Gibson is on it (https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Product/Split-Parallelogram-Rosewood-Capo-24K-Gold/G200-SPLITPARA-IR)

Affordable, too!

Gibson continuing to innovate, after carefully listening to the requirements of musicians.

The first capo to require a CITES certificate. Innovation.

Seriously, I think there is a market for stuff like this. An expensive capo to go with an expensive Gibson acoustic.

I've seen people throw a lot more on less useful bling. If I needed a capo for my L5, that would probably be the one I'd get.

Might that have helped Boris?

Expensive, but doesn't even have binding! Can a Custom Shop version be far behind?

I wonder if this is a result of Henry's supposed consulting fee.

Anyway, this is made by Thalia Capos (https://www.thaliacapos.com/collections/capos/?sort_by=manual), which are all fancy and expensive.

I'll stick with my $20 Shubb.
