The Fret Mute by Gator Cases is a must-have tool for guitarists specializing in intricate tapping techniques. Designed to eliminate buzzing and ringing, common nuisances during advanced playing methods like two-handed tapping, this string mute provides precision players with the solution they need. Acting as an additional hand to mute open strings, the Fret Mute effectively suppresses overtones and sympathetic resonance, ensuring clean recordings and live performances. With its customizable placement options—wrapping directly over the fretboard or positioning near the nut—using the stretchy fabric and hook-and-loop strap, you have full control over dampening intensity. Available in small, medium, or large to accommodate various neck widths, from 4-string basses to oversized instruments, the Fret Mute allows musicians to focus on their playing without distraction.Gator GTR-FRETMUTE-1BK Features:Gator Fret Mute String Dampener in Size small, medium, or largeSuppresses Overtones & Sympathetic Resonance of Open Strings During Various Tapping Techniques or General PlayingRecommended Fit: 8-String Electric Guitars & 6-String BassesDampens Strings on Fretboard or Above Nut on Headstock of GuitarGreat for Studio Recordings, Rehearsals & Live PerformancesStretchy Material with Hook-and-Loop Strap to Adjust the Level of DampeningSmall & Compact – Store Directly in Gig Bag Pocket or Guitar Case Accessory CompartmentGator GTR-FRETMUTE-1BK Specifications:Small:Min/Max Overall Length: 6.5/6.87” (165/174mm)Min/Max String Muter Pad Length: 2.25/2.5” (57/64mm)Medium:Min/Max Overall Length: 7/7.87” (178/200mm)Min/Max String Muter Pad Length: 2.37/2.87” (60/73mm)Large:Dimensions (HxLxW): 1"x7.25"x1"Weight: 0.02 lbs Gator GTR-FRETMUTE-1BK Fret Mute String Dampener - SMALL.
