Checking Out Guitto String Dampeners | What Do They Actually Do?

The folks at Guitto recently sent me a couple of their GGF-03 String Dampeners with Pick Holders to check out, so in this video I take a first look at them and share some initial impressions. Guitto String Dampener https://amzn.to/4ekrSeC Price range: $12.99 to $15.99 (depending on color) Now, I'll be honest—string dampeners aren't something I use very often. In fact, I told the folks at Guitto that before they sent them over. But after spending some time with them, I thought it would be worth sharing what I found. In this review, I compare the Guitto dampeners to a budget string dampener I've used in the past, look at the overall construction and design, and demonstrate a couple of common ways string dampeners are used. As always, I'd love to hear from you. Do you use string dampeners? If so, what do you use them for? Acoustic guitars, electric guitars, studio work, live performance, or something else entirely? Let me know in the comments.
