Customer reviews about GHS Fast Fret – Thomann United Kingdom

I only know that I play better when using it

Tannhauser 10.12.2022

EDIT:
Used it for about 2 months, about 1 or twice a week. Then it dried up. Disappointed, as I have read a lot of reviews that stated that you have enough oil in there to last you for much more. Did not buy another one, switched to the blue competitor's product and I found it to last longer with similar effects.

I have no idea about how good/efficient this thing cleans or if it actually protects the strings and the fretboard. This can only be appreciated by close systematic observation for the duration of maybe on year or more, and compare it to a control group that doesn't use it. I am just a guy who likes to shred from time to time, so...yeah. But I know that whenever I use this on the strings and the fingerboard, it lubricates them and the playing is much faster and easier. But the tone gets affected, it cuts some of the highs. Overall I will buy more.

Okay

Andre Andreas 22.03.2022

It was okay, for me personally i didnt like they way the strings felt and smelled on my hands. But the strings stayed nice and clear so i’ll give them that, the strings had a smooth feel across them, but as i said not really for me so you’ll be the judge of that

Meh, it's ok

nikreiman 12.09.2023

I've bought this product twice, after the first one unexpectedly dried out. They changed the packaging from a cute metal tin to a cheap plastic one, which is disappointing. The product works reasonably well but there are other alternatives which probably don't generate as much waste.

Good for getting the grime off

Thomas5505 02.07.2015

I used this product for quite a while. I seem to have very corrosive sweat and my strings were in quite a state after each gig. Fast fret is good for cleaning the grime off and getting a bit of lubrication on the strings to aid sliding the fingers up and down on them. Do not use this product on coated strings(Elixir, D'addario EXP etc). I started using Elixir strings and cleaned them with fast fret after each gig, but it takes all the coating off the string and they will start to corrode like normal uncoated stings. For normal uncoated strings to get them clean and lubricated, this is the best string cleaner I have come across.

Not so fast

Anonymous 18.01.2022

It tends to dry out and overall is a bit too oily.

Doesn't seem the same as I remember...

DNearney 30.10.2018

I picked up a tin of Fast Fret on a whim after not using it for years, and I must admit I am a little disappointed. Yes, it does make your strings more slinky and putting some on just before starting a gig can be helpful. However, even though there is a plastic cap on the end of the applicator (which can be pretty fiddly on a dark stage) I found that it dried out pretty quickly to the point where I couldn't tell if I was applying any after a few weeks.
I don't feel that it is a good cleaner of strings, nor that it protects the strings at all. For that, I find that the products from Kyser work the best. For these reasons, I won't be buying another tin, but I have friends who cannot play without it!

Not as good as it used to be

Janne O. 13.10.2015

Back in the day before they got bought by GHS a stick of Fast Fret used to last forever. Now I find that after a couple of months of use it has lost most of its effectiveness. It's still a good product, but unfortunately not as good as it used to be.

Confusing to operate

Psynogen 15.06.2021

It does the job of lubricating the strings before a session. Don't know how long it will usable. A good tool to be in your guitar case.

A few months ago I ordered a GHS fast fret, and got one bonus. Unfortunately, only one of the two worked fine while the other was completely dry and could not been used for more than a week.
I am using it for both guitar and a bass.
I'll give it another chance since I am using it for a while.
Just got the new one and hope it will be fresh long enough.

hmm.. meh..

Anonymous 13.07.2016

I personally bought this product, just because i was curious and everybody told that this is a good product.

After several times applying the product to my guitar, i don't really see a difference. It just feels that my strings are more slippery.

It does feel that my guitar is cleaner, shinier, and easier to play. The frets feel easier to play or press, but only for some minutes.

So... give yourself a try
