Title: Engraved Capo's
Post by: psy on April 12, 2010, 02:11:25 PM: Does anyone know any where that do capo's with a name engraved on it? Or do you think it'd be safe to the places that engrave dog tags & cut keys engrave a name on to one?

It's a friend's birthday coming up & I think it'd make a nice gift. :)

Best thing to do would be to consult with them with the relevant dimensions and spelling to hand I should think.

I remember when they came out and I was a bit snooty about them - what a lot of blah, etc...

But now I've just eradicated 20-odd years of capo woe. Boy, was I wrong... they are FAB (I'm gonna get another for vintage radius boards as well)
