Ortega Spider Monkey SMCPAD-OR — Orange Flat Guitar Capo
The Ortega SMCPAD-OR is a orange Spider Monkey capo with an aluminium-alloy body, silicone cushion and micro-adjustment tension wheel. This variant is shaped for flat fretboards and is specified by Ortega for guitars with a nut width up to 52 mm, provided the instrument’s fretboard geometry and capo fit are suitable.
Flat versus curved: choose before ordering
This SMCPAD-OR has a flat contact surface, typically useful for compatible classical and flamenco guitars with a flat fingerboard. It is a different product from the SMCPADCV-SBK curved version; don’t choose solely by colour.
