Fender Speed Slick String Cleaner
I have been a long time user of the original GHS fast fret 'speed slick string cleaner', however the last couple of fast fret sticks I have purchased have been disappointing and I found the newer versions are nowhere near as effective as the old ones so I thought I would try this alternative product from fender and I am delighted I did.
For a start the fender stick is so much better because the shape of the application pad is long and thin rather than round which means it is even faster and easier to apply the solution, this shape of pad means you can make a single pass or two at most to cover all the strings at once rather than having to do each string individually.
The cap also holds a small cloth to wipe down the strings after each application to clean the string and remove excess solution.
Secondly and most importantly the lubricant / cleaning solution is as good or better than any of the alternatives.
I tend to use it after I play to clean and preserve the strings but it can also be apply before playing to lubricate the strings and board if your into high speed playing.
I am delighted with this product and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Fender Speed Slick String Cleaner
Fender Speed Slick String Cleaner
I have been a life long user of the original big brand of 'speed slick string cleaner', the classic GHS fast fret, however the last couple of fast fret sticks I have purchased have been disappointing because they have obviously changed the recipe or something and the newer versions are nowhere near as effective as the old one so I thought I would try this alternative offering from fender and I am so glad I did.

Handy gadget to have
A really handy little gadget to have in your gig bag. When you've been playing a while, it just takes a second to wipe down the fret board with a cloth, then rub the strings down with this.
It cleans the muck and gunge off the strings and keeps them playable for longer and sounding better for longer.
This can also help keep the frets clean longer as well as there is less gunge to tarnish the frets.
The longer between string changes and fret polishes the better.
Great product.

Quick and easy to apply
Convenient gizmo. Experimenting whether to apply before or after the play and it feels good either way. I like the feeling on my fingers and strings "feels" easier to bend.

Good alternative to fast fret
I have always used fast fret but like the idea of a wider applicator, as it works well so far..

Really good string cleaner
I always use a bottle of D'Addario string cleaning liquid in the house on my guitars and it's great but I am always worried the bottle might break or spill in my case when gigging so I've used Fast Fret to clean my strings for a number of years. Unfortunately I've have noticed the quality of Fast Fret has diminished the last two times I have bought it so I thought I would try something different. I checked out the various other string cleaners and this one seemed the best for value for money so I took a chance and bought it - I'm glad I did. This Fender product is perfect for gigs as it can't leak and it applies quickly easily to the guitar neck. It does a good job of removing dirt and making the strings feel more fresh and slick, prolonging the string life. All in all - recommended!

Cleans strings and makes them slick
I've used 1 of these over the period of a year and it's a must have for anyone with a guitar. You'll be gliding up the fretboard and the strings will stay good for longer. It does it's job really well

Best product for me
I have sweaty fingers and that is not good for guitar strings.
Before I needed to change strings every two months but since I use this product my strings are protected and they last much longer. The cleaning is simple and effecive and protection is perfect.
I am very satisfied with this product.
