collapse expand iconDescription

The Ernie Ball FretWrap is a string dampener that provides players an unmatched level of tonal control and precision. The FretWrap's adjustable neoprene wrap instantly mutes unwanted string noise and overtones, allowing you to achieve a tighter, cleaner tone during recording sessions, live performances and two-handed tapping techniques. Now available in three sizes to suit nearly any guitar or bass, the FretWrap requires no tools or modifications to provide an instant tonal transformation.

Achieve Sonic Clarity With a Simple Wrap

The FretWrap's adjustable neoprene strap wraps around the guitar's strings to dampen unwanted noise and resonance. You can fine-tune the level of muting to achieve their desired tone, from a subtle hum to a tight mute. The FretWrap's simple, tool-free design allows for quick onstage adjustments and can be slid up to the headstock when not in use. For players seeking a pristine, controlled tone, the FretWrap is an essential accessory.

A Solution for Every Instrument

The FretWrap is available in small, medium and large sizes to suit nearly any guitar or bass. The small model accommodates most standard electrics, the medium suits 5- and 6-string basses as well as 7-string guitars and the large model is ideal for acoustic guitars and classical instruments. No matter the instrument, the FretWrap provides an unparalleled level of tonal precision and control.

Road-Ready Design

The FretWrap features a durable, road-ready design suitable for both studio work and live performance. Its adjustable neoprene strap holds securely in place during energetic stage shows while still allowing for quick tone changes between songs. For players seeking to expand their sonic palette, the FretWrap is a must-have accessory that delivers unmatched versatility and precision.

Very useful doing two-handed tapping

I use this between my 7 string and 6 string. When I do two handed tapping it works when I fumble and hit the other strings. It is the medium so it's good when switching between my 6 string and the slightly wider 7 string. Chording at the first fret is a little awkward but it takes some getting used to. Remember, it's a dampener. It's used for cleaning up your sound. It doesn't make you Yngwie.

waste of money

Unless I am not using this correctly, it does nothing to stop un wanted string noise

    I was having trouble with a lot of strings sustaining when using distortion pedals especially my Big Muff. Once it is set up it mute all strings and silences those strings not being played. I can now increase the distortion and have clean notes. #Sweepstakes.

  • Works well for what it is.

    Good fret wrap to help control unwanted overtones. I try to use sparingly so it doesn't become a crutch, but when you need it, you need it!. Easy to deploy or remove. Can affect tuning to a small degree if fastening tightly, be sure to check from time to time.

  • Yes I would also recommend this product to musicians

    Pretty continuous bass player for my church! Needed to better my town, this helped with the over vibrations that I was kidding that ruined the tone I was going for!

  • Great for slide playing and tapping

    I was wondering what size fret wrap would pair with a 12 string acoustic guitar since it doesn't clearly state on the packages.
