hey,

I have been searching all over and cant find any...do any of you guys know where i can get a pair of those long wrist band things that stop your arm getting sweaty when it rubs with the guitar. The only guy I can think of who wears them famously is james Hetfield. Any website suggestions where I can get some from or even if they have an actual name so I can find some myself would be a great Help!

Thanks

Just go to an athletic store and look in the baseball or tennis sections.

Edit: After failing to notice that you are from England from the start, you can probably strike the baseball idea.

i know what he's talking about... why do you care if your arms get sweaty?

I dont really care about my arms getting sweaty, its just that sometimes i 'stick' to my guitar and it reduces my movement. Also it leaves dried sweat on my guitar

^ You shouldn't be resting your arm on the guitar. That reduces your movement way more that sweat sticking ever will.

Well, I would suggest that you pick one or the other. Most users, and the mods, dont like it too much when you double post, so I would avoid doing it if at all possible.

My little brother wears them casually (go figure) and he finds them pretty much at either sporting stores or even just a Wal-Mart or something; you just have to know where to look.
