Default Sunburst Thalia Capo Owners

This is a long shot, but my friend's birthday is coming up in 2 weeks and I'm not sure Thalia will get back to me in time. Also, they are unfortunately sold out of a few of the sunburst models.

My friend got a J-45 for Christmas and it has been his dream guitar for basically his whole life. I really want to get him a matching capo from Thalia but I can't tell which one will be the best match.

His guitar is the Vintage Sunburst finish.


This is my friend's guitar



Here is the tri-burst birdseye maple capo (sold out...)



here is the tobacco burst


And here is another picture of the tobacco burst which looks completely different!!


So does anyone happen to have a J-45 and a matching Thalia capo?? Or just opinions on the pictures?

Many thanks in advance!

I'm a fan of the Tennessee Whiskey version.

The Rosewood model is close enough for me.

I believe tobacco burst is what Gibson calls their burst finish, so I'd go with that one. But might be worth emailing Thalia to confirm, I've heard they have very good customer service.

A buddy of mine has a sunburst J45. I got him a mahogany Thalia capo and he loves it, matches well too.

They also have various Gibson logos. Maybe one of them?

I have a couple of Thalia capos, including the Tobacco Burst model in chrome, it matches the sunburst on my '56 Gibson LG1 very nicely.
