Every Taylor 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.
Purchased 24k gold finish for lasting luster - after all Thalia claims to be the beautiful capo - read their story about Thalia thinking Taylor Swift needed a beautiful capo. Only a few months after receipt of my 24k gold capo the finish begins to tarnish. Quote from Thalia after contact regarding the tarnished 24k gold, "We're also very sorry but our warranty only covers mechanical failures...", going on to offer a one time 20% discount on a new purchase. It's beautiful, if you get a good one and it works well as a capo. it's also very large and in the way for many types of playing. You can purchase a similar quality without the premium price. Been buying capos for 50 years and none have finish issues like this new one. Over priced specialty products like this one should offer a replacement, especially when they market their product as being beautiful. Will not recommend to anyone without alerting them to potentially faulty finishes. I fully expect his review to be deleted or rewritten.
Canadian Flag 🇨🇦 capo is phenomenal in all regards! Quality and ease of function. I am grateful!
If you are reading this, you likely already know that Thalia capos are the best- by a lot. So you are probably drawn to the beauty of the design. I have a number of best of beautiful Thalias and the Seigaihi Waves is right at the top of the list. The artistic rendering and quality of the execution is simply gorgeous. If you like beauty to go with function, than this capo is very worthy of your consideration.
bought this a few weeks ago. it is absolutely beautiful and high quality; however, the gap is too wide to fit on the head of my guitar where i usually rest my capo when not using. Unfortunately, when i do as Thalia suggests and leave it on the nut of my guitar for a few hours, the strings leave an impression inside the capo which then makes it more difficult to seat the capo properly without buzz. I have to adjust several times to find a space in the capo where there is not an indention and to get the proper fit. I would expect much more for such an expensive tool. I bought 2 additional capos for my other guitars and another as a gift for a friend, but now i think i am going to return them.
I love this capo. It’s easy to use and it looks great on my Martin! I just wish I would have thought to look at the radius guide. Of course the Martins need a 16” high tension fret pad and the capo comes with 12” fret pads. I went and ordered the Tennessee Whiskey capo for my Custom Shop J45 Deluxe Triburst today. I also ordered a replacement 16” high tension fret pad for my Teal Angel Wing. Looking forward to receiving it and using them.
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
