This small (SM) size is the perfect fit for 4-string basses, 6-string electric and acoustic guitars, and ukuleles, acting as a “virtual third hand” to silence sympathetic resonance during high-gain recording, complex tapping, or live performance. The adjustable strap lets you fine-tune the damping pressure to your needs. Its low-profile design slides easily over the headstock when not in use, making it an essential tool for any player seeking the polished, noise-free clarity that defines Petrucci’s legendary sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"When I’m looking for that little extra help to get certain challenging passages ultra-clean while using high gain, or to just be aware of the potential to improve upon my technique, my new fret wrap is my go-to!
