Ibanez IFW10W FretWraps String Muter
A versatile and indispensable accessory for serious guitarists and bassists — ideal for studio recording, live performances, or any situation requiring clean, noise-free playing. Designed in collaboration with Gruv Gear, this string dampener/tag mute quietly tames open-string vibrations, sympathetic resonances, and overtones — helping you achieve precise note definition whether you’re tapping, sweeping arpeggios, or playing complex riffs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Professional-grade string damping: Effectively cuts unwanted overtones and open-string noise, delivering cleaner, tighter sound — perfect for studio recordings or high-gain live setups.
- Wide compatibility: Designed for extended-range instruments — fits 8- and 9-string guitars, 6- and 7-string basses, as well as 6- and 7-string classical guitars.
- Adjustable strap for fine-tuning: Easily adjust the pressure and muting intensity so you can dial in just the right amount of dampening — from subtle resonance control to full string mute.
- No modification needed: Installs quickly without tools or permanent changes to your instrument — just slide it on and go.
- Ideal for advanced playing techniques: Especially useful for two-hand tapping, sweep picking, fast legato, or studio work where clarity matters.
Who It’s For
- Guitarists and bassists using extended-range instruments (7, 8, 9 strings or more).
- Session musicians, recording artists — anyone needing clean takes without unwanted string ringing.
- Players of technical styles (tapping, sweeping, fast runs) needing controlled string behavior.
- Live performers who want stable, consistent tone even with high-gain rigs or heavy distortion.
