The best string conditioner I have used...EVER

While I have been a long time user of another, spray on product for extending string life, I have also tried the other products and nothing has done for my strings what String Fuel has done. I have effectively been able to double the life I get from my strings. Now this might be due to a more regimented use of the product which comes from it actually working. The included string cloth in the String Fuel case keeps things simple. Before and after playing I simply apply and wipe. I have gone from about 2-3 weeks from a set of nickel wound strings to over a month, and as someone that has always been known for working my strings to get a month out of them is a very welcome occurrence, especially with more than 5 guitars. For the price, $1.99 I say run out and get some. If I am wrong, you are not out much, but if I am right, spending $1.99 gets you double the string time, that is money saved, and time as well. I use double locking trems, and am not afraid to pull up on my one month old strings. String Fuel is my new go to string conditioning product. Try it!!!

Very Dried Out and DIrty Looking

Bought from Guitar Center as a gift for my son for Christmas. When opened the applicator looked very dirty (brownish) and the applicator was very dry. Either Guitar Center sent a used product or a very, very old one. Very disappointing. Might be a good product if it was received in a new, not dried out condition. I seriously doubt Guitar Center will be willing to send a new one as the gift given for Christmas and purchased more than 45 days before Christmas (return period). Hopefully, Guitar Center will see this review and respond to it.

    I use the Music Nomad String fuel cleaner to clean my strings before and after playing. No mess applicator and buit in storage make it a convenient string cleaner product. I would buy again if lost.

  • Good product

    The applicator pad was dry straight out of the package, it went straight into the trash 😬

    It takes no time at all to clean and condition the strings. It smells like an amazing car wax. Now that I have over 5 guitars, I have started to this to lengthen the life of the strings.

    Great product, but you better buy a refill bottle because the applicator will come pretty dried out.

  • Great product.

    Good on all strings?  I have two basses; one with nickel round-wounds and the other is gold round-wounds.  I'm also thinking of trying bronze flat-wounds.  Would it work on all of those?
