Max GSC10 - 360° Action String Cleaning Tool for Guitar and Bass
Maintaining a bright tone and a fresh feel on your instrument no longer requires constant string changes or harsh chemicals. The Max GSC10 String Cleaning Tool is the ultimate solution for the modern musician who values both their sound and their time. This compact and revolutionary accessory has been meticulously designed to eliminate the natural enemies of your strings: sweat, body oils, dust, and dirt accumulated after every practice session or performance.
Unlike traditional cloths that only clean the top surface, the Max GSC10's intelligent system offers a 360-degree deep clean . Its ergonomic, clamshell design hugs the strings completely, simultaneously cleaning the top, sides, and, most importantly, the underside where invisible corrosion accumulates and kills your tone. Thanks to its high-quality, laser-cut microfiber pads, this device traps microscopic particles without the need for liquids, oils, or sprays that could damage your fretboard finish or guitar varnish.
Its versatility is one of its strongest points. The mechanism adapts perfectly to the string spacing of virtually any electric, acoustic, classical, and even 4- and 5-string electric bass guitar. Furthermore, it's an eco-friendly and economical tool in the long run: the pads are washable and reusable, meaning you won't generate disposable waste after each use. Simply slide, close, and run it along the neck to revive your instrument in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you clean microfiber pads?
It's very simple. Just rinse the tool with warm water and a small drop of liquid hand soap. Gently rub the microfiber to release trapped dirt, rinse well, and let it air dry. No refills are required.
Does it work for 5 or 6 string basses?
Yes, the Max GSC10 is compatible with bass guitars. Although the device covers a standard width, you can clean it in two quick passes if your instrument has a very wide neck or more strings than usual.
Do I need to apply any additional string cleaning fluid?
It's not necessary. The microfiber is designed for effective dry cleaning. However, if you prefer to use a specific string lubricant (such as Fast Fret or similar), you can apply it after using the GSC10 for extra protection, but the primary cleaning is done by the tool itself.
Can it damage the frets?
Not at all. The design is intended to glide over the strings. The microfiber is soft and non-abrasive, so it's safe for the frets and fretboard.
