Highly recommend.
When I got it I had been playing my strings for just one week and they were already getting a bit rough. I thought I would need to change them but I decided to try the product on them. Well, 3 weeks later I am playing those same strings and the roughness actually went away. The strings that get rough are always the 3 highest GBE. Especially the high E because it's so thin. That one always ended cutting my fingers after a week or two. The others don't really benefit as much from the treatment since they are wound and thicker. But I have been applying the product on all of them.
I don't know how long the product lasts. But after a month it's already saved me money.

This new version is better to clean guitar strings than ever. I Miss the cherry smell but I really prefer this new applicator, the cloth is still not good at all to wipe the strings.
Conclusion, I prefer this new version, do a better Job and less messy, need just to find a better cloth to wipe your strings after the application, I use a old glasses cloth, do a clean job. I really recommand this product, a must to have for cleaning strings and keeping your fretboard like new.
Best Fast Fret EVER.


The first time I used it, I was taken aback by how much easier my fingers glided across the strings. It was like my guitar had been given a new lease of life. The smoothness it adds to the playing experience is something you really have to feel to believe. It's not just about ease of playing; it's about the confidence it gives you. Those tricky solos and fast-paced riffs? They suddenly feel a lot more manageable.
But Fast Fret isn't just about making playing easier. It's also a fantastic maintenance tool. It keeps the strings clean, which in turn prolongs their life. I've noticed a significant reduction in the frequency of string changes since I started using it. And as a bonus, it also keeps my fretboard looking neat and tidy.
What I particularly appreciate is the ease of application. The applicator is so straightforward to use – just glide it over the strings and you're done. No mess, no fuss. And it's compact enough to toss in my guitar case, making it super convenient for gigs or jam sessions.
The scent is quite pleasant too – a subtle, clean aroma that's not overpowering. It's a small detail, but it adds to the overall experience of using the product.
In a nutshell, GHS Fast Fret is an essential item for any guitarist looking to keep their strings in top condition and enhance their playing experience. It's one of those rare products that's both a time-saver and a game-changer. Five stars all the way for this little gem!
