This New String Cleaner works as advertised.
The plus side is that it simultaneously cleans beneath and on top of the strings.
The minus side is that when pushed up to the nut it gets really tight between the strings and fretboard, and will not easily clean at the important first fret position. Pulling on the device when it binds in that area results in its opening up or disengaging.
A simple wiping with a cloth or using "Fast-Fret" will work almost as well for a lot less money.

I bought this product despite the warnings I read about in these reviews. I also play with very low action, but I had no problem using this device. It worked very well even up to the nut through the first fret, which did require a little maneuvering. I used it on my Fender Strat and my Rickenbacker 360/12 which is notorious for its narrow fingerboard. I had no problems. I plan to use the Fast Fret before I play and this device afterwards. That will make a neat 1-2 punch to keep my strings clean and bright. It loses a rating star to me because it should be easier to open. Otherwise, it's a fine product.

I have used the device for a month now and have to say that I am truly amazed by how well it works. Having almost destroyed my neck with other products, I was forced to clean my strings with a cloth or my fingernails, which is nasty. I have been waiting for something like this for a loooong time. It is so easy to use, highly efficient, and it cleans the strings underneath! I also like the fact that you can just clean the microfiber cloth every month or so and then it is brand new again(although, you should really let it dry properly before using it again!). I guess you can probably get around 6 - 8 months out of this little device, which of course saves some good time and money. I think this product will become a must have for all serious guitar players. At least it is for me. Way cool! The String Cleaner - The Ultimate String Cleaning Tool

Great idea
This is great idea to clean guitar strings. I've always wiped down the necks of my guitars but this allows you to clean the underside of the strings as well as the top. Read more

Doesn't work with really rusty strings
It's really just O.K. If it could lock up a bit tighter it could clean up really rusty strings, but it doesn't. It just barely cleans somewhat dirty strings. Read more

Works like a charm on my mandolin
This is one of those simple gizmos that make you wonder "why didn't i think of that", it snaps around my mandolin strings by the bridge and a quick run up to the nut and back down... Read more

Good Idea to clean Guitar Strings without causing damage.
I give this product a 5 stars in terms of the idea, but a 4 or less in terms of the materials used to make it, especial the outer plastic shell. Read more

best way to get under strings
cleaning the top art of the strings is no problem. It's the underside that gathers all the grime. The first thing you'd see when you look at the guitar is the top part right? Read more

Works like a charm.
It's convenient and it works well. A little cheaply made, but just be careful with it and it'll last. Read more
