It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar which mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, our fifth string capo bar was eight inches long, and attached to the banjo neck with three mounting screws. A few years ago we remodeled the bar, a change which I'd long considered. I personally never capo the fifth string any higher than the tenth fret (this would go along with the regular capo being at the fifth fret). So for my own banjo, I made a custom bar which was much shorter (5.75\"). This shorter bar is now our standard size. Besides taking up less space on the neck (for you fellow thumb-wrappers), it offers the additional advantage of using only TWO mounting screws instead of three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you feel that you want to be able to capo all the way up to the thirteenth fret, the original eight inch, three-screw bar is still available. The price is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shubb Capos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45543210811571,"sku":"SHUBBFS\/GOLD","price":140.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/6382\/3027\/files\/SHUBBFSGOLD_a3bbd9cf-af12-4863-b637-0aa51de852ca.jpg?v=1780051301","url":"https:\/\/southsideguitars.com.au\/products\/shubb-fifth-string-regular-bar-banjo-capo-in-gold","provider":"Southside Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
