Review: a change for the better - I have purchase GHS Fast Fret from several musical instrument vendors all over the country. I can't tell you how many dried out applicators I have purchased in the past, but no more. GHS has change there applicators for the better. They are no longer made of wood. The two I received came in "SEALED" metal containers and the applicators are now made with a plastic handle and they have a tight fitting clear plastic cap that closes over the end of the applicator thus preventing the Fast Fret from drying out. The handle also has a hollow compartment to house the soft cleaning cloth that come with this fine product. you just fold the cloth in half, roll it up and it fits neatly in the handle, which has a cap with "gripper" edges so you can remove it. As it also fits very firmly. An excellent way to improve an excellent product. Fast Fret does everything the people at GHS say it will do. Fast Fret cleans your strings and fret board and make your strings sound bright, louder,clearer and last far longer than you would ever imagine. I have played for fifty one years and I will not play with out GHS Fast Fret. Thank you GHS for a brilliant product and a brilliant up grade to it.
Review: Not just for left hand! - I put it in the lower part of my strings by the sound hole. It helps me strum fast bluegrass way better than bare strings. Pick glides with less resistance. Love it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have thick calluses and they squeak when I slide on the low strings. Will this eliminate or at least greatly reduce the "squeak"?**
A: First, I have to use fine sandpaper to keep the calluses on my fingers under control! The Fast Fret will reduce the noise somewhat but the use of Elixir strings will virtually eliminate the noise. I use Elixir strings on all my guitars, acoustic and electric. And... You can get good deals on these strings on Amazon!!

**Q: is this a liquid that has to be applied with a towel, or is it a paste that applies like a tube lip chap stick?**
A: This is a liquid.  It is not like a "chap stick" as others have explained.  You apply the amount you like and wipe away any excess with the included cloth or any cloth.

**Q: How are you supposed to get the bottom of the strings?**
A: Typically, you do not get the bottom of strings.  Great for string change for fret board as well.  Use the cloth to clean the bottom side of strings.

**Q: How often does fast frets need to be replaced? I'm assuming they get dirty and accumulate dirt and oils over time?**
A: I use Fast Frets when I change strings.  I should probably use it more often because it works well.  I have several guitars and restring each of themv3 or 4 times per year.  So, together I probably apply Fast Frets 15 times per year; and on applicator lasts me about 10 years.
