END STRING BREAKAGE AND TUNING PROBLEMS WITH BIG BENDS NUT SAUCE


Some of the most useful things come in small packages. Such is the case for Big Bends nut sauce guitar lubricant. A must have performance optimization product for all guitars. Created by Inventor/Chemist/Guitarist Jeff Massey of the Big Bends company to address a multitude of issues that guitarists struggle with on a daily basis. So what issues are we talking about?

Tuning problems
String breakage
Excessive wear to parts
Friction

Picture a metal string rubbing across a metal bridge saddle. Not pretty! What you get is wear and tear to both the string and the saddle and the resulting friction will ultimately cause the weaker vessel to fail ala TWANG broken string. Apply some nut sauce and the problem goes away. Even worse is when you use your wammy bar and it just never goes back to where it started out, IN TUNE. Apply some nut sauce and the problem goes away. Eliminate the friction points on the strings and the strings slide through the saddles and nut with ease. This stuff is amazing. Typical application points are saddle string slots, nut slots, string tree's [retainers] roller bar on a Bigsby vibrato where the strings go underneath.

I was hanging out at the TV Jones exhibit at the Namm show playing and checking out Toms brand new Spectrasonic Supreme, which is a stunningly beautiful guitar. I suggested to TV that we take the guitar over to Jeff's booth for some nut sauce, as the Bigsby seemed to be doing what Bigsby's do well, go out of tune. Tom had not heard of nut sauce before but was open to the idea. Tom and I walked across hall E and after I introduced the two guitar pioneers Jeff went to work on the Spectrasonic Supreme. After about 5 minutes of nut sauce application to the bridge saddles, several points on the Bigsby vibrato and the nut, we were on our way back to the TV booth where we plugged in the guitar and experienced immediate gratification. I was able to vigorously use the Bigsby while the guitar stayed in tune. The strings went back to the same position repeatedly. Tom was happy and talking about making nut sauce a stock accessory included with the Spectrasonic Supreme and using it on his high profile rock star customer's guitars which he is responsible for repairs, setups and maintenance. Mainly Gretsch Guitars......cool story thought i would share...ARE YOU SOLD ? go to http://www.trickedoutguitar.com
