collapse expand iconDescription

Now there's no more need to use a scrunchie or hair tie. FretWraps string muters are adjustable straps that allow you to fine-tune the pressure and dampening of the strings effectively cutting the overtones and sympathetic resonance during recording, live performance, two-hand tapping or any other situation where an extra muting hand is needed for taking out unwanted string noise or ringing. And when you need to change strings, it comes off in a cinch. This smart accessory is for any studio, session player or tapping afficianado. It comes in a 3-pack, so you always have one at the ready.

Choose from small, medium or large. This is a 3-pack.

Small: Fits 4-string basses 6-string electric-acoustic guitars and ukuleles
Medium: Fits 5-string basses and 6-string classical guitars
Large: Fits 6-string basses and 7- to 8-string guitars

Great recording/performance tool

I just got the fret wrap today in the mail and I must say,I am very happy with it. It really helps me clean everything up more. All of my sweep and shred licks sound a lot clearer as well as my riffs. There's no feedback from the touching of strings getting in the way. I gave this a 4 star because I do think this product is way over priced, however I would definitely recommend this product.

Does the job, but not great.

I was excited about getting these - I've had an old hairband on my main 6-string for years, and it finally died. I also recently purchased an 8-string, and wanted something to mute strings on that as well. The small are a great fit for my standard electric guitars - a Parker Fly, a Fender Strat, and a Fender Tele. Tight enough, but still flexible enough to move. However, the large (which is recommended for 7 and 8 string guitars) is still too small for my 8 string (a Legator Ninja 300-PRO, if anyone's curious). It definitely mutes the strings, but won't slide past the nut, because it's too tight. I have an Ibanez RG7620, and while I didn't try it on that guitar, I suspect it will work fine there, since the neck is slightly narrower. The other major gripe I have is that there is a piece of plastic which joins the muter together. I could see this inevitably scratching or marring the finish or paint of a guitar. It also has a habit (particularly on the 8-string, where it's too tight) of turning sideways. Honestly, the fact it does turn sideways is what makes it work at all on my 8-string. If this were made out of better materials (i.e. replace the plastic with leather, braided vinyl, paracord, or kevlar), it would get another star, but the fact the "large" is marketed to 8-string guitarists is not accurate.

    Got a 3 pack thought they were all 3 different sizes but the medium managed to still work great on my 7 string guitar and 4-5 string basses still would recommend getting the right sizes tho either way greatly improved tone definitely will buy more

  • This cleaned up my leads better than anything I've tried

    As soon as I put one on my guitar I heard the difference in my solos, I won't play w/o one since that is my main function in the band. Yes too much money for what it is but not for what it does, for me what it does is like finding that new amp you've needed for a long time. I can't recommend them enough or a DIY one if you don't want to spend the money, just do it if you're a lead guitarist. Careful though it can affect the tuning so after you put one on check your tuning again, it will probably be a little off which negates the benefits.

  • Definitely getting another one
