The Gator Cases Fret Mute is the new essential tool for guitarists who favor tapping. This string dampening system offers precision-focused musicians exactly what they are looking for: an effective solution to eliminate the buzz and unwanted resonance often encountered when using advanced techniques, such as two-handed tapping. Like an extra hand to dampen open strings, the Fret Mute suppresses harmonics and sympathetic resonance, ensuring a sound as pure as possible for your studio recordings and live performances. Even the slightest trace of unwanted noise can ruin an otherwise flawless take. The Fret Mute allows you to focus fully on your playing.
Attach the Fret Mute by wrapping it directly around the fretboard at any position on the neck, or place it at the nut or just above it. Its stretchy fabric and hook-and-loop strap allow you to adjust and lock in the desired level of dampening, giving you total control over its positioning and pressure. Fret Mutes are available in four different sizes and adapt to a wide range of neck widths, from 4-string basses and 6-string electric guitars to 12-string basses and large-scale stringed instruments.
