What Lubricant do you use for the blade of tremolo?

 

[fgl]

very tampok grease + 3 drops wd40 mix

There's this silver stick of lubricant you can buy @ homefix. Its about 6 bucks for 1. Its nice though you gotta be careful how you apply it. Doesn't last very long maybe... 2 wks?

Anyway, lubricated knife edges do feel better, smoother, and the return to pitch seems more... assured (like there's a need to further assure ) That said, its not a required thing, I've played my Ibanez for 3 years without lubricating the knife edges, and it has served me fine.

Walk pass this pen a few times, thought of trying...
Would this work :?:

It would... but it prob wouldn't stay on...

of course, using something like grease would last longer but it would collect dust/dirt and get messy.

Shreadcow: just a minute amt of grease mixed wt 3-4 drops WD 40. Mix well and apply by ear buds - will last aprox 9mth-1 yr w/o corrosion.... shudnt collect too much dust

pencil! 4b pencils!!!

 

[dric]

lol.....yea i use pencils.

 

[empty71]

I would go with pencil. WD-40 is oil based and it will attract dirt and some other gunk. The same goes for chapstick and vaseline. Pencil or rather graphite is the best.
