GALAXY GUITAR PRODUCTS USA STARTED THE GUITAR FINGER PROTECTOR INDUSTRY IN 1996.
Our Founder Guitarist Randy Young started to make his own Guitar finger protectors in 1976 way before the internet in Port St. Lucie Florida when he was 17 years young after meeting Black Sabbath Guitarist Tony Iommi who showed him his finger protectors one late night in Miami after a studio session. Randy became obsessed with trying to make protectors for his own use for years. He moved back to New York an continued to make his protectors to get them just right. There was something pushing him. As fate would have it- 30 years later that Obsession became an important resource for injured Musicians around the world. The full story can be found on the "About Us" Page. The Galaxy FT-1 Finger Protector™ is sold as one. When you require the Best Guitar Finger Protector for a serious finger injury that has healed or painful sensitivity condition there is only one professional choice for advanced or beginner players The Galaxy FT-1 Finger Protector™.

WHAT MAKES GALAXY GUITAR FINGER PROTECTORS UNIQUE:
Our Guitar Finger Protectors are strong & fexible. They are made for a serious finger injury where the tip of your finger is missing or to sensitve to press down or bend steel strings. No other Guitar Finger Protector has our Ultra-Flex Formula we developed. Galaxy Guitar Finger Protectors can even be heated with a blow dryer on low heat to soften & expand the core slightly if you need a bit more room. This will not compromise the strength of the protector. You can spend $7,500 for a Prosthetic, will it be strong & tailored for Musical Instrument Playing? No, soft silicone has to be replaced every few years as well when it dries out, rips or cracks. A medical prosthetic is more expensive & does not have the down-force strength or a grip to play an instrument. You can spend $10.00 for silicone or plastic toy finger guards, will they stop pain & sensitivity from a severe injury? No. Seasoned musicans & those starting to learn will need a strong protector that lasts & can standup to the many demands of individual players. Bending strings, playing fast, sliding over frets, chord positions. These all take time to master, once you do master them you will be glad you invested in a Professional Finger Protector & you took serious steps to over come your finger condition. Galaxy FT-1 the #1 Finger Protector For Injured Musicians On Planet Earth. Thousands less than a Finger Prosthesis. Our FT-1 Finger Protector™, FT-1XL & FT-2 Finger Extensions™ provide unsurpassed protection from an injury or sensitivity. If you are serious about resolving your finger challenge We are serious about providing you the tool to accomplish that Goal.

HOW WE MAKE GUITAR FINGER PROTECTORS & EXTENSIONS:
Meticulous hard work goes into making each FT-1 Finger Protector, FT-1 XL & FT-2 Finger Extension. The intricate process was created by Galaxy Founder Guitarist Randy Young. Our Tech's spend 7 hours over 4 days making each Galaxy Finger Protector in batches or 1 at a time Custom Orders. Our Unique Ultra-Flex cores are fabricated then a special wash is applied to sanitize them. Precise cutting & permanment bonding of our exterior grip is next so it lasts you years sliding over guitar frets & steel strings & impacting fretboards for years. A Technician must spend at least 1 hour applying the bonding & pressure by hand to get the external & interior grip to adhere to the Ultra-Flex surface- Not Easy. A Glass or plastic plug is inserted inside to bond the interior grip on our FT-1 Protectors. Once it does bond it is placed with others in a Jig to apply full pressure for 24 hours until the bonding is cured & strong. Hours of meticulous fine detailing follows throughout the entire process. Another cleaning of the core interior & exteriors in preparation for painting. 4 coats of special non irritant paint are hand applied heat cured between coats. 4 coats of our special strong water base clearcoat heat cured between coats are then applied to the exterior & finger entrance producing a durable exterior gloss finish. Once fully cured we continue to file the surfaces of the exterior strip to make it smooth. Our Finger Protectors & Extensions are reinspected, the interior is sanitized again allowed to air dry then they are packaged & shipped out helping another injured Musician around the world. Your Galaxy FT-1, FT-1 XL, FT-2 is crafted by a Guitarist in the United States not stamped out of a machine in a foreign land. Surgeon's, Insurance & Prosthetic Companies contact us to form a Finger Protector for their Musician clients. It's Your Finger & certainly worth having the highest standard of Finger Protection. Our unique Ultra-Flex Formula will even expand when heated on low heat with a blow dryer. If you are a Bass Player-Let us know at checkout. We have Protectors fabricated with extra wide exterior grips ready to ship, naturally at no extra cost. Need your finger length back? Our FT-1 XL & FT-2 Longer Extensions provide the same strong protection with added length to help you. They also include an Exterior Grip. FT-2 Includes optional simunlated finger nail. Once you're used to the Galaxy Protector or Extension it will get you back to playing in comfort. We do not make guarantees that may not be realistic for every client. It is up to your patience & determination just like learning your musical instrument these are Keys to success & accomplishment with your new Finger Protector or Extension.

Custom Ordered FT-1 XL Finger Extensions.
