Hello Fast Fret. I recently purchased a new Fast Fret as mine currently dried out and was no longer usable after 8 years. I am extremely dissapointed that the Fast Fret experience has gone down to what it is today. The packaging is no longer the cool metal tin anymore we loved. The knob is no longer the same, but most sad of all, the oil product itself no longer has that signature fast fret oil scent to it that is actually nostalgic and make the strings have a nice applicator scent to them anymore. I dont care if you had to make a deluxe version that brought back the original packaging and oil from 10 years ago, I would pay extra for it if thats what it took, just dont ruin a product that wasn't broken in the first place. I dont know about other players but if the original does not find its way back on to shelfs, I'm going to have to sadly find an alternative when Im sure many of us never wanted to have to go elsewhere for our string applicators.
Hi GHS People
I really love your product - actually I'm addicted to it...
It would be good though to se the return of the metal container, the plastic one is not air tight, and the product dries out quickly. ( I spend a good deal of the years in the heat of Thailand)
Maybe you could make two versions - standart, and deluxe?
Anyways - what could be really nice was if you added a refill option to your product line - environmentally and economically - I use at least one can every three weeks, and it seems to be a bit of waste of plastics.
Best regards
Sune
My complaint isn't about the packaging or the applicator itself, but about the oil. Not sure what changed recently, but it seems to have something that makes it smell like marshmallows in the worst way possible. Using it once, the smell was overwhelming and made me nauseous after a while. There was not much of a scent to it before, so I'm not sure why it's scented now.
Hi all,
I am a long time user of Fast Fret (since 1991, almost everyday use since then), and I also sadly saw the downgrading of the product to commertial-dangerous limits. As I loved/love the product I try a constructive critic here, and encourage the Company to come back to old-standards. I'll explain:
- Container: the metal box, changed for thin cheap plastic. Not essential to the product usage but a sign of a "well presented product"
- Fast Fret Handle/grip : Wooden handle/grip changed for that "H" shaped plastic. Less ergonomic and uncorfortable, but again not essential to the product usage
- Product itself: This is probably the worst factor: the lenght and diameter of the application part is smaller, and the product lasts a way much less. The classic string feeling of Fast-Fret applied lasts also less in a clear encheapment of the content.
- General Apperance: A cheaper product with same "serigraphic & cosmetic" apperance. Essentially a Low Cost version of our beloved Fast Fret, but costing more in the shops.
I had tons of Fast Frets now I saw how I pay more for less product and less quality. I even marked in the top of the Container the date I bought it (-yes, like in a Supermarket product) to track the lasting-time, with inadmissible result...
Example: my last fast-fret was bought on Oct-2025, and now is getting empty (dayly use). This is a No-Go, and before wasnt like this.
This is happening to all guitarplayers I know in the area, and also the internet ecosystem. To the point many of us are reapproaching our old habits and a question a next-rebuying of this product again, which is actually sad as was a great product for "no-change" in lifetime.
Please, take all of this under consideration and do what you know you have to do.
Thanks
Jac.
I made a sign in account specifically to complain about your product. What happened? I just started playing guitar again a couple years ago after a 17 year absence and Fast Fret was one of the first things I bought. I've read some of the other comments. Please don't tell me the formula hasn't changed. I don't believe it. I used Fast Fret from when I start playing guitar as a Freshman in High School in 1994 to when I set it down for a while in 2006. The package change was a HUGE bummer. Going from the classic wooden handle and tin container that everyone loved to plastic everything is criminal. I don't understand why companies do that crap man. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it. The formula though. Man!!! Doesn't smell the same and doesn't feel the same. With all of the complaints, y'all seriously aren't going to make it right huh? I'll pay more money man as I'm sure everyone would. Bring Fast Fret back to the Original!! Original everything... packaging, wooden handle, cotton instead of felt, and of course...THE FORMULA!!!! Come on GHS, DO BETTER PLEASE!!!! Thank you!
