I think as long as there aren't any chemicals in those wipes you can use them for strings. Wipe them off when you're done, so they remain dry.
The best solution would be to buy Fastfret This post has been edited by Milenkovic Ivan: Dec 31 2007, 01:52 AM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I actually came across a cleaner called Dr. Duck Axe Wax and its brilliant, you can use it on the whole guitar although I only use in on the fretboard and strings. Ohh,I use Fast Fret for body,neck,headstock etc -------------------- Youtube

Does cleaning your strings help you play? And does it improve tone?

yeh i use fast fret then to remove the residue without leaving any cotton biuts wrapped around the strings i use The swipe...
The swipe really is awesome i reccomend it to all, the material also removes small bits of rust (not that you should let it get so dirty!!!), i cleaned a set of strings on my friends guitar that he hadnt used for 6-7 months, they were all rusty, dirty and toneless..the swipe made them almost good as new (which saved a journey to the store). Anyone else use the swipe? @tomy: in short yes, letting strings become to dirty / not cleaning or replacing can make a guitar sometimes unplayable and sounds quite bad. |

Clean strings are easier to play and cleaning affects sound very much (when I use fast fret and leave it over night to do its thing on strings not wipe it off immediately a get new strings sound in the morning) ..Also its more satisfying to play a guitar thats sound good!!

i shall try it that way! Thats the trick I recently learned and since then I saved a lot of money on buying (not buying) new strings.Please tell me the results.. p.s. I use it on a bass but I'm sure it will work the same on guitar strings.. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
