GHS Fast Fret & EBMM Guitars

[zyx345]

Anyone using GHS Fast Fret string cleaner ever notice any build up on their fretboards?

I have an old Ibanez RG that I used to use Fast Fret as a string cleaner on before and after playing and over time I noticed some build up by the frets. I was going to start using this on my Axis but I wasn't sure if it was compatible with the unfinished maple fretboard.

I already am aware of Wonder Wipes, however I have always used GHS Fast Fret as a string cleaner.

I use GHS fast fret every day, dont notice anything bad.

 

[k.gormley]

I use it also, but my fretboard is rosewood.

 

[ivanmihaljevic]

I use it too and it's ok!

 

[Spudmurphy]

I use it too and it's all good.

 

[guitarman23]

i don't use any of that cause the strings get sticky after a while, wash my hands before play so they last longer.

then i guess i'm the only one who thinks the damn thing sticks all over the board? i used once on my JP and before that on cheapos. thrown it away on both occassions...

 

[edrod]

I used to use it but it gets my fretboard extremely dirty. I just clean my strings with a rag and they feel pretty good.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I have tried it and dont like it. Its like wiping chicken grease all over your neck!

 

[daeniuszhu]

there's always the Ernie ball String Cleaner if you are afraid of leaving build ups

but I use Fast Fret on my JP fairly often too and nothing bad happened yet....

I also much prefer either Ernie Ball string cleaner or FingerEase. I will say, I never,ever spray finger ease on the string or neck. I spray it on a cloth, and use the moistened cloth on the strings to clean them

JP DRENCHED his BFR in Finger-Ease at the Perth Clinic.

He didn't have any on him, so the hosts sent a worker for an express dash to their shop to get some.

It arrived about 10 minutes after he started.

When it arrived he stopped mid-sentence and said "Ahhh, it's here !! " - then went on to explain how much he uses it.
(as he was spraying copious amounts directly onto the strings / fretboard.)

I live by Finger Ease as well. I think it's MUCH less sticky than Fast Fret. I use Wonder Wipes when I want to clean, Finger Ease between playings...

[edrod]

Finger ease is pretty good, the problem that I have with it is that it feels weird after I'm done using the guitar. I can't explain it though.

 

[travs]

every 2 weeks I use it and I love it. no build up at all. I use a 3M polishing cloth for all neck work.

 

[mikeller]

I should add - I keep FingerEase and a cloth on stage with me everytime, and wipe down the strings after each set to keep them feeling new and clean.

 

[Warg Master]

I use finger ease as well. And like above, I also have a cloth to wipe it down after I'm finished.