I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone at Galaxy Guitar Products. The superb customer service and professionalism with your company is second to none. The FT-1 finger protectors are absolutely amazing and after some practice with them I am playing quite well, even slides and bends. After a massive heart attack and months in the hospital I lost two fingertips on my left hand, three on my right hand and both legs below the knees. As I went through several months of physical and occupational therapy and two surgeries on my fingers, the reality that I may never play Guitar again was very hard to accept since I have been playing most of my life. The FT-1 finger protectors have allowed me to play my Guitars again. I am so thankful I found your company that puts your customers first and provides such a valuable service for musicians.
My 4th Order a Custom Galaxy FT-1 Finger Protector. Thank you so much and please let owner Randy Young know I am very grateful and humbled by his generosity. These finger protectors have brought me a great deal of happiness. I cannot say enough good things about your company, customer service and products.
James Welch. Green Cove Springs, Florida.
Hello, I recently received my Galaxy Custom Made FT-1 XL. I already love it. Thank you so much, I'm still getting used to it, but within an hour of playing I am already getting the feel. I wish I would’ve known about this product in 1992 when my finger accident happened. It would’ve saved me countless hours of severely painful playing, and would’ve helped so much with the depression I was feeling. The fear of never being able to play like I did before the accident, and the fear of losing the ability to do the one thing in life I am most passionate about had me way down in the dumps. This product would’ve given me some much needed hope. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has lost a finger and who loves playing music like I do. It almost immediately felt like a natural extension to the fingertip I lost.
Thank you! Brian Olson. Financial Advisor At Edward Jones. Fairfield, Iowa.
Prosthetic Company: Dear Randy, We delivered our second Galaxy Guitar Finger Extension Today. It fit him perfectly. He was so excited. He wants to play the Erhu with it a Chinese violin. Just wanted to share this with you as maybe you had not heard of this before like me. Thank you for all you do!
Sandra Bross & Associates Prosthetics http://brossandassociates.com/
This is a Repeat Order from my 8th & recent Custom Orders, please make exactly the same as the others in Flesh Tone. I would like to thank you in advance once again for your great service and a product that has changed my musical life! Johnny V. Lachmeyer Sr. Valley Stream, Long Island New York.
Just a huge thank you to Galaxy Guitars for all the fantastic service and follow up on my order you guys really went the extra mile, my order arrived yesterday and I am extremely happy with the FT-1 finger tips and the plectrums gift included in the package. Well done you guys Rock. Kind Regards, Nigel Camara, South Africa.
This FT-1 XL is a very cool product that you all make. It felt good to play in standard tuning again. Open G is fun and all, but this will be so much better. Thank you for your help! Sam Arena, Zionsville, Indiana.
Took a little practice, but I am getting used to it now. No way could I play without it. My finger is still numb and the grafted skin is very thin and sensitive. Thanks. Fred Miller, Baritone Ukulele Player. Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Violinist: I have received my FT-1 today. Day 1 I can see it will make a huge positive impact in my violin playing.
More free from the effect of my finger injury.
Kind Regards, Irene Shin. United Kingdom.
I just ordered a Galaxy FT-1 Protector for my client who lost his fingertip in an auto fan blade accident. I am writing this on his behalf and just wanted to let you know that my client's frustration level has practically disappeared completely. He feels it won't be very long that it will entirely disappear for good. The protector you guys have provided him has literally opened up his creative path. He will not be selling his stringed instruments now, thanks to you. Cheers.
Jon Sepulveda, Watch Resources, Inc. Supported Living. Sonora, California. http://www.watchresources.org
I'm really impressed with this product after an injury like mine. Losing part of two of my fingers is not a good thing so playing the guitar again is like a rebirth for me! The adaptation process is fast. The Galaxy FT-1 Ultra Flex fits perfectly. You have to be patient to get used to them. Of course it is the solution. Thank's to the Galaxy staff for their attention in every moment I needed. Greetings from Spain! Raúl Buil Nasarre. Professional Guitarist.
This is a re-order. I am currently on my 3rd FT-1 and they are still in good shape but I want to have spares on hand.
Thanks for the great product. It allows me to play. Without it I would not be able to. Please send a flesh tone color.
Steve Hartley. Westminster, California.
I was repairing a piece of electronic gear, trying to remove some epoxy from a circuit board, the razor blade slipped slicing into my fingertip and out the other side through my fingernail. After my finger healed for the first time in 10 years I could no longer play it was devastating. Literally losing sleep wondering if playing guitar was gone forever. I discovered the Galaxy FT-1 on line. I was willing to try it to be able to play the guitar again. Although it felt quite foreign I realized instantly that there was no pain. Now the FT-1 is an extension of my own finger minus the pain. I can fret, bend notes just like before. Thank you so much Galaxy. Grant Ostergard. Dallas, Texas.
