Product Information

Every guitarist experiences some discomfort when they start out learning the instrument, or when they play for extended periods. This isn’t too much of an issue, as the pain will go away as callouses form and your fingertips become hardened to it. Finger trapping risks are increasingly being targeted in Health and Safety inspections: schools and businesses are expected to assess the risks and install finger guards to doors as appropriate. For example, it may be appropriate to fit guards to entrances, toilet doors, storage cupboards and exterior gates as well as the more obvious classroom and corridor doors. If you’re in the early stages of learning guitar and are experiencing a lot of soreness in your fingertips, guitar finger protectors can offer temporary relief. However, it’s better to rest your fingers and play without protectors as much as possible, as this will cause the skin to become tougher. Potential Benefits of Guitar Finger Protectors

We would be delighted to advise on suitable finger protection to meet your door safety requirements and budget to ensure that your doors are finger-safe now and for the future. Steel-stringed acoustic guitars are the main culprit for causing soreness, and therefore you might find guitar finger protectors beneficial if you are spending a lot of time playing this type of instrument. Do You Need Guitar Finger Protectors? The Door Finger Protector ® is used in a variety of different nurseries, schools, leisure centres and care homes providing total finger protection.Initially, this may make playing chords and notes much easier as there is less pressure required, and the friction is minimized. The most frustrating thing about experiencing soreness in your fingers is that it prevents you from putting in the hours to improve your abilities. In the rare case that your fingers are very sore from playing, or you break the skin, you should rest until you can play without it being too painful. Are Guitar Fingertip Protectors Effective? Finger guards for doors in schools, designed for high-traffic areas, also work great in leisure centres, soft play centres, commercial spaces (restaurants/cinemas), and hospitals – anywhere where children's fingers are at risk of being trapped or injured.

Or, if you have a high pain tolerance you can battle through the blisters and continue to improve your skills. It all comes down to personal preference. String Types Whether you need guitar finger protectors depends on your personal preference. I’d recommend resting if your fingers become sore rather than relying on o these accessories.

The only way to know whether guitar finger pads will be beneficial to you is to test them out. Every guitarist’s fingers are different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Electric guitar strings are easier to press down than acoustic strings, and it’s very unlikely that using finger protectors is necessary when playing an electric. Likewise, nylon strings are quite easy on the fingers, so you probably won’t need protection when playing classical guitar. One could argue that using guitar finger protectors will allow you to practice without pain, while the skin on your fingers is healing and becoming more resilient.
