Perfectionist Tool

If you are recording a guitar, you probably ran into an issue with some weird sounds and overtunes heard in the recording. That is exactly what this little gadget is here to remove. After putting this on my ESP LTD EC-1000 I did not notice a difference - but after putting it on my Epiphone Les Paul Special, I could clearly hear the difference.

That's more a testament of how awesome ESP's are, but regardless, you will most likely not hear the difference in a live setting (unless you have super awesome in-ear monitors, ala Matt Heafy, where you can hear the most minute imperfections).

If you love recording your guitar and want to get rid of overtones even after playing the section perfectly, this should be a weapon of choice in your arsenal.

Bonus point: Personally, it also looks cool on a guitar.

You get what you pay for.

It did seem expensive to buy and I was kinda doing the same thing with my hairs rubber band's but ...kinda doing it.
When i first placed it on I immediately saw and felt the difference. Sweeping has never been easier. It looks like it's made from quality materials and nice stitching. I have a feeling it will last a long time.

I use it for both my Carvin and my Hamer. I do have to point out though, that because my Hamer has a Floyd with a locking nut you can't slide it off with one hand like i can do with my Carvin, which has a Floyd, but has a plain nut with locking tuners.

Simple and Effective

I'm using it with my LTD EC-1000AT. It's a bit pricey for a velcro band, but it does the job as intended. I was planning to buy the wider and golden one that Matteo Mancuso uses, but they weren't listed on Thomann. Better luck next time. I think using this with Strat-type headstocks is much easier due to the lack of an arch behind the nut, especially when sliding back to the nut to use the open strings. The sweep picking you do will spoil you even more. Personally, I don't keep it on the guitar all the time—whether it leads to lazy muting techniques in practice, well, maybe! :)

Nothing special

It functions fairly well as a mute for feedback and unwanted noise, but it really is overpriced.
For practice purposes a clean sock tied to the fretboard has better results without even spending a cent and for stage purposes... A nicer and cleaner sock surely does the same!

The only advantage it has over DIY alternatives is that it makes you look more "professional" if you show up at a gig with one on your guitar.
