I was skeptical, but now I'm convinced. I use this when the weather is sticky, so that my hand doesn't stick to the back of my bass guitar neck. It let's me slide about with ease, without interfering with fretting at all.

I ordered a smaller size and still, the tips of the finger is has excess material, making it clumsy on the finger board. Do Not Buy - Useless.

Ovviamente non ha senso mettersi il guantino perchè fa figo...(ovviamente tutti ti chiederanno come mai usi il guanto...!)Lo si usa perchè serve / se ne ha bisogno. Io soffro di reazioni allergiche sulla pelle ed in particolare sulla mano sinistra per cui spesso uso creme che mi renderebbero impossibile suonare. Con il guanto ho risolto ottimamente. Inoltre il guanto protegge le dita dall'abrasione delle corde "round wound", in parte protegge dal nichel chi ne è allergico, aumenta la scorrevolezza delle dita sulle corde e questo è particolarmente evidente usando le corde lisce (che io impiego sul fretless). La scorrevolezza delle dita inoltre risulta ancora maggiore, rispetto a senza guanto, nel caso in cui le dita siano sudate. Non costano pochissimo ma sono fatti alquanto bene. Ho la sensazione che questa versione marrone sia leggerissimamente più stretta rispetto alla versione bianca. O forse dipende semplicemente dal fatto che lo ho usato pochissimo (anche se con quello bianco non mi ricordo di questa sensazione iniziale). Io ne ho 4 (3 bianchi e 1 marrone/color carne che uso nei concerti per mimetizzare di più il guanto). Scegliete con molta cura la taglia giusta seguendo le istruzioni scegliendo il prodotto. Per me è diventato un prodotto must have.

I used this to avoid sticky neck when playing banjo. With this glove I am able to effortlessly move up and done the banjo neck. I cut off the fingers except for the thumb as I prefer to finger the frets without a glove.I got this to replace Dr.Duck's Ax Wax which contains highly refined Petroleum Distillates which can cause lipoid pneumonia.

I am 62 and new to learning the guitar. Like most people, the painful fingertips I have are causing me to take a day in between practicing. I realize this is part of the process, but my fingers feel like they've been severely burned. So, I found this glove and figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The glove distributed the pressure more evenly around my fingertip rather than leaving the deep ruts from the strings. I can still feel the string, and I don't think that I will need to use it in the future, but for now it will allow me to practice everyday rather than the every other day I needed to rest my fingertips.Now on to the glove itself. I measured my finger as shown, and according the chart I needed a size small. But, it also says to size down for a tight fit. After reading the reviews and seeing that the new version of this glove with the logo printed on it, was smaller than the original version, I ordered the small. It fits perfectly, with the exception of the space at the bottom, between the fingers. As noted by other reviewers, the material doesn't go all the way down. I found that I had to push the material down from each fingertip, towards the bottom of my finger to get it to fit correctly. I have kid sized hands and really didn't expect this, but there it is. You can get it to fit better, you just have to work with it. Maybe it loosens up over time, we'll see.I also found that the glove was a little short from the base of the fingers to the wristband. The wristband part starts more on the heel of my palm, rather than below it. Again, maybe as I wear it, it will loosen up and fit better there or maybe a medium would fit better. I may try a size up in the future, but for right now, this is getting the job done.In summary, if you are just starting to learn an instrument with strings and it feels like someone has ripped your nails off, and discouraging the practice that will toughen them up, I say it can't hurt to try. I am happy enough with the glove to give it four stars, despite the minor fit issues. At this point, I don't know how durable the glove will be, but I don't think at this point I am playing enough to cause a lot of damage, so we'll see how it goes.

Apparently, invented for bass players, here I'll address the viability for left hand fretting on an acoustic steel string guitar.Purchased due to severe nickle allergy. Instead of refretting all my favorite guitars (hands shredded bc nickle is toxic to me), figured I'd give this glove a try. Chose basic black.On the size chart I'm borderline small to regular. Ordered Xtra small. Pretty tight snug fit where I want it to be. Tips of fingers. Finger length is just about spot on. Pinky is slightly too short, but only by a hair. Is it a second skin. Not exactly, however it's relatively close, given it's stated purpose.Feels pretty weird at first, which should be expected. Not weird bad just "oh, this is a bit different." It's comfortable, and you can slide (on the neck) a bit more smoothly. Like coated dental floss heh. Also there's a bit of sonic adjustment required regarding tonality from finger/glove material on string (as opposed to flesh), however it's minor.Putting the glove to the strictest test concerning how usable it is (for me), involved the following. Placement of pinky on second fret high E string and ring finger on 2nd fret B string. Do they rub together, do they mute the notes? Pinky on 2nd fret high E string, Ring finger on 2nd fret G string, open B string btwn. Do pinky or ring rub against and mute the open B string?Thankfully, the answer to the above questions are mostly negative. For the most part, the glove does not interfere with granular micro fingerings on the most delicate strings. Every so often you will need to readjust the arc of your fretting hand to compensate for the additional thickness. However, it's not that often and isn't game breaking.Conclusion, for nickle allergy sufferers this glove is an excellent product. I'd like to see future iterations even thinner and more second-skin like. However, this current version is usable and doesn't make playing unenjoyable. Therefore, I give it 5 stars (really about 4 1/2), bc the glove, and the material it's fabricated from allow me to continue doing what I love. Playing the axe!

とにかく、昔、弾いてたなー、とか、久しぶりに、弾くか、とか、一年に一度だけ、ギター鳴らすか、みたいな人には、重宝します。チョーキングも、痛みが増し。正直、諦めていたギターソロも、弾けるようになりました。おすすめ。

After my Psoriasis moved onto my fingertips, I couldn't play for more than a few minutes at a time before skin would start shredding off and leaving me with pain for days. I simply had to put playing aside for months while going through slow acting treatment. After hearing about these from a friend, I figured, "why not? $9 is worth trying it out".Absolutely, 100% worth it. I can play for extended periods of time and my skin doesn't shred in the slightest now. They don't hinder movement at all and, quite honestly, I forget they are even there (as long as I'm not looking at my hand).A couple of 'oddities':1) The positive feature of the glove removing some friction the fingertips also adds less friction to the palm and thumb. Moving horizontally feels very different to me while wearing the glove and it's something I haven't quite gotten used to.2) You don't build callouses when wearing it. I would reccomend this for either someone having a physical issue with their fingers or very, very early players. Everyone else should probably just go through the discomfort of building their callouses.Using the seller's sizing guide, I sized a Large. I bought a small, just to make sure it was as tight as possible. I'll be picking up a medium to test that fit. Once I find my favorite fit, I'll definitely be making a pair for fingerpicking and bass.
