A string dampener for clean, noise-free performance and recording.
The Ernie Ball Guitar Headstock String Dampener controls extra noise from guitar strings above the nut. You clip it right on the headstock, where the strings stretch from the tuners to the nut. This simple device is small and easy to fit on almost any guitar. It blocks sounds that can sneak into recordings and live shows, especially when you play with lots of tapping or fast picking. The dampener uses a soft material that touches the strings, so ringing and buzzing stop before they reach your amplifier or microphone. Studio players and anyone who wants a clean sound will notice the difference. You can leave it on during practice, recording, or even a gig—no need to take it off between songs.
Ernie Ball Dampener Helps Players Control String Noise
Session musicians, recording artists, and people who like to play fast all use this dampening tool. The unit is useful for guitarists who want clean notes without weird ringing from loose strings. It works well for tapping and tricks, where extra sounds can mess up your song. You can set up your guitar for recording or shows without worrying about unwanted sounds. Use this gear to keep your music crisp and clear, so every riff and chord sounds just how you want.
Features
- Reduces unwanted string noise for cleaner recordings and performances
- Mutes overtones behind the nut to prevent ringing sounds
- Compact and lightweight design stays out of the way while playing
- Works well for tapping techniques by keeping notes focused and clear
Eliminate unwanted string noise and achieve cleaner tones with the Ernie Ball String Dampener Headstock—perfect for studio recording, live performances, and intricate tapping techniques.
