FretWraps are a simple way to clean up your sound when extra string noise starts getting in the way. Whether you're recording in the studio, tapping, playing with high gain, or just trying to tighten up your technique, they help reduce the unwanted overtones and sympathetic ringing that can sneak into your playing.
Slide one over the strings, adjust the pressure, and play. When you want your strings fully open again, just move it behind the nut. No tools, no mods, no hassle.
You know how frustrating it can be. One small open-string ring can make a clean take sound messy, especially in the studio or during fast technical passages. FretWraps help keep those extra vibrations under control so the notes you actually want to hear come through more clearly.

FretWraps sit gently across your strings to help control extra vibration. You can place one near the nut to clean up open-string noise, or move it further up the neck for stronger muting during specific techniques or recording situations.
Think of it less like an effect and more like a control tool. It doesn’t replace good technique, but it can help your instrument behave a little better when things need to sound clean, tight, and controlled.
I play a lot of fast paced metal at 180-260 bpm, I try to not use a noise gate because it kills sustain, but These fret wraps literally ARE a noise gate. ~Adam B.
I don't know why I avoided getting FretWraps for the longest time. They are effective in guarding against strings ringing from behind the nut, a problem I had with a couple of my guitars. Problem solved and I cannot be happier. ~Michael D.
These things are exactly what I needed. Got tired of using rubber bands and hair ties to kill my string ring on my headstock. ~Ethan M.
All my bass guitars are equipped with a Gruvgear Fretwraps string muter. I have more than 150 bass guitars!!! ~Frank V.
These are a must have for me for any of my guitars. They are a simple effective product! ~Jon O.
Choosing the Right Size Size Best Fit Typical Instruments SM Standard-width necks Most 6-string guitars and 4-string basses MD Wider necks 5-string basses, classical guitars, and some extended-range guitars LG Extended-range instruments 6-string basses and many 7- to 8-string guitars XL Extra-wide necks 9-string guitars, 7-string basses, and other extra-wide instruments
If you're between sizes, choose the size that gives you a snug but comfortable fit around the neck. You want enough contact to control the strings without making it difficult to slide or adjust.
FretWraps help reduce the extra string noise that can creep into your playing, especially when recording, tapping, or playing with high gain. The result is a cleaner, more controlled sound without changing the notes you're actually trying to play.
Will FretWraps change my tone?Not in the way most players worry about. FretWraps are designed to control unwanted string vibration, not take away the character of your instrument. You can also adjust the pressure to get the right amount of dampening for your playing style.
Can I move FretWraps out of the way quickly?Yes. Just slide the FretWrap behind the nut or onto the headstock when you want your strings fully open again. That quick adjustability is one of the reasons players keep them on their instruments all the time.
Do I need to modify my instrument?No. FretWraps install in seconds and don’t require tools, adhesives, drilling, or any permanent changes to your instrument.
Are FretWraps only for technical players?Not at all. While they’re popular with tapping players and studio musicians, plenty of guitarists and bassists use them simply because they make the instrument feel more controlled and easier to manage.
Can I use FretWraps live?Absolutely. Many players use them on stage to keep unwanted ringing under control, especially with loud amps, high gain, or instruments that naturally resonate a lot.
Can I use FretWraps on bass?Yes. FretWraps work great on bass, especially for players who want a tighter, cleaner sound when recording, slapping, tapping, or playing complex lines.
Which FretWraps size should I choose?Small fits most 6-string guitars and 4-string basses. Medium works well for many 5-string basses and classical guitars. Large is commonly used for extended-range guitars and 6-string basses, while X-Large is best for extra-wide instruments.
Keep the Noise Out of the WayFretWraps help your playing sound cleaner, tighter, and more intentional—whether you're tracking parts in the studio, working on technique at home, or stepping on stage. It’s a small accessory that can make a big difference once you hear what disappears.
