Detail 01
Applicator stick in a tube
You run the pad along the string length rather than pouring liquid, so it stays off the pickups and body finish.

GHSFast-Fret String Cleaner & Lubricant
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A wax-and-lubricant stick you rub down the strings after playing. Cleans grime and slicks up the fretboard hand. For any guitarist or bassist.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players whose strings go dull and dead within a week
- Fast lead playing where finger squeak slows position shifts
- Keeping a gigging guitar playable between string changes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting to revive strings already corroded or pitted
- Players who dislike any residue feel on the neck
- A substitute for actual fretboard oil on dry rosewood
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cleaner and lubricant in one
Removes sweat and skin oil while leaving a slick film, so strings both last longer and feel faster.
Detail 03
Works on wound and plain strings
Same stick covers electric, acoustic and bass sets, so one tube handles every instrument in the house.
Detail 04
Under ten dollars
Cheap enough to keep one in each case, which matters because it only helps if you actually use it after playing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Wipe strings with a dry cloth first, otherwise you rub grime back in
- 02Cap it tightly; the pad dries out if left open
- 03One tube, no cloth or fretboard conditioner included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does Fast-Fret make strings last longer?
It removes the sweat and oil that corrode strings, so sets stay bright longer. It cannot restore strings that are already dead or corroded.
02Will it damage my fretboard or finish?
It is applied along the strings with the pad, so very little reaches the wood or body. Wipe off any excess that gets on the fretboard.
03Can I use it on acoustic and bass strings?
Yes. It works on plain and wound strings, so the same tube covers electric, acoustic and bass.
04How often should I use it?
After each playing session, once strings are wiped dry. That is when sweat and skin oil are still on the windings and easiest to remove.
