Elliott Capos

Precision you can hear. Craftsmanship you can feel.

Elliott Capos are widely considered the finest capos in the world. Handcrafted in Texas, USA, they are designed to solve the age-old problem of capos pulling your instrument out of tune. With their jewelry-quality stainless steel construction and self-centering saddle design, an Elliott capo applies the perfect amount of pressure to your strings—keeping your intonation true and your tone pure.

Why Invest in an Elliott Capo?

For serious acoustic musicians, bluegrass players, and flatpickers, an Elliott isn't just an accessory—it’s a lifetime investment. Unlike mass-produced spring capos, every Elliott capo is machined from high-grade stainless steel and hand-polished to a mirror or satin finish.

The genius lies in the design. The padded, genuine leather saddle cradles the neck of your instrument, while the fine-thread screw allows you to dial in the exact tension needed to fret the note without bending the string sharp. The result is a capo that disappears under your hand and keeps your guitar or banjo in perfect tune.

Which Model is Right for You?

We stock the full range of Elliott designs, each catering to a specific player preference:

The Elite Series: The most popular choice. It features a thinner, lower-profile yoke that stays out of your way and utilizes the exclusive Elliott "Push Button" top bar for the quickest on/off action.
The McKinney-Elliott: A nod to tradition, this model pairs the famous McKinney saddle with a classic bail latch (rather than a push button) for a vintage look and feel.
The Integrity Series: Built to the same exacting standards as the Elite but with a satin finish and a wider saddle design, offering Elliott performance at a more accessible price point.
Banjo Capos: scaled-down precision for the narrower necks of 5-string banjos, available in both Elite and McKinney styles.

Whether you need a 16" radius for your Martin or a 14" fit for your Bourgeois, an Elliott Capo ensures your instrument sounds exactly as the luthier intended.
