Yes. I've bought a guitar body and some miscellaneous parts from WD
Music. They are a good, reliable vendor.

The concept of NUT SAUCE is simple -
a.. Stop the string drag or friction at the nut and string guides.
b.. Reduce string breakage at the bridge and saddles by reducing friction
and wear from the see-saw action of hard playing, especially with a thick
pick.
Well, it's no secret that guitar players for years have used pencil lead,
Vaseline, lip balm, and many other things to help keep their guitars in
tune. With a technical background that extends to lubricants, Big Bends
approached the problem with a scientific perspective and finally created NUT
SAUCE. The criteria was simple - it had to be non-toxic, non-corrosive,
created with state-of-the-art lubricants, could not affect the finish of
your guitar, and had to be so thick that it would stay where you put it
(that means in the nut slots, under the string guides or on the bridge or
saddles). NUT SAUCE meets this criteria and more.

I've never heard of anything like whats decribed above. Does this idea work
well enough (staying in tune) to spend the bucks on?
Again, looking for feedback.
Thanks....again ;-)

WD?? Of course! For years, they were the only game in town when it came to
Custom pickguards and accessories. I have a bunch of their things.
Honestly, I haven't ordered from them in a while - they were kind of the
last to get a website, but, the stuff I have is great.

Until my tech installed a well cut Delrin nut, which seems to do the trick
as well, I used a mixture of Trombone slide grease and graphite (not pencil
lead). I could put it in the slots of the nut and wipe the rest away,
leaving it just where I wanted it. Having black inside the nut slots didn't
even show up from a few feet away, and it worked nearly perfectly (nothing
is perfect where Strat trems are concerned). :-) Haven't tried nut sauce
yet, but I probably will soon. Sounds like a good idea to me.

My TDPRI buddy, Terry Downs,
who's both a very good picker
and a full-fledged engineer,
swears by that stuff. I
should try it myself -- whole
step bends from the second
fret tend to result in my "G"
string going out of tune from
getting hung up in its slot
as I release the bend.

Hippy,
W.D. is a very reputable company,there is one problem though and that
is that they are located in ft. Myers Fla where a hurricane just tore
the shit out of their building as I understand.I could be wrong but I
don't think they are running right now but My Dad lives in ft myers and
knows all those guys so i could probably find out easily.(I think an e
mail would solve that question as well)
Hope this helps,
Dave Liles

If the nut groove is filed nicely, you shouldn't even need lube. There are
at least a couple theories on what shape they should be. One is that they
should be slightly hourglass-shaped when viewed from above:
)( )( )( )( )( )(
And the other I've heard suggests a rather square-ish shape to them, rather
than round, so that there is a minimum of material contacting the string (I
can't figure out how to draw that with text).
Personally, I use the hourglass idea, and my otherwise-stock whammy Strat
(.009-.046) stays in tune very nicely. I tune it before I start a four-hour
gig, and rarely have to touch it again all night. I don't use the whammy on
every song, but I'm not the least bit afraid of it going out of tune if I
do, because it doesn't. It stays in tune as well as I could wish it to,
bends, bombs, harmonic screams, whatever.
Now if I could only figure out how to keep my frets from wearing out...

I bought a set of lefty Klusons from them a coupla years ago that
displayed a factory gear defect. After notifying them about the issue,
they acknowledged the problem and sent me not one, but TWO more sets of
tuners to allow me to pick six good ones out. This was at *no charge.*
I couldn't find six out of eighteen, so they refunded my money in full
after that (without asking for any returns).
Far and away the best customer service I've ever experienced...
Hippy
a pick guard that I want and they are the only ones that I can find that
have it.
Thanks again
Wayne Bjorken
Sure. They're good. Also consider:
and if you ever want a custom pickguard:
and of course
warmouth is great for necks and bodies.
