Kyser KG6 Short-Cut Partial Capo

The Kyser Short-Cut Partial Capo is a creative tool that unlocks entirely new tonal possibilities on your acoustic or electric guitar. Unlike a standard capo that bars all six strings, the Short-Cut Capo covers only the three highest strings (G, B, and E), leaving the three bass strings open. This creates a unique, harp-like chord voicing that mimics the sound of open tunings without requiring you to retune your guitar. When placed on the second fret, it replicates a drop-D open tuning feel and allows you to play beautifully resonant chords with simple fingerings. It’s particularly popular among singer-songwriters and folk guitarists looking for a distinctive, lush sound that stands out from conventional guitar playing. Made from the same durable aluminum alloy as all Kyser capos, the Short-Cut is lightweight and easy to apply or remove in seconds. Soft rubber padding protects your guitar’s neck and ensures clean contact without buzzing. The quick-release spring mechanism makes mid-song key changes effortless. A genuinely inspiring accessory that encourages musical exploration and creativity. Compatible with most standard 6-string acoustic and electric guitars.
