Guitar String Dampeners / Mutes
(sorted by Newest first)

Bothered by excess noise, overtones and other extraneous elements taking away from your playing? Spoiler alert: If you can hear it, so can your audience. Spoiler alert #2: Even if you don’t think listeners can hear it, it’s obviously bothering you and getting in the way of your playing.

So what to do? Glad you asked. String dampeners significantly remove unwanted noise from the guitar and from your playing. While some have used household items like hair scrunchies and tube socks to dampen their strings, that’s hardly a professional or long-term solution.

Enter the Ernie Ball FretWrap by Gruv Gear. It will cut the overtones and sympathetic resonance, whether you are recording or performing before a live audience. It works for two-hand tapping, sweep picking, or any creative situation where you need that extra muting hand for cleaner takes without the unwanted string noise or ringing. You just slide it on – no special guitar modification, installation, or tools required.
