Hey guys,

I just wondered.... Is fastfret a good buy? I can order it for 7.50 euros, just not sure whether it's necesary...

Cya guys,

Kaz

ps, for all dutchies, 7,50 is cheap, that's because I looked at musicallin.nl. The site is great, pay after receiving your stuff, and no shipping duties!!

I used it for a while makes the strings feel very smooth. But it seems to take some of the brightness.

It's not something to use everyday, but I recommend it to get longer life out of your strings. When you rub it on, it takes any small corrosion out of the strings, and surprisingly they sounds new again. Guitar players change strings too often I think. A set of strings should last over 3 months with this stuff.

I have one here but never used it smile.gif I'll try tonight

I usually change strings every month but if on a tour then every single day. I never risk when I am about to play on stage. Also I have agressive vibrato. Even if I don't change them they lose sustain and sometimes hard to stay in tune.

I sometimes use fastfret to keep the strings clean and brighter, it works pretty good. But I change strings every 3/4 days.

You can't make a order in this shop below 20€. If you buy something else it is worth a buy.

i use it and like it, dont know about making strigs last longer, never keep em on long enough to find out. it does however make the strings a bit slicker when you first apply it though.

I do apply it about once a week to condition the strings and it will help the life of the fret board. As far as the product claiming to brighten the tone, don't know about that one mate. It also says it will make you play faster, well maybe for some, but don't get it on your pick or it will slow you down. smile.gif dropped mine twice today during a take after applying it. laugh.gif

You really should apply and then let it dry overnight, I just don't have the patience.

I used it for many years but have switch to finger ease, since it is slicker. I just wanted the lubrication for my fingers, never paid any attention to if it made the strings last longer or sound better. I just wanted slickness.

I guess you could use it everyday to stop corrosion in the first place. biggrin.gif

I'm far too lazy for that, I actually don't like the slickness of it too much. I always wipe the excess with a clean dry cloth to slow them down as much as I can.

Useless stuff. Adding this spray to my strings increases the mass of the string and therofore affects intonation. I play advaced country stuff where the correct pitch is paramount. This is just crap on my strings and I don't need that.

If I just want something to clean my guitar with, should I go for FastFret or for Fender Guitarpolish?

Depends totally which parts of the guitar you want to clean? FastFret in my opinion is not for 'cleaning' the strings and the Guitarpolish is mostly to let the body shine again.

Fastfret is just for cleaning strings. For body you need a polish.
