This conversation is about to go downhill fast. :)
So, I told my wife that I need to get some nut sauce because my g-string was binding, especially when I bent. She was quick though, and made some reference about the new Big Muff I just got.

Hello,
you may also want to look at the tuning peg. As the winding string may be lying over a wind and slipping off when you bend.
Simply loosen of and wind back so that the strng is secure.
adios,

..play it..I just hit the damn thing...
This may sound crazy but I just use a regular old pencil and give it a couple of swipes across the string groove at the nut. I've got two guitars that pop like that and this fixes it every time.
I have a multitude of guitars and don't really have this problem. :? Could be because I use those wimpy 9's though. :mrgreen:
Ric, I am very particular what I put on my nuts. I do know that lanolin can be soothing though. :lol:

It's good slick stuff.
If the slots are too tight, as when you've gone to larger gauge strings, "sawing" the larger string in the slot for a bit will loosen it up. Then you can apply your lubricant of choice.

That's because pencil "lead" is graphite.
Lead was originally used but because of lead's toxic effects, carbon in graphite form (not diamond) was substituted.
But the misnomer "pencil lead" is still around.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Yup, I know that :) No need to buy anything more than a #2 pencil.
