@@earthlingification yeah… you’re right. I caught that a tad too late

I am an engineer and I dont of any easy way to prove that tuning instability can be attributed directly to tuning machines. It's a system. My experience is tuning heads is the standard response even if it isn't the cause.

That dude must had one them ghetto cigars before talking about the string lube lol. Jump the ditch without warning .Must been some hippy ass smoke .

I've been playing since 1974 and gigged professionally for 25 years. I've been using Fast Fret for years, because the sweat of my hands is more acidic & causes rapid corrosion of the strings. I use it more for a string-cleaner. Fast Fret minimizes the corrosion. It doesn't "gum up the strings".........because you're supposed to wipe the strings thoroughly after applying it. Ya don't just "rub it on & leave it there". That's exactly why it comes with a small soft cloth. The supplied cloth is crap, so I use a better cloth.

@@howabouthetruth2157 It does gum up the strings. Even if you wipe it off. I used it for years because I too have acidic sweat. When I stopped using it, and just wiped my strings more thoroughly after playing, my strings felt much better in the long run. Agree to disagree.

@@48mastadon First off, I want you to know that I truly appreciate our debate remaining totally polite. Cheers to ya Brother. But the whole point of wiping guitar strings is to REMOVE gunk that builds up from the sweat & dead skin cells that coagulate on the strings during playing. Back when I used to perform 4-set/4 hour gigs, I was going through strings every gig, due to my acidity. ( My lead guitarist could get at least 2 gigs out of his acoustic strings, which I always envied, as we joked around about it. Incidentally, we both performed for years playing electric guitar in full-on R&R bands before going strictly for acoustic. There was more $$$ to be made as either an acoustic duo or solo artist vs a full-on band. ) My strings would literally be turning green midway through our gigs UNLESS I used some type of spray, whether it was Finger Ease or better yet, Fast Fret. After each & every set, during our break, I would immediately apply the Fast Fret ( that I still prefer today ) and wipe those strings THOROUGHLY......including placing the soft cloth BENEATH the strings & running that cloth all the way up & down the fingerboard. THAT WORKS VERY WELL. I wipe the top of the strings all together, then wipe underneath, THEN I wipe each string individually, to get the sides of each string. The Fast Fret breaks that gunk ( coagulated sweat & dead skin cells ) down, making it easier to wipe off. But hey, to each his own. My biggest gripe with Finger Ease, is due to being a spray, it is quite wasteful......and never.......EVER.....spray Finger Ease on the back of a neck. That WILL cause instant gumming. I haven't used Finger Ease in over 35 years, when I first discovered Fast Fret. We used to laugh & scoff at the directions on the label of Finger Ease that said: "Spray liberally on fingerboard and the entire neck, including the back, and wipe off excess". That shit gummed up glossy finished necks even worse, lol. Lastly: I don't use Fast Fret for "slicker, quieter strings"........I use it as A SOLVENT to get my personal sweat & grime off the strings, lol. It helps to break that gunk down, for easier cleaning. About every 3rd string change, while the strings are off, I apply food-grade mineral oil to my ebony fingerboards & bridges ( I have 4 acoustic guitars these days, all with ebony. ) I truly believe the main ingredient in most of those over-priced fingerboard dressings, is indeed: mineral oil.

@@howabouthetruth2157 My strings never turned green but they would become like thin little saw blades. And that was with Fast Fret and wiping strings thoroughly. I would change strings on all four of my guitars every three to four days. When I stopped using Fast Fret, they would last up to two weeks. It's funny that you brought up Finger Ease and how awful it is. I started with that garbage and transitioned to Fast Fret, which was an improvement, but it was all I ever knew as I started using it early in my playing days. It was almost like a bad habit that I had to quit and I'm glad I did. But regardless, as long as you're playing, it's all good. Keep rockin'.

@@martspar9075 for sure it’s money well spent! The universal application alone is great. The separate volume and effects are useful as well! I think it’s genius!
