SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: I've been using GHS Fast Fret String Cleaner for many years on mountain dulcimers, and I wouldn't play without it! This product makes stringed instruments much easier to play, and especially makes it less painful for your fingers to slide up and down the fretboard! Fast Fret will also prolong the life of your strings, keeping them free of oxidation; and this product is also very good for your instrument's wood fretboard. Use this before and after you play and you'll save wear and tear on your fingers, strings, and instrument! This product is definitely worth having!

Feature: great product. keeps my strings clean and prolongs the life. doesn't really keep string noise down though. My fingers used to hurt when I played guitar, but now with this stuff I can play without hurting. I cannot play guitar without it now. Now I carry it with me everywhere. Quality: I have to agree with another reviewer here about the plastic lid. It keeps popping off and doesn't close tightly. I don't like having to worry about the product getting dried out and crusty. The old canister (which was non-plastic and sturdier) keeps this stuff longer. Otherwise I would give the quality ranking a 9. Value: cheap and worth it for keeping your strings longer. I hate to change strings and this stuff allows me to stretch out the life of my strings.

"Just Try It"

By a customer from dasw.net

Music Style: Acoustic Rock
Back to Product Information
Sound: Really quiets down the fret noise when you slide up or down the strings Overall: I liked it, in fact I bought it twice, because it makes playing the guitar faster! Much faster, you won't believe your fingers. Just one problem, I notice my fingers hurt after a shorter time of playing than without it. Also, one small note, your strings will last longer because it cleans and protects them, which for me is great because I have sweaty hands.

Overall: GHS Fast Fret builds up on the strings of my electric guitar so fast its not cool. I just put on new ernie ball slinkys 10/46s I played it twice once immediately after installing strings and fast fret. and again the next day. Fast fret builds up or oxidizes the strings while the guitar is in its case. My guitar is gross. the strings are a waste now. And I thought my sweat was the worst thing for my strings. wow my guitar strings look like they are years old and kept outside. Then if you play the guitar the funk on the strings starts coming off all over the guitar pickups neck headstock act. Extremely disappointed. A complete waste of money

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
