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™ 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.

If your Thalia Pick Puck loses some of its bonding power, simply wipe the GuitarSafe™ Micro-Suction pad with a damp cloth to remove the dust and it will work as good as new. To remove the pick puck, you simply pull up very slowly on one edge to break the suction.
In this short video, Chris gives you an overview of the Pick Puck 2.0 and how a pick puck allows you to attach your Thalia Capo to your headstock...
If you are wondering about how the pick puck may affect your guitar's finish you are in the right place. In this blog article, I will perform a series of tests on my guitars and talk about finish safety. The bottom line is that the pick puck uses thousands of nano-sized suction cups to adhere to your guitar. While it doesn't use adhesive it does use suction, so certain finishes should be avoided.
In this next video, Chris demonstrates how to remove the pick puck safely without damaging the puck or your guitar's finish.
