Capos

Hope this does not sound dumb should a decent capo like a Dun lop work just as-well on a 12 string guitar as it does a 6 string?

I find when I place my capo on my 6 string it is as clear as a bell but not so on my 12 stringer

Is there a specialized capo for 12 string guitars or just down to the way you put your capo on

No it's not a dumb question at all, the twelve string fretboard can be a little bit wider than a standard fretboard depending on the make of guitar. You can get capos for twelve strings, here are some shubbs they have a grading system 1, 2,3, the threes are for the twelve strings. Hope this helps.