Thank You Galaxy For My Custom FT-2 Finger Extension! I lost my ring finger up to the metacarpophalangeal joint years ago working on a large ship propeller. I continued to play my Bass Guitar but could not excel to a higher level, I play Jazz & Rock. I contacted many Prosthetic companies who wanted to fly in to size me for a 2 inch finger prosthetic only they wanted thousand$. I could not afford that. My friend found Galaxy Guitar Products after doing a Tony Iommi search online. Even though I lost more of the finger than Tony, I found Galaxy a God send. After a few emails back & forth to Galaxy's technical team who were very helpful, I ordered my custom made FT-2 Finger extension. After 8 weeks I am now more than able to work it into my playing and grateful I took action. It did take me weeks to become used to it. I am proud I had that determination to do so. Thank You Galaxy Guitar Products Team for working with my photos an giving me the attention to get me using all 4 fingers once again. Anders Jansson, Stockholm, Sweden.
Banjo Player: I’m so happy!!!!! My FT-1 Finger Protector Fits like a glove right out of the box and it’s like I have nothing on my finger! Love it love it love it! I’m sending a small video, I will be ordering more like I mentioned to have spares for backup just in case I lose one. You will be getting another order shortly. Thank you so much for your stellar service. Much appreciated. Robert Whissell, Ontario, Canada.
Custom Ordered 3 Galaxy Finger Protectors & 1 FT-1 XL 1 inch diameter Finger Extension: My order was received on the projected date and time which was awesome. I had some time to try them out over the weekend and that went pretty good, I realize with practice and patience will definitely get better. Thanks to all staff involved for their individual talents and excellent communications in getting this order prepared and delivered to me. I will definitely promote Galaxy Guitar Products USA. Once again Thank You. Sincerely Bill. William Connolly. Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Hey Galaxy! Thanks for the finger extension (protector). It works great! Already getting used to a normal length middle finger. Vaughn Balchunas. Bellingham, Washington.
Galaxy, Thanks! Works great, I'm back in the saddle again!
Edward J Hines. Edward Hines Music, Wendell, Massachusetts.
I was playing guitar for about one year when I accidentally had the tips of my left middle and ring fingers chopped off in a lawn mower accident. Even though I was not an accomplished player I was pleased with the progress I was making with the guitar. I had a skin graft done. To this day the pain continues to exist especially in the winter. Obviously, I was devastated that I could not play guitar anymore. I put band aids on my fingers with the hope that the cushion would protect my injury & stop the pain. I realized it would not work. My injured fingers could not grip the strings. I have been an avid Black Sabbath fan and knew that Tony Iommi had a serious injury to the same fingers that I did. My search led me to Galaxy Guitar Products. I saw there was an affordable product available. I eagerly purchased two FT-1's. After a month I became used to the FT-1's more and more. Now the feeling I have is very natural. I feel blessed I have another opportunity to play again. Without this product I would not be able to play the guitar period. Thanks to everyone at Galaxy Guitar Products! Joe Kramer. Grandville, Michigan.
I want to thank you Galaxy for the FT-1 Protector. With 4 sold out New Years shows and a badly cut finger the outlook was bleak. The Galaxy FT-1 worked great and the shows went on. Was I at 100%? No but I could play enough not to have cancelled. The 10,000 people over 4 days thank you as well. I'd love to write a testimonial for your site if I could, Thanks Again. Rob Eaton. Dark Star Orchestra.
After a hot day of work and a few beers, while trying to trailer A Bull Dozer, my left index finger got pinched between a track and a large chain link. Needless to say, the end of my finger was crushed and left very sensitive. I became a lawyer at age 50. As a reward to myself, I decided to take up guitar this year at 53. I was concerned about my finger. The finger is so sensitive I can't play, or so I thought. Along comes a God send, the Galaxy FT-1 Finger Protector. This thing is awesome! It fits perfectly on my finger and the engineering is so precise and well done that I can actually play my guitar-without pain! Awesome!! Thomas Doherty Doyle, Esq. Chelmsford, Maine.
Banjo Player: In a freak accident while hitching up our travel trailer, I amputated my left index finger just above the base of my fingernail. I play banjo, guitar and mandolin, so needless to say I was totally distraught fearing that I would never be able to play again. I began researching finger prosthetics on the internet and found Galaxy Guitars FT-1 finger protector. After reading all the testimonials, I was concerned if it would work for female sized fingers as well. I called and spoke with a tech about the FT-1. He was very helpful and answered my questions. I immediately ordered one even though I knew it would be quite a while before my finger was healed. I could wait no longer. I put it on for the first time, after only 3 evenings of 20 minutes sessions I am able to hit all my old licks on the banjo and with no pain! I have also worked a little with the guitar and mandolin with equal success. I am so pleased after only 3 sessions with the FT-1 that I have ordered a second one. My husband and I play bluegrass professionally, but we play out of passion for the music. The thought of never playing again was devastating. Now I know that it will be music as usual! THANK YOU GALAXY GUITARS FOR THE FT-1!!! Sue Davis. Macon, Georgia.
I ordered the Galaxy FT-1 Finger Protector, I had not been able to play my guitar in over a year after losing 1/2 inch of my ring finger in an accident at work. After pushing it on my finger I proceeded to try an play my guitar. What happened next brought a smile to my face that has not left yet. I could play! After a few weeks of practicing, I have regained most of my playing skills. You never know how much you take something for granted until you lose it. Thank You Galaxy from the bottom of my heart for giving me another chance to play again!!! Greg White. Attleboro, Massachusetts.
