Our new & improved 2.0 Pick Guards now come with our proprietary GuitarSafe™ Micro-Suction Technology, meaning you can stick it right over your current pickguard or add it to a guitar without adhesive! See video below for details! We also offer a 3M permanent adhesive backing if you are seeking a more permanent option.
GuitarSafe™ Micro-Suction Technology
Our proprietary GuitarSafe™ Micro-Suction Pads are modeled after a Gecko's foot, using suction instead of adhesive to adhere to your guitar.
We tested multiple formulations of micro-suction material before finalizing the formula for our GuitarSafe™ Micro-Suction Pads. Some formulations were far too aggressive and others not quite aggressive enough. Instead, we wanted it to adhere safely to the guitar's finish but not so aggressively that it could cause damage to delicate finishes. The pad's surface contains thousands of microscopic air pockets that create partial vacuums between the puck and the target surface. It isn’t pressure sensitive and won't leave any residue behind. It can also be used repeatedly without losing its gripping power.
