Nut Lube

[ewill52]

This thread should supply an ample number of jokes. The intro wasn't subtle or nuanced.

All jokes aside, what are you using? Big Bends Nut Sauce? Graphite? 3-in-1? Going dry?

 

[MetalHeadMike]

You really opened the door on this one...

 

[Dan Gleesak]

I still just use a mechanical pencil

 

[Bardagh]

I’m currently using the Music Nomad one, which works well. Really I started using it instead of the Big Bends because I don’t like the weird little tube it comes in.

MetalHeadMike has some secret sauce.

I watched a great video last night that highlighted some phenomenal nut lube, but I think I'd get banned if I post it.

Post it or it’s Crisco.

I prefer to call it OTC grease.

I've been using Big Bends for a few years now ...... seems to work pretty good for me

Still using a tube of Big Bends from at least 15 years ago

Stewmac guitar grease.

+1 on the pencil lead
The dry lube you can get for door locks works great too.

Crisco burns, coconut oil is a lot better.

Edit: Just tried it, Crisco's ok, must have been a bad batch that left that memory scar.

I just have my wife lick it

Big bends and or Graphite dust. Never thought of the pencil. Wayyy cheaper. Also. Good nuts go a long way if a cheap one is on the guitar or the “good one” doesn’t seem to do the job.

Big Bends for the win.

 

[JackBootedThug]

graphite shavings in red grease. when I feel like it. Archoil gun lube is killer as well.

Big Bends Nut Sauce for me. Just recently got some and started using it.

Eaker's magic Snake Oil. You can put it in your bridge, your ass, nut with it, whatever. $70/oz. Pm me for your bottle. Takes me a little bit to fill the bottle, but i will get it to you as quick as I can.

Two kinds– Music Nomad’s Tune-It and Superlube

When I change strings I rub some Tune-It in the nut slots and under the string tree if it’s a Strat, once the strings are on I dab the tip of the Superlube tube on top of the strings over the nut slots, then on top of the strings on the saddles, let it chill a little bit or go nuts on the bar to get the lube working into/around the string. I’d be fine without the Superlube but it takes all of 10 seconds and I can do all the dumb shit I want on a standard Strat trem without tuning issues.
