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.

Custom Taylor Parts

I bought the black cherry mother of pearl pick guard and it was a nice addition to my Taylor koa guitar. The installation was as advertised. The mother of pearl was a perfect match. I also added the bridge pins and truss cover in the pearl as well .

Oh so sweet

This pickguard supports a wonderful cause and looks gorgeous as well. Zero issues removing the old one and installing this. Thinking of giving my others a facelift as well. Ooooooooh the possibilities. :)

Great Even For My Home Built Acoustic!

Purchased this pick guard for an acoustic “body build” kit from Stumack. It looks great and dresses it up nice!

Perfect fit & looks great

The Taylor Academy 12 doesn’t come with a pickguard, which in itself is fine. However, I imagine I’ll keep this guitar for quite sometime, so having a pickguard would be helpful to protect the finish over the long haul. The fit is perfect. And, just as importantly, I actually like the looks with the Bubinga pickguard better!
