Guitar Glove Bass Glove XLW - 2 Gloves - Finger & Hand issues

Definitely helps to protect fingers. I can play for longer. Fingers even glides easier on guitar strings. Make sure to buy a smaller size, in order for it to fit more snuggly. Doesn't take time to get used to.

I have been playing guitar for approaching 60 years at semi and pro levels. I have not needed and in fact was unaware that guitar gloves even existed.I have recently undergone 12 sessions of chemotherapy which has left my skin rather thin, cuts take ages to heal and the fingertips which had developed strong callouses are now vulnerable. Neuropathy is also a problem but less so if the hands are warm. I was sceptical that these would work for a lead guitarist such as myself, but they do and what’s more they work well. I can only assume that the player who gave them one star got the wrong size, they need to be tight so go down a size. I’ve found no problem soloing at speed and chords are no problem. There’s also no colouration to the sound.I am really pleased I found these and although I probably won’t use them for a live performance they are perfect for rebuilding my finger strength and dexterity. Can’t praise them enough.

Due to a nerve problem I was looking for gloves that would cover my hands to both play guitar and do other tasks needing fine motor skills. Touch in single spots causes my hands to cramp and seize up. After 35 years of playing guitar I did not expect to ever play again. These gloves work great, they are close fitting enough to play even the delicate of chords or note runs. Even to the point that you are able to tap harmonics. As my needs go beyond guitar I wear all day with comfort.If you need a real skin fit or to tighten the gloves at any point hit them with a hair dryer while on keeping your hand still until they have cooled. This gives slight adjustment for a real skin fit. It also loosens the glove in areas where it is a little tight.I have ordered more, I hope of the very same product shipped from amazon UK stoke. Seems to be the same seller and make but until I receive those I highly recommend these, for both simply playing guitar but move so for those with nerve issues looking for gloves that both allow full hand usage while also stimulating full hand nerves.

As a bass player I always struggled with finger style playing because of the uneven tone I got so I principally played with plectrum or just index finger.With these gloves I can easily achieve even tone from index and middle fingers. You do still need to keep the nails short as the gloves are very snug.If used on the fretting hand they virtually eliminate string noise on round wound strings when sliding.My only issue is with the product listing which does not give the full range of size measurements. Such an easy thing for the retailer to do as they are listed on the product packaging. From base to tip of middle finger:XS = 7.3cm or lessS = 7.3 to 7.97 cmM = 8.57 cmL = 9.21 cmXL = 9.52 cmIt really is better to go one size smaller to get a good snug fit. The material is very stretchy.

As a bassist and suffering with arthritis in my hands I decided to give these a try, mainly for my fretting hand. I followed the recommended sizing and to ensure a snug fit, ordered a size down. What you get looks like two left gloves, given the writing in the top of the hand. The gloves feel comfortable enough to wear and they did help while I was playing.However, as soon as I put them on you could see that the seams were not very well finished, particularly between the thumb and first finger. After just an hour of use the first glove developed what looked like a tear or ladder along the little finger and the seam opened up between the thumb and first finger. Switching to the second glove and after just another two hours of use a hole opened up on the first finger at the tip. All in all these two gloves lasted less than 4 hours before starting to come apart and that was only with light practice. I also use flatwound strings so the wear from those should have been minimal.Absolutely not worth the money paid for the amount of use I got from them.

Bought smaller size as recommended - but does not leave fingers fully free. Some slight limitation on spread.Wears quite quickly, especially plucking fingers. If mainly one finger then about 6 - 10 hours; two finger plucking = 10 - 20 hours - depending on technique.Fretting fingers a little better - but index and smallest finger suffer from extending slides (I only have three fretting fingers - so more noticable).However, it does extend the time I can practice and play. I can now cope with 1 hour sets and even up to 2 hour sets (not that I would recommend this). I dont notice too much when playing.It is better than using superglue.
