Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the capo. They mention that it doesn't fit onto Gretsch Dobros, Boxcar Dobro, or the Gold Tone at all. The solid brass bar did not fit under the guitar strings without turning. They also say that it has to be continually adjusted for each fret and that it's too thick for the cap to fit over.

I will need to put in a new string nut to raise the strings by 1/32 inch.
I got good advice about how to make sure that the tops of all six strings are same height from the online Dobro forum. I still need to get the correct nut material for it. Maybe Micarta.
In the end, I think this Shubb will work well, give good tone. Plus it looks like a piece of jewelry.
Thanks Shubb -- Uncle Banjo
