Full details
The Fender Dragon Guitar Capo in Black is designed for 6-string guitarists seeking a durable, lightweight, and easy-to-use capo for quick pitch changes. Its primary benefit is effortless adjustment and secure tensioning, even during play, while protecting your guitar's finish.

FAQs
Is the Fender Dragon Capo suitable for 7-string guitars?
No, this capo is specifically designed for 6-string guitars with radiused fretboards. Its width and tensioning mechanism are calibrated for six strings.
Can I use this capo on a classical guitar?
This capo is designed for radiused fretboards, common on steel-string acoustic and most electric guitars. Classical guitars typically have flat fretboards, and this capo may not fit or function correctly on them.
How do I clean the rubber pads?
Gently wipe the rubber pads with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the rubber.
What is the warranty period for this capo?
Warranty information typically varies. Please refer to the official Fender product documentation or contact Fender customer support for details on the warranty specific to this model.
Does the black finish wear off over time?
The finish is designed for durability. With normal use and care, the black finish should remain intact. Excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning could potentially affect the finish.
Can the tension screw be replaced if lost or broken?
Replacement parts are typically not offered individually for capos. If the tension screw is damaged, you may need to consider replacing the entire capo.
Troubleshooting
Strings buzz after applying capo
Ensure the capo is positioned directly behind the fret. Tighten the tension screw slightly more. Check that all strings are being pressed down firmly by the capo's rubber pads.
Capo slips off during playing
Increase the tension by tightening the screw. Ensure the capo is evenly seated on the strings and neck. Verify that the fretboard radius matches the capo's design.
Capo leaves marks on guitar finish
Ensure the rubber protective pads are clean and free of debris. Do not overtighten the capo. If marks persist, the pads may need replacement or the capo is incompatible with your guitar's finish.
Difficulty adjusting capo with thumb
Ensure your thumb is gripping the screw head properly. Practice the adjustment motion. If the screw feels stiff, check for any obstructions or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Place the capo just behind the desired fret.

Compatibility:
