GHS Fast Fret Guitar String Cleaner and Lubricant

Fast delivery, securely packaged, no complaints at all there. I've been using Fast Fret for a long time now, I'm so happy my wife discovered this for me (she bought me a new guitar for Xmas a few years back and included Fast Fret as an accessory). If you play guitar, you need this. Fast Fret lasts a long time, I use it on two guitars and I think I might go through two per year, maybe three. Forget about the included cloth, it's useless on guitar strings, always has been, and is generally recognized as such by just about everyone who uses Fast Fret, but we forgive GHS this because Fast Fret is such a good bit of kit and it's completely unimportant. Fast Fret does keep the strings brighter for longer (both visually and audibly), and it slows down corrosion and speeds up the neck. The strings feel smooth and slick, and your playing hand slides up and down faster. I took a while to get used to the feel of slick strings, but now I can feel how slow and rough dry strings actually are, and it's a really noticible difference. If you use it all the time, it really does feel like you're playing with new strings all the time, and if I pick up my mates guitar and his strings are dry, I find it almost unplayable. It's certainly uncomfortable. A word of caution: the occasional coat of Fast Fret is useless if you play regularly. The string corrosion is already well under way by the time you think to apply the Fast Fret. Getting the best from it requires a little routine, but no guitarist should ever consider a little maintenance to be too much effort. If you do, you should consider another instrument. Before playing, clean your strings. I use an all-in-one folding microfiber string, fret and fingerboard cleaner. They start out about £6 and go to around £13 on Amazon, they really do work and I highly recommend you get one yourself. There are, of course, lots of cloths and oils for sale on Amazon as well, if you prefer to do it that way Apply a coat of Fast Fret Play your guitar When you're finished playing, clean the strings again Apply a coat of Fast Fret and put your guitar away It's not really as much work as it sounds, Fast Fret lasts for ages and the results are well worth it. If you're not already in the habit of looking after your strings, then now's the time to start, and Fast Fret is a good start.

Great for cleaning my guitar

I have used this product for many years BUT the manufacturers have spoilt this by packaging it in a thin plastic tube which causes the cleaning stick to dry out hence shortening its life. It used to be packaged in a tin which remained airtight, the cheap plastic tube is no where near as good. Shame on whoever brought about this change! For those wanting to prolong the life of this cleaner I recommend using an empty yeast tin you can buy from any supermarket. It’s slightly bigger than the original tube but it works.

I've been using GHS Fast Fret on my guitars for a while now, and I must say, it's like a magic wand for your strings. As a guitarist, you know the struggle of keeping your strings clean and your fingers moving smoothly. Well, Fast Fret has you covered on both fronts. The first time I used it, I was taken aback by how much easier my fingers glided across the strings. It was like my guitar had been given a new lease of life. The smoothness it adds to the playing experience is something you really have to feel to believe. It's not just about ease of playing; it's about the confidence it gives you. Those tricky solos and fast-paced riffs? They suddenly feel a lot more manageable. But Fast Fret isn't just about making playing easier. It's also a fantastic maintenance tool. It keeps the strings clean, which in turn prolongs their life. I've noticed a significant reduction in the frequency of string changes since I started using it. And as a bonus, it also keeps my fretboard looking neat and tidy. What I particularly appreciate is the ease of application. The applicator is so straightforward to use – just glide it over the strings and you're done. No mess, no fuss. And it's compact enough to toss in my guitar case, making it super convenient for gigs or jam sessions. The scent is quite pleasant too – a subtle, clean aroma that's not overpowering. It's a small detail, but it adds to the overall experience of using the product. In a nutshell, GHS Fast Fret is an essential item for any guitarist looking to keep their strings in top condition and enhance their playing experience. It's one of those rare products that's both a time-saver and a game-changer. Five stars all the way for this little gem!

This may not seem like much more than a cleverly marketed cloth, but the truth is that it will keep your guitar in great shape for longer and that to me is well worth the paltry sum this costs. It not only allows easy cleaning of your strings after each play session, but will gently oil the strings and fretboard with an easy rub up and down. This not only cleans off dirt and oil from your fingers but puts a protective coating onto both to keep them from degrading. You should notice a huge difference in life and playability of your strings which essentially means you won't need to change them as often which will save you the cost of this bit of kit right there. The other upside I found is that with the oiled strings, it actually aids playability as well (it may take some getting used to but after a while you will wonder how you ever did without it). It also comes with a nice little cloth-type addition as well for wiping down the body of the guitar and the neck, which is a nice touch too. A quick word of warning as i've seen other reviews which claim problems with it, take care when using it and you don't need to push on too hard. Some folk end up with bits of the cloth material sticking to the strings, especially the low E and A strings which can trap the cloth in the ridges. This obviously something to avoid but this hasn't been an issue with me and I suspect those who are finding this to be an issue are simply pushing on too hard. All in all, well worth the small sum these are on offer for. Will prolong your string life and keep your guitar in much better playing condition. An ideal addition to any gigging guitarists cleaning repertoire for certain.

Grateful cleaning my Guitar I love the smell

FAST FRET will not give you lightning fast fingers or instant shredding ability ! So what does it do ? Rubbing the impregnated stick along the neck deposits a layer of lubricant to both the neck and strings allowing less friction with the fingers so making slides and bends slightly easier . Functionaly the difference wont be instantly noticable, but over time you may notice strings last longer and playing slightly easier. IMPORTANT ! wether usisng Fast Fret or not , always rub or wipe your guitar after use with a cleaner or micro fiber cloth, sweat from fingers if left will corrode strings and effect the neck. Value for money is down to the individual, dependant on how often its used, I ALWAYS apply a light rub every time i play one of my guitars.
