Detail 01
Tuning lubricant
Strings slide instead of catching, so tension equalizes smoothly rather than releasing in jumps that land off pitch.

Big BendsNut Sauce Tuning Lubricant
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Friction-reducing lubricant for guitar nut slots and other string contact points. For players whose tuning drifts after bends or tremolo use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tremolo guitars that come back sharp or flat after dives
- Heavy benders hearing strings ping in the nut
- Applying during a restring, when slots are exposed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tuning problems caused by worn tuners or slipping posts
- Badly cut or oversized nut slots — that needs a nut job
- Players who never bend and never touch a whammy bar
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Applied at the nut
The nut is where most string binding happens, so that is where tuning instability usually starts.
Detail 03
$13.95
Cheapest thing to try before spending on new tuners, a new nut, or a locking system.
Detail 04
Consumable, not a part
It wears off with playing and string changes, so this is ongoing maintenance rather than a one-time fix.
Detail 05
Matching applicators sold in the line
The Lil-Luber and Bench Luber exist if you want a dedicated tool rather than applying by hand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Clean old gunk out of the slots first, or the lubricant just sits on it
- 02Nothing else is included — no tools, nut, or strings
- 03Plan to reapply at string changes; the effect does not last forever
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fix my guitar going out of tune?
It fixes tuning drift caused by strings binding at the nut. It will not help if your tuners slip or the slots are cut wrong.
02When do I apply it?
During a string change, when the slots are empty and easy to reach. Applying with strings on is possible but messier and less thorough.
03Do I need an applicator too?
No. The applicators in this line make the job neater and faster, but they are optional purchases.
04How often should I reapply?
Treat it as part of your restring routine. Frequent players with a tremolo will notice the benefit fading sooner than occasional players.
