Whats a good brand/price for a capo and slide?

Niall0 · 2008-07-21 23:17:51

Im looking to buy a capo and a slide for my electric guitar. I have no experience with either so Is there any particulare ones/brands which would be worth purchasing ? Im looking for the clamp type of capo(online or bricks and mortar)

I'd go with Dunlop:

That's as good a price as you'll find.
Here's a selection of slides:

If you do order from thomann, beware shipping costs of 10euro or so but free if you spend 200 euro.
Dunno how much these would cost in a shop but I'd say you could add at least 30 %

Cheers for that, I got that capo and a slide off ebay for about half what it cost there.
