Guitar Grease

will make any string slide over the nut, like it was greased up with butter, only better:-)

That was my first reaction when I saw the container. It's tiny!

Then, I got a tootpick, treated four guitars and a bass, and realized that this container will probably last the rest of my natural life.

As I'm 67, that's not as bold a claim as it might seem at first blush. However, I'd probably say the same thing if I were 50 years old.

Best thing about this? It's graphite, in a 'waxy' carrier. Won't evaporate, like oil, doesn't drip and run onto parts of the guitar that don't like that, and if you have to do some file work on your nut (white ones, at least) you can really see where you've removed material and where you haven't.

Ok, you could do much the same thing with a pencil. (I think they still use graphite in pencils.) I've done it.

But, for six bucks, I like this stuff better.

After I got this, I am having very little tuning issues. The small container contains enough grease to last for more than a year.I suggest use this on a bone nut instead of those widely advertised graphite nuts, that way one gets the best of both worlds- Bone for tone , and tuning stability with the grease. Great stuff.

I apply this with a toothpick - and it doesn't take much.

Strings slide through the nut much easier - notes dont jump when tuning - strings return to pitch after bends -
Simple item to overlook, but you'll be glad you have it if you buy it.

A+

Works better than I thought but I wish it was more of a brushable paste and not something that needs to be applied with a mini spatula.

I used to have to use 6B pencil shavings to prevent my strings sticking on the nut of my Heritage H575 whilst tuning.
This is just as effective but more convenient to store and use.
Some complain about the price but so little is required the tub should last for years and years.
Great stuff.

After applying this grease to my Superstrat Godin Freeway Classic, it stays in tune perfectly with tremolo!
Rock On Stewmac!

Dip a strap buttons' screw in this before you install the button and it will not snap off, soap and wax works too :) I also dip all strings in the grease before I install them in a Floyd Rose trem, prolongs string life, cheers.

I use this on every set-up.
