Now that I have the nut on my Strat fixed (see my previous post about my LSR roller nut going to pieces), I have a question.

When putting strings on, does anyone lubricate this thing? Graphite, GHS lubricant, oil, whatever... What do you use?

I am open to questions and suggestions.

Thanks,

BD

I haven't found anything on it except to be really careful even cleaning , not to bend the retaining clips that hold the bearings.

In the excellent "Guitar Player Repair Guide" by Dan Erlewine--(Which I recommend for any and everybody, it is too good and too full of info to even describe,) the only reference (Page 110 in my version,) "...I'd say more but I haven't been able to find anything to fix on it. Being stainless it won't rust, and lubrication isn't even necessary, according to Dan Smith. An occasional cleaning with a dry toothbrush is the only maintenance chore!'

Dan Smith was (is??) Fenders VP of marketing at the time the book was written.

Hope this helps.
