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.

Perfect fit, looks fantastic

The checkered pattern looks fantastic on my modern blue Tele. Really gives it personality, for lack of a better word. The smaller checker boxes are eye-catching, more so than the larger box designs I’ve seen before. Would recommend 100%.

Two sides of the story

In my "Go with the flow, and enjoy the ride" move, I love the pickguard, the classic checkerboard pattern, and the overall look and vibe it creates.

In my OCD mode, the pattern flaws can start to drive me nuts.

When that happens, I stop looking, and just play.

All is good then
