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, please see this blog post: Human Touch™.
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 Human Touch™ 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 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.
