I have not had any experience with them. If you get one, make sure you warm up and stretch first, I've heard of people getting RSI or carpaltunnel from not warming up and stretching. When I was a kid, I had to play for a small church group regularly, I had a cheap old acoustic with heavy strings, high string action and had to play alot of songs with alot of barre chords. After awhile I never had to worry about hand strength or sore fingers. Im not saying that will help but its always nice to have a cheap guitar around that you can thrash every now and then!!!
 Later on I played Message in a bottle by The Police all the time, which helped them stretch across strings.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsMD-XO-oc4 Have fun. -------------------- -"you are the captain of your soul, the master of your destiny"

I don't have experience with those devices but I have one of this and I find it very useful to practice in places where you can't have your guitar.

I've had a Gripmaster for ages, I wouldn't recommend these devices to be completely honest.

I've never tried them, but I came to have good dexterity on the guitar only using the guitar neck as practice tool, ultimately that's what you need, maybe that shred neck could helpful for travel

I have a gripmaster and for me it's useless.
I also have a shredneck, and that's better to keep calluses when on vacation or do some scale work, but it's a bit bigger. Not bad, but it' not a guitar anyway... -------------------- Guitars:

QUOTE (JTaylor @ Dec 19 2011, 06:42 PM)  Wow, it's unanimous! Definitely not getting one! Ben hit it right on the head: "the best way to get better at doing something is to practice doing that thing." Thanks again everybody!  That's so true! -------------------- My lessons

It kind of seems like a gimmick. I just take my guitar with me wherever I go.
