This is a really good conditioner for strings, I was my first time trying this and I used it all the time and I am really happy with it.

Cleans and lubricates your strings. Increases the life and vitality of your strings. Make them sound better longer. Also lubricates your fretboard and moisturizes it. So it's actually like two products in one. Makes a big difference in string noise from fretting hand. Really helps you move up and down the neck and keep your strings from rusting by blocking the oils in your fingers.

So, this stuff seems to keep strings fresh. I wipe down with applicator pad after playing. It adds some lube so fingers glide smoother thru changes and may slightly decrease string noise. It definitely seems to help condition my fingertips.....as they have been much smoother and less callouses since using this stuff. I feel like I am addicted to the string lube/cleaner.Note that the people complaining about empty containers and stuff must not realize how this stuff works. The container holds an premoistened applicator pad with a grip and cover. So you take the cover off of the applicator pad and use the applicator pad grip to hold on to while you rub the applicator pad on the strings. When you are done you put the cover on the applicator pad and then put the applicator pad with cover into the screw cap case to keep it from drying out. There is no additional lubricant in the case, as it is already on the pre lubed pad. For the money it seems like a worthwhile investment to me and works as it should.

I will admit im lazy. cleaning is not my thing. But this thing is so quick. a wipe before and after keeps your strings fresh forever. also mitigate the need to clean to fret board too....which is good for lazy people like me.

It's really good as a lubricant. Sadly, it dries a bit quickly so it won't last that long.

The product cleans the strings very well but they feel very dry and it’s hard to slide after use.

I own about 30 guitars and basses and I don't leave for a gig or rehearsal without this stuff! It works great, It keeps strings staying "like new" for a very long time. Preserves the feel and tone better than some other products that I've tried. Doesn't take up much room so you can toss it into most guitar cases or gig bags. I will purchase more of this.

I liked the applicator, but if there is a product in the jar with it I can’t see it. So basically a dry sponge on a plastic handle that fits in a plastic jar. Not what I was hoping for.

Usato come sempre sulle mie chitarre, mantiene le corde per più mesi con i dovuti accorgimenti.Asciugare dopo l’utilizzo e passare il prodotto sulle corde.Facendo così ho riscontrato che le corde si mantengono almeno fino a 3-4 mesi utilizzando lo strumento ogni giorno.Poi se devo utilizzare un suono perfetto cambiate le corde dopo due utilizzi😜

Çalmayı acayip kolaylaştırdı, parmaklar telde akıyor resmen, 2 aylık telleri yeni gibi hissettirdi. Sadece süngere emili şekilde gelmesini beklemiyordum. Yani süngeri -ayakkabı boyası gibi- bişeye batırıp sürmüyorsunuz. Sıvı/kayganlaştırıcı süngere emili şekilde geliyor (askerdeki bot parlatıcılar gibi). Yapısı, çok seyreltilmiş yağ gibi, herhangi kokusu da neredeyse yok gibi. Ne kadar süre gideceğinden emin değilim ama çok memnun kaldım.
