• Solid Bond Releases the "String Spreader" – A Handy Tool for Holding Loosened Strings Out of the Way!

  

  2026/07/31

  Solid Bond has released the SB-SS String Spreader, a new tool designed to make guitar and bass maintenance significantly easier!
  By placing the curved section against the back of the neck and hooking the loosened strings into each end, you can temporarily move the strings off the fretboard. By securely holding the strings at two points—near the upper and lower sections of the neck—it eliminates the hassle of the strings popping back into place while you work.
  You can perform tasks such as applying fretboard oil, polishing frets, and adjusting the nut much more efficiently without having to remove the strings from the tuning pegs. Available in four colors—Black, Red, Blue, and Green—this handy tool will make your maintenance routine much more convenient. Be sure to check it out!
