They even have models for guitars w/ a vintage radius neck. Great product.

I like the shubb too. Previously I had a Dunlap brass model similar to the shubb and that was good capo too. Lost that one in Katrina and couldn't find another one like it. I have the shubb now and it's great.

I like small capos like the shubb - not those big honkin' ones that look like they're twice as big as the neck.

i'll third the shubb! i have been using them for several years on my strats and now my teles. small and fully adjustable. as mentioned they have the two electric models, one for 7.25 radius if you have that type of finger board and the other is flatter. you can even get replacment rubber sleeves if they wear out, though mine never have.

kyser's are great for guitar repair! they work perfect if you wanna remove the neck while your guitar is strung. i just put the capo on the second fret, loosen the strings, and take the neck off for truss rod adjust etc. they are still available here:

and also all over ebay!

I love my Shubb, but it is somewhat limited. I tried using it at the 7th fret and the clamp didn't have enough reach to secure it. I have a really thick neck, so folks with moderately-sized necks might not have a problem.

On my MIA, the Shubb secures all the way to the 13th Fret. Won't go any higher due to the fact that the neck starts flaring toward the neck pocket at the 14th.

It's cool with me though - never seen anyone attempt to capo anywhere near the 14th Fret. YMMV.
