Gruv GearFretWraps Wood 'Ebony' String Muter 1-Pack (Small) (FW-1PK-DRK-SM)

I bought this as I’d just bought my first Floyd Rose equipped electric guitar and the Floyd system on my axe is so resonant, it produces pretty loud ‘sympathy’ notes I guess they’re called - sounds like you’re picking the strings beyond the nut - especially with high gain or distortion.I was hoping this wrap would fully solve that...it didn’t, not entirely at least. It has muted the unwanted noise slightly, but, not entirely and not to the degree I expected and hoped for. Whether it’ll have more of an impact on the springs themselves I’ll have to wait and see. It seems to work fine on guitars without locking nuts though!As a side note, although I don’t really do so, you CAN use it as a movable capo - handy option to have. Great product, just not perfect for what I wanted.

This works surprisingly well and damps down a lot of unwanted ringing.I have a Godin Freeway 4 bass which is extremely resonant and lively with incredible sustain. Not being an expert player means it's not easy for me to make it sound good when open strings are ringing out constantly.I've tried various DIY fixes but found this is much better and doesn't look like you got your bass tangled up in your laundry. I do like the way my bass sounds with it on too, I am able to get closer to the sound I want and the strings seem to have much more balanced output levels and tone. I Found out after trying it that it is supposed to be wrapped around the frets but that would limit the use of the fingerboard and add too much damping. I have been using it wrapped around the nut so it covers the strings on both sides of the nut, this gives me the result I want.I know my technique needs work and I will feel more inclined to practice now that I have tamed down a lot of unwanted sounds.

I always thought these were a bit of an expensive gimmick but honestly, they work brilliantly for stopping some (not all!) unwanted overtones. I use them when recording Bass and they have saved many a take that otherwise would have been ditched due to a random ringing string. They are expensive for what they are, no dispute. But they work as intended every time and you don't have to fanny around concocting some hideous thing out of a sock, some rubber bands, and a dead sparrow. Bass life hack.

Perhaps my hopes were too high, that this would help me to improve my bass playing and stop noise from unfretted strings when trying to learn to slap like Davey504. It doesn't seem to dampen as much as I thought - I probably need a different product at the bridge.Tried on 6-string guitars as well with much the same outcome - it helps, but good technique makes it next to useless. I will keep trying it, but it's been a slight disappointment for me. I'm not saying it does nothing, but it's not muting as much as I expected.

If you use high gain sounds on your guitar or bass then you should check out one of these. They really do help in eliminating the sounds of unwanted open strings and ringing notes. Not a replacement for learning a good clipped muting technique using the side of your palm close to the bridge, though. Heavy Metal & Punk players would appreciate this device. Fits well on my PRS DC3 guitar & on my 4 string Fender Jazz bass.

I’m not sure I really had any use for this, I was just intrigued. It’s a good quality item, but it would want to be for what they charge for it. Dampens some overtones you’d have to be pretty anal to worry about outside of a studio...and make no mistake, this does not have any where near the effect old school muting at the bridge does. But then that’s not the intention of the product. 4* just because it is quality and functional but I can’t give the 5 because it’s a ludicrously niche product that, in my opinion, has no real use out of a professional environment.

this does work but on a prs custom 24 it AMPLIFIES the sound of the strings coming into contact with the 1st fret, which I find more distracting than 'harmonics'! If Guthrie says its a good idea then I'm sure it is. its very well made.:^)

Nice and expensive, anyway is once or twice in life…check on the website for the right spec if you want use it on an acoustic or classic
