standard size. Besides taking up less space on the neck (for you fellow thumb-wrappers), it offers the additional advantage of using only TWO mounting screws instead of three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to be able to capo your 5th string all the way up to the thirteenth fret, the original eight inch, three-screw bar is still available. The price is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C.F.
