The crisp, bell-like tone of new strings is sadly, for many of us, way too short. Often the lack of proper string cleaning procedures, excessive humidity, or naturally occurring acidic sweat, all of which cause the alloys used in string manufacturing to oxidize. This results in a “plonk” instead of a “zing”.
Many players also have unrealistic expectations of how long a string should last. Most string manufacturers will tell you that strings really only sound their best for 4 to 10 hours of playing. However this opposite of their ad claims. This means that if you play a lot, you may be changing your strings every week or every day depending on your tonal preferences. At $7-$10 a set of strings this could get expensive.

WHICH INSTRUMENTS CAN IT BE USED ON?

  1. Guitars – Bass, Electric, Acoustic and Classical
  2. Banjos, Mandolins and Ukuleles
  3. Any Fretted or String Instrument
  4. Fret maintenance keeps Frets in top playing condition.

WHAT ABOUT RE-HYDRATING THE FRET BOARD??
Only on rosewood or dark wood type fingerboards. Maple boards tend to be sealed to stop dirt; hence they have a lacquer coating. Read more on Fret board cleaning.

DOES IT WEAR THE FRETS DOWN?
No, quite the opposite, fret wear is caused by corroded strings with dirt trapped underneath, this combo acts like micro sandpaper. Cleaning out the corrosive dirt reduces damage caused by friction, apart from being a lot nicer to play; the frets and strings are protected against future wear.

  1. Product of the Year Award by Guitar & Bass Magazine??Chromefrets Silky Strings was launched at the July Guitar fest and to date over 20 shops are stocking it. However we only sell online, passing the huge discounts over to you. A guitar with polished frets will dramatically improve the look, but more importantly the feel of the instrument. Chromefret achieves this, plus makes string bending much easier and the neck ‘faster’.
  2. “Fret polishing has always been the preserve of luthiers,” commented Hinchcliff. “it required specialist tools and was labor intensive, but now it’s a quick, safe process that any player can achieve.”
  3. It also re-hydrates fret boards, lubricates the nut and saddle, and does a full 360 degrees plus corrosion inhibitor and lubricant, which retains tone and reduces string breakages. Also lube has a dry feel and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. It’s reusable and contains no silicone.

Eric Clapton’s setup/repair guy Lee Dickson says; “Chromefrets is a sophisticated tool that delivers on it’s promise, players can now experience the same look and feel pro musicians expect of their guitars”
