Questions frequently asked
Is the D'ADDARIO XLR8 compatible with guitar and bass?
It is designed for use with guitar and bass strings. The applicator is used directly on each string with an up-and-down motion.
How to apply a lubricant to guitar strings?
Application is done by moving the applicator up and down on the strings. This action deposits the product to lubricate and clean their surface.
Does the XLR8 reduce finger noise on the strings?
Lubrication reduces friction between fingers and the strings. Noises generated during position changes can thus be diminished.
Does this cleaner help with bends and fast playing?
An immediate smooth feeling is obtained after application on the strings. Bends and fast passages benefit from reduced friction.
Does the string lubricant dry out in its case?
The packaging consists of a sealed metal box that prevents drying out. This format is designed for carrying and storing the product between uses. The box helps maintain the applicator's effectiveness session after session.
