What type of acoustic guitar? Maybe yours is is not flat fingerboard type. Most classical guitar has flat fingerboard. Check if your is:
Cylindrical - constant radius all along fingerboard
Conical - radius varies linearly along the fingerboard
Compound - curved all along the fingerboard but not really radius

The cheap one (pictured) has flat rubber, so I guess not really suitable. If pressed on curved fingerboard, it will detuned the string laugh.gif

So I suggest you get the detail of the capo. I guess your is radius type. I used that capo on my Yamaha classical guitar wink.gif

I think most acoustic guitar for strumming like this is conical in type. You can see that the fingerboard is slightly curved from side. So does the frets. Normally around 16" radius So, the capo with slightly curved press rubber is more suitable.

I checked that the Kepma SG website selling capo for SGD11++ only, but you just search in Lelong for survey first and find the one that you like
