This is less of a review, and more of a warning: I purchased a Shubb C2K (black, with roller) capo for my Navarro flamenco guitar. I use Shubbs almost exclusively on my electrics and steel-sting acoustics and I've loved them for years, they're the best in the business for these instruments. HOWEVER: The Shubb C2k, which is the classical guitar version, has an incredibly hard time accomodating the neck on my flamenco, which is already quite thin by flamenco and certainly classical standards. The capo *can* function up to the 2nd fret (with the tightening screw loosened completely) but beyond that, it is immensely tight. As in, I feel if I use it any more, that the neck arm will indent the wood or mar the finish. This is at the 5th fret. I even tried removing the rubber stopper button from the outside of the neck arm which pads the backside of the clasp when it closes onto the arm.. That didn't do anything. I'm now in the market for a proper cejilla. I really thought, as a student of flamenco, that the ease of using a Shubb would make it a wise investment. I was sorely mistaken. Cejillas from here on out. Just a heads up. CH
