You'd spray it on the strings to make them slippery. Sure, it attracted dirt and oil and assured the strings would only last a week before they suddenly began drawing blood. But on a fresh set of strings it was like fingering a wet, uh, grapefruit. I used to use it myself when I first became aware of it . True story. I have seen Joe Pass back stage spray a rag and wipe Finger Ease on his guitar strings and finger board before a gig to give him some slippery .

When I finally gave up using The Black Diamond Barbed Wire Signature edition of strings , I eventually found E B Slinkys . Took me years to go from 9 's to 10's .

I tried WD-40. a number of time ...Finger Ease and WD used to leave some gunk .On a Maple Tele neck , as it built up over time it would turn areas of my guitar neck into patches of spotty black sticky oil spills In my case I found lighter fluid to work better for my needs . Lighter fluid evaporated unlike WD and it didn't attract dust and leave a layer of finger grime .... I have also used rubbing alcohol when I didn't have anything else around nice talking w you guys , Kenny Edited February 27, 2022 by kennywtelejazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
