Every Gibson Licensed Thalia Capo comes with:
Note: Guitar Pick No Longer Included with Capo
The High Tension Fretpads are 2mm taller than our standard tension fretpads, so these are needed for 12-string guitars, Ukuleles, Banjos and certain guitars with low profile necks. A complete database of guitars and their radiuses can be found here

One day in 2010 as 8-year old Thalia Bradley was playing guitar, she gazed up at the poster of Taylor Swift on her bedroom wall. Taylor was holding a beautifully inlaid Hawaiian Koa Taylor guitar. As she focused on Taylor's guitar, she had a big idea.
Thalia was using a capo that day, but as she stared at the poster she envisioned a much more beautiful capo for Taylor, one that would perfectly match her Hawaiian Koa Taylor guitar. That was the seed of an idea that would ultimately lead to the invention of the Thalia Capo.
For Thalia's father Chris was an inventor and guitar player and he loved Thalia's idea, but he also thought the capo could be redesigned to make it much easier to use. They went to work and some 70 prototypes and four years later it was ready.
The "reverse action" design of the new Thalia Capo makes it easy to apply with just the fretting hand using the same pinching action as a barre chord. And of course it also features exotic wood and abalone shell inlays, just as Thalia had imagined.
After my purchase of a Thalia Teal Angel Wing capo, I received the customary e-mail asking if I would write a review. I am happy to do so. I have five Thalia capos, all ordered to accompany either my two top-end tenor ukuleles (a Kanile’a custom D series and a Ko’olau custom) or three baritone ukes (a Kanile’a, a Cocobolo Ukulule, and a Pono Master Series). These capos compliment the instruments wonderfully as to both looks and function. They are easily better at fit to the baritone ukes than anything else around, as well as the tenors, and the materials used on Thalia capos give a good natural barre chord sound. Admittedly, a Thalia capo is not inexpensive, but if you have a fine instrument, it is fitting to accompany it with a high-quality capo.

And it works so well. Beautifully consistent tone across the fretboard, with minimal to no effect on intonation.
4 stars because there was not an Ebony with Gibson Custom block inlays instead of the slants. I ended up going with the Gold Gibson Rosewood with Peral slanted Inlays. Would still look to purchase an ebony with block inlays if it was developed. I am going to look to see if they have a Macassar Ebony to match my Martin next.
This patriotic capo is a real eye catcher and works great.
To achieve a perfect fit, the Thalia Capo comes with multiple interchangable fretpads so that you can match the fretboard radius of your specific instrument. The following table lists common fretboard radii used by major manufacturer. If you do not find your specific brand and model below you can Google your guitar make/model plus the words "fretboard radius"; if that doesn't work you can use the manual method which is described here
Please Note: 12-String & 8-String Guitars should use our High Tension OctaveTouch fretpads to get the best performance. Standard Tension and High Tension Rubber fretpads are included with every capo. Our Teflon fretpads will likely not work on instruments with octave strings. size chart guide fret board
