D'Addario Accessories LubriKit Friction Remover

Does everything it claims to do. Great product!

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.

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

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

I change my strings monthly and this is much better than graphite. I use it on the saddles, the nut and the string guide. Good product

I noticed that it's easier to tune my guitars now, and to keep them in tune. There are many factors in keeping strings in tune, but this lubricant helps significantly. The little applicators are actually very useful for getting this stuff into the tighter spots. The price is, also, more reasonable than some other brands I've seen. One of the other things I liked is that it's a bit thick. Not runny like oil. So, it stays where I put it, not dripping everywhere.

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.

Good.
