Topic: how much should i pay for a capo?

i went to the music instrument store a few day´s ago
and askt what a capo for a acoustic electric  guitar could cost me,
the owner show´d me 2 different capo´s

this one is the one i´ve seen every body uses http://www.playrecord.net/images/KG6B.jpg

and this one  that i think is´nt worth much (seems it will break with only watching it) http://www.playrecord.net/guitar-access … 30543.html

the price is 25 euros  ( i live in spain) for the first one and 15 for the second,

i think it´s very expensive for such a little peace of metal to put on the guitar,
so the question is, what should it cost me and wicht one is the best choise...

Re: how much should i pay for a capo?

I have the first choice (probably a Kyser model), as do all of my friends... and nobody has ever had any problems with them. Solely your choice, but I always say it's better to buy quality once than trash twice.

You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.
