The Precision Capo's thumbscrew tension system puts exacting pressure control in the player's hands, and it works on six and seven-string guitars.
Ernie Ball’s Precision Capo is now shipping in Australia for players who are tired of buzz, tuning drift or fixed spring tension from standard trigger capos.

The thumbscrew is what sets the Precision Capo apart from standard models. Rather than snapping on with a fixed pressure, it lets you dial in exactly the right tension for the guitar, fret position and string gauge you’re working with. Too little and you get buzz; too much and you pull the strings sharp. The thumbscrew finds that middle ground quickly, and the ergonomic design means you can make adjustments mid-set without putting the guitar down.
Capo placement varies dramatically depending on whether you’re playing a vintage acoustic with higher action, a low-setup electric or a seven-string with a wider nut – a fixed spring tension that works on one will fight you on another. The Precision Capo adjusts to the instrument rather than the other way around.
Soft contoured pads protect the neck and finish from scratching or marking, and the low-profile body sits close enough to the headstock that your fretting hand stays clear. It’s built to fit six- and seven-string electric and acoustic guitars, covering most of what players use on stage or in the studio.
Available in black or bronze, the Precision Capo is available now. For local enquiries, head here.
