Have you tried asking Kyser? They may have another model that does work
with the guitars you have.

You might find it helpful to have a description of the neck.. perhaps if you
make an image of the profile of the neck and rest a ruler next to it for
scale, they'd be able to match more easily.

Works great on all my guitars. I think on most necks.

Shubb capos work on my old National reso, and modern necks don't come any
fatter than that. Also, when properly adjusted, they don't pull the strings
out of tune . They also make a 12 string version for very wide necks and a
classical version for wide flat fretboards.

The *only* thing I like about my kyser is that, because it is big and bright
red, it is easy to find among all my stuff at gigs. I don't think it works
as well as the Shubbs - maybe I should just tie something bright to the
shubb to make it more visible.
