GHS: GraphitALL



GHS' GraphitALL is a graphite lubricant in a gel-type incarnation. For those of us who are hesitant in using pencil graphite & other petroleum-based substances to lubricate the guitar nut, know that this product doesn't stain/ harm the guitar's finish. In addition to nut slot fillings, the manufacturer recommends its application on points of string-hardware contacts.
I've been using the GraphitALL for 3 weeks now, suffice to say that it works as stated on the label. Nevertheless, it isn't significantly better than the vaseline I've been using but both get the job done. This is especially useful for non-locking nuts, nevermind if you don't whammy. It is important that the string passage to the tuner is choke free but lubricants aren't the primary remedy to such an anomaly. The primary procedure in curing choked nut slots is still filing the gaps before applying any lubricants as enhancements.
If you are willing to spend on supplements which would ensure performance enhancements for your instrument, the GraphitALL is a product that works.
Price: $9.65
