Many years ago, I bought a capo called a Fretspanner. If you aren't familiar with them, they are wide. In fact, it is wide enough to cover the fretboard, while spanning the entire distance between the first and second fret. It contacts the strings at 2 points and that is real reason I bought it way back when, to ensure positive contact against the strings. I've probably had this capo for 25 years.
Over time it has begun to wear not only where the strings are contacted, but also the padding which presses the back of the neck. The wear in that padding has created a couple of subtle marks on the back of the neck of my D25.
What is a great capo both in terms of string contact, while being gentle on the finish and wood on the back of the neck? Anyone?
