Big Bends Nut Sauce Review 

It is still going strong after 8 months and definitely is the best thing I have tried over the years. Glad the video helped you out.

Yes I would recommend it, it seems to last until next string change as well

@@theroomofrock6456 nice just ordered it, it will be nice to stay in tune with the Strats trem for once!

I have since fitted a Graphtech nut to the Strat (when I refretted it) and tried the guitar without Nut Sauce and was hoping the guitar would stay in tune but it didn't. Put on some Nut Sauce and now it is really stable even with the tremolo use. I think you will find it really helps you out. Good luck.

so how'd it go??

Hi, yes it does work long term. I give it another going over every time I change strings but that is all.

@@theroomofrock6456 thank you I will try this!!

I will have to give that a try

They were a cheap unbranded set from somewhere like All Parts, years ago. They are good and very smooth but they are a bit fiddly to lock. I would go for Vanson rear locking ones if I was doing it again. On this Strat I did have to drill out to around 10mm to accommodate.

It might work, but it is designed for a much different working environment (all metal components), I would be worried about it having something in it that might damage the finish with time. I use to go and see a band called The Hamsters and Snail Pace Slime use to spray his nut with WD40 , which I always thought must be really messy!

The Room of Rock Yeah, there was quite a lot of guitarists that use bicycle chain lube on there. They said it was very safe to use without effecting the guitars finish and without discolouration to the nut. Some of them have been using it successfully for years. WD40 is a big NoNo for me 😂. But I’ll definitely give clear chain lube a try at some point.

It does last a while, but benefits from a little more after a few months

@@theroomofrock6456 i have a harlry benton same thing happens when i use the wilkson trem

@@jesterraj Give it go, the trem on my Squire is a Wilkinson one and it certainly helped that return to pitch

I would say it lasted a few months

It lasted until string change. Interestingly I fitted a Graphtec Nut (which you can see me do in my refret video) and even with that the old plastic nut with added Nut Sauce was better for holding tune, so I will treat the new nut to some Nut Sauce as well. I think every time you change strings is often enough.

@@theroomofrock6456 Thank you very much. That was a fast response.

This one has got locking tuners on and the next thing on my list is a Graphtec nut, but I do like the simplicity of the original design and its ease of string change. I am not a heavy tremolo user these days. In the 80's I wouldn't hit a note without depressing the whammy bar. I blame Eddie Van Halen!

Or is it just the once with new strings

Definitely Gary, When I tried the strings on some of the guitars had been on a while. It will help as long as the strings aren't really old and shot.

@@theroomofrock6456 thanks so much I appreciate that awesome buddy

Martin, a couple of things worth checking with a Les Paul and I would think it is the D and G strings that are giving the most problems, are the nut slots wide enough so the strings you are using, so that the string slides through without resistance if they are slightly tight you can use the wet and dry paper trick I mention in the video to widen them very slightly. The other thing is if the nut were fitted or set by a luthier or guitar tech they angle the slots slightly to aim them more at the relevant machine head. The Nut Sauce worked well on my Epiphone Les Paul and SG stopped all the pinging and clicking at the nut when tuning.

The Room of Rock yes it is the D & G. I’m taking it back to the guitar tech to see if he can correct the issue. Thanks for the videos - keep them coming! 👍

@@martinforward188 I am sure it will only be the nut needing a slight adjustment and thank you

It might work, but it could be a bit messy. I have to say I have been very impressed with this as it is still working fine on the Strat tremolo after all these months.
