Re: Mystical Secret for a Vintage Trem

but you can't have a wang bar without a trem.

and if you don't have a wang bar... then your guitar can no longer do certain things while standing up.

or do certain things to snow for that matter.

As long as we are talking about different lubes we've had good luck with, my favorite is Quantum Hot Sauce. It's made for fishing reels... works like a charm and lasts virtually forever. Nice little needle-style applicator, and resistance to salt water (sweat) are a bonus.

Re: Mystical Secret for a Vintage Trem

Just for the heads up. I know is 2016 but I couldn't find info about this specific trick.

I have this Red Special replica from Harley Benton. (Vintage floating tremolo)

I've installed a roller nut, trem stabilizer, locking tuners, better springs and a schaller sure claw.

Still the strings went down after bends, tweaking the trem arm brought them to pitch again.

After looking and looking for info about a possible solution someone suggested to lube the block slots. Which I agreed were the last possible friction points.

So I've put some teflon based nut lube on each block string slot making sure the balls are full of it and VOILA!!! problem fixed!!
