If you are in need of a single fretpad or want to try out a different fretpad material then you are in the right place.  You can now buy singles of all of our fretpads!  See below for descriptions of our different material options.

 


Human Touch

Constructed by a proprietary silicone blend that exactly mimics the elasticity of the human finger and works great on 12-string, Baritone, and 6-string guitars. Comes in both standard tension and high tension (2mm thicker) configurations. Human Touch Standard Tension Fretpads, work with all 6-strings, while High Tension Fretpads are designed to handle 12-string, Mandolins, Ukuleles & thin necked guitars.   For more information on our all NEW Human Touch™ fretpads.



TEFLON SLIDING

Our Teflon Fretpad’s material attributes are the complete opposite of rubber. While rubber is soft and binding, Teflon is hard and slippery. These characteristics, produce a noticeably more vibrant tone and allow the strings to bend and slide beneath the capo, which help to keep your guitar in tune. This makes teflon act like a finger instead of a nut.  Comes in both standard tension and high tension (2mm thicker) configurations. Teflon Standard Tension Fretpads, work with all 6-strings, while High Tension Fretpads are designed to handle Mandolins, Ukuleles & thin necked guitars. * Not to be used with 12-strings or Baritone guitars.



RUBBER

Our Rubber Fretpads are harder than our OctaveTouch fretpads but are still soft enough to bind the strings to the fret, keeping them from moving beneath the capo.    This makes them act like a nut.  Traditional capos have always used rubber due to its conforming characteristics. 



Partial esus


These rubber fretpads convert any 200 series Thalia Capo into a Esus Partial Capo. When the capo is installed from the treble side (bottom) of the neck, strings 2-3-4 or 1-2-3 will be fretted.  When installed from the bass side (top) of the neck, strings 3-4-5 or 4-5-6 can be fretted.  These are very useful with alternate tunings.

Every Thalia Capo comes with:

  •  Standard Tension Rubber Fretpad Tuning Kit (7 different radii)
  • High Tension Rubber Fretpad Tuning Kits (7 different radii)
  • Quickstart Guide
  • Sticker

Note: Guitar Pick No Longer Included with CapoEach of the 2 included rubber tuning kits include 7 different fretpads with the following radii:

  • 0" for Classical Guitars
  • 7.25" for Vintage Fender Guitars
  • 9.5" for Modern Fender Guitars
  • 10"  for Ovation, Rickenbacker, etc.
  • 12" for Gibson, Guilds, etc.
  • 15" for Taylor, Breedlove, etc.
  • 16" for Martin, Yamaha, etc.

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

Great products!

I’m very impressed with the quality and flexibility of these capos. I was a little hesitant based on overall price, but have found them to be well worth the price. I will likely add another so I can have one set up for my Martins and one for my Taylors. The individual pads work very well.

A Clean Sound

While there is not a ton to say about a rubber strip that “frets” the capo, the heavier-duty material provides a clean and natural sound.

Not quite up to expectations

I play a Martin GPC 12A4 12 string. The Single Fretpad does not deliver a consistent performance. When it's "on" it frets the instrument perfectly and produces beautiful intonation, and when it's "off", it frets weakly enough that the high octave D and G strings buzz badly and nothing I can do stops it. I am heartily sorry to say that I get 100% better results with a competing brand which I have owned for quite some time. The Thalia is a beautiful piece, and I like everything about it but the way it "Capos". I cannot use it as a standalone accessory

Teflon and Human Touch/OctaveTouch Fretpads

It's great to be able to get different radius and material-type Fretpads, Standard and High Tension, and easily swap them on Thalia capos. The Human Touch (aka OctaveTouch) Fretpads seem to be THE BEST overall (and I do mean of ANY capos, ANY brand), and are a 'no-brainer' for my 12-Strings and wide-ranging string-gauges such as on my Baritone Guitar.

However, while still fairly fresh, the Teflon Fretpads are excellent if you do a lot of string-bending or use a 'string-pull'/"B-Bender" mechanical string-bending device. They do eventually wear and get a bit scratchy and less slippery, but if gigging or recording frequently, they're worth the cost of occasional replacement, kind of like changing strings- but much less frequently needed. I love both types and I'm glad to have 'em!
