These Kysers are great capos - had them for my acoustics for years. They're really solid. I have a D'Addario capo for my electrics, but thought I'd just get this for ease of use. Unfortunately, the spring on this is way to strong for what's needed for an electric and it pulls all the strings very sharp. At the minute I've got it clamped open in the hope that the spring will give a little, but as it is, I'm still going to be using the D'Addario one as that at least does just what it's supposed to.
