D'Addario Accessories LubriKit Friction Remover

This stuff works in easing the stable tuning of the guitar. I only use hard tail guitars, so the main thing is to get the nut cut properly so it don't bind the string. Then, I use some 1500 grit to smooth the slot so when I use this friction remover, the tuning is stable and it doesn't matter if you tune up or down to pitch because there is near zero binding. This little tube will last me 1-2 years, and I have 10 guitars in constant rotation for 200 gigs a year.

- Easy to refill - useful tool

Good quality lube. The brushes are not great and broke almost immediately.

Fantastic. Says what it does and does what it says. Simple and quick solution to narrow nut slots provided they're not too narrow in which case you'll have to use nut files to properly size the slots. Slight, barely perceptible string bind is eliminated and your back in business.

While people assume that tuning problems are related exclusively to poor tuners, there are several other contact points between the bridge and tuners that are a more likely cause of tuning issues. If you hear a "plinking" sound as you tune a string (or while bending), that's the sound of the string getting caught up on the nut or string trees, which then causes it to go out of tune. There are several lubricant options available on the market. You can also use graphite from a pencil as a dry lubricant, and I've even heard of people using Vasoline/Chap Stick mixed with other things. But for a slight premium, the Planet Waves Lubricant works extremely well. You get syringe contain lubricant, and two applicator wands/brushes that can fit in the small grooves of the nut. Also apply it in the bridge saddles or anywhere else the string makes contact. It'd be nice to get more lubricant for the money, but use in moderation and it should last for awhile. Works well.

does what its suposted to do lube yp friction points on the guitar

The B string on my acoustic was getting bound in the nut, making it difficult to tune and making that dreaded "ping" when trying to do so. Used a little of this in the nut groove and problem solved! I like the syringe as it makes it easy and mess-free to dispense the product. The two different sized swabs make it neat and easy to get the lubricant into the nut groove and only in the groove (not all over your nut, fret board or headstock). The lube itself is a fairly thick gel consistency, so again, neat and easy. Doesn't drip or run and stays where you put it. You could use the syringe to apply the product directly into the nut, but I applied a tiny bit to the smaller swab and then used the swab to apply it to the nut groove. No mess, no fuss, no more string binding! You use so little of the product that I would imagine this tube will last years.

I can't NOT use the Bigsby on my Gretsch however nothing can keep it in tune. A little of this in the nut and bridge keeps it in tune so well I wind up using the Bigsby even more! It does darken your tone slightly, which I like but others may not. I haven't tried Big Bends Nut Sauce (a similar product) but with the Planet Waves working so well for nearly half the price, I don't feel the need to. Great product! Fast shipping and best price from Amazon vendor cheapbandstuff.

C'est excellent pour le sillet , les cordes glisses très facilement et la graisse demeure là très longtemps aussi.Je le recommande grandement.XXXXX

Hò risolto tutti i problemi di tenuta accordatura della mia fender Jimi hendryx anche con un uso intensivo della leva eccezionale

Great stuff. Sorts out a catching nut and so greatly improves tuning stability. You don't get a lot but you don't need a lot and it lasts for ages after each application.

En general lo que viene es una jeringa como a la mitad del producto pero rinde bastante, hasta la fecha no se me ha terminado.

Das Produkt dient dazu, die Reibung der Saiten an aufliegenden Punkten (Sattel; Brücke) zu verringern, um die Stimmstabilität zu verbessern - und das funktioniert! Deutlich weniger Nachstimmen nach harten Bendings und exzessiven malträtieren des Vibratos/Tremolos. Außerdem klingen die Saiten nach der Anwendung deutlich hörbar besser und kraftvoller (Ton und Sustain). Die Idee ist nicht neu und manche Gitarristen schwören auf das Graphit eines simplen Bleistifts, ich suchte aber nach einer moderneren Lösung und wurde hier fündig. Das Schmiermittel besteht aus einem dickflüssigem Gel (silikonbasis?), das sich lange auf den Oberflächen hält, sich gut verteilt lässt und lange vorhält. Der Preis scheint für die enthaltene Menge recht hoch, es ist jedoch nur eine sehr geringe Menge davon nötig, um alle relevanten Teile damit abzuschmieren, von daher hält die Menge auch einen entsprechenden Zeitraum, je nachdem, wie viele Instrumente man hat. Nach meinen Anforderungen (ein Instrument mit Floyd Rose) schätze ich, dass die Menge mindestens ein Jahr oder länger hält. Hilfreich sind die mitgelieferten Brushes verschiedener Größe, mit der sich das Gel auch in enge und schwierig erreichbare Räume gut einbringen und verteilen lässt (vorher die Saiten natürlich lösen und zur Seite legen, danach komplett neu stimmen). Insgesamt ein erstaunlich nützliches Produkt und eine echte Verbesserung in der Handhabung des Instruments. Werde ich wieder kaufen.
