Ernie Ball FretWrap by Gruv Gear, Large (7 & 8-string guitar)
This is an Ernie Ball FretWrap by Gruv Gear in LARGE for 7-string & 8-string guitar, 6-string & 7-string bass.
Remember those studio days when you had to wrap a piece of cloth or t-shirt around your guitar to cut those overtones and ring-y strings?! Couldn’t do that live… well, now you can!
FretWraps have been an increasingly popular guitarist accessory for a little while now. The convenience of a dedicated, adjustable, and moveable mute pad has won over many a shredder!
Sympathetic resonance can be much desired when playing a beautiful clean passage, but when the gain’s whacked up and you want just the right notes to sing through a little dampening is what you need.
Ernie Ball FretWraps have a chunky, towel-like pad with an adjustable strap which gently mutes the strings when placed over the strings at your desired position. When not in use just push it up and over the nut where it can stay until next needed. No modification to your guitar is required.
And no, it’s not cheating.
Size: LARGE
Fits: 7-string & 8-string guitar, 6-string & 7-string bass.
From Ernie Ball:
“The Ernie Ball FretWrap by Gruv Gear is a professional string dampener/muting accessory that every studio, session player, and tapping aficionado should have! Slide on the FretWrap to effectively cut overtones and sympathetic resonance during recording, live performance, two-hand tapping, or any creative situation where you need that extra muting hand for cleaner takes without the unwanted string noise or ringing. The adjustable strap lets you fine-tune the pressure and dampening of the strings. You can quickly slide the dampener over the headstock when not in use. No special guitar modification, installation, or tools required – Yet amazingly effective!”
