Yeah - and what a great product it is.
I've been using it on all my guitars (electrics, steel-string acoustics and nylon) and I can honestly say I've not broken a string in nearly a year since starting with it.....in fact, come to think of it, I've never broken a string on my Peavey Wolfgang in the year I've had it, and that takes some doing given the abuse it gets Very Happy

(Actually, thats not all true.....I recently had my main acoustic setup again with a new nut to accomodate 13-56 strings, and I broke a string a week after I got it back from the shop....needless to say the shop hadn't applied nut sauce to the nut when they installed it!)

I would really recommend it. I apply a little in each nut slot and in the saddle slots each time I change my strings. So far, the lack of breakage speaks for itself.

Some feel its overpriced given the amount you get in the tiny syringe, but I've made a £10 syringe-full last a year now, and given the confidence I have in it, I'd say thats really good value.

Hope this helps,
Jordan.

Great product. Really helps with the tuning as well as reducing string breakage although I'm not the type to break strings a lot anyway. Highly recommended!

A sharpened 2B pencil tip rotated in the nut groove until there is sufficient dust in the gap is ok for me. It is a bit dirty looking on a white(ish) nut but it works fine. I have broken perhaps a dozen strings in 20 years and usually when I am full of pints and trying to stay calm.
