Dunlop 741 Elastic Capo/Slide Converter

JIM DUNLOP

Based on 30 reviews Check latest price

Product description

In addition to its use as a standard capo, its innovative design also allows you to raise your guitar's string action so you can play buzz free with a slide. Now, you don't need a guitar dedicated to slide playing, simply slip on the Capo/Slide Converter and pick up your slide and let any guitar sing.

  • Raises string height to allow buzz-free sliding
  • Convert any guitar for slide playing
  • Also works as a standard capo
  • Can be used with steel bar, glass, or metal slide
  • Turns any acoustic or electric guitar into a slide or steel guitar instantly. Can be used in standing (solid body electric) or...Can be used in a sitting position (lap steel, resonator guitar, converted regular acoustic)

User questions & answers

Question: How high does it raise the strings
Answer: It rises the strings by a little less than a quarter of an inch, high enough to play slide with a bar without problem.
Question: Can I tune to open G using this converter
Answer: No, you cannot. In converting from regular to open G tuning you tune down one full step/tone strings 1 (from E to D), 5 (from A to G), and 6 (from E to D), while strings 2, 3 and 4 remain unchanged. It works/is like a regular capo.
Question: Can i use this as a dobro capo
Answer: I don't see why you can't, unless the action is so high that it won't work. To work best, the dobro should have frets.
Question: Will this work with a grover nut extender
Answer: I didn't know about the Grover Nut Extender. I just looked it up. It appears to me that these are intended to serve the same function. So, I'm going to buy and try the Grover Nut Extender to see if I like it better. This Dunlop device leaves the strings a bit too high for my taste. Chording is very challenging and messes up intonation.
