What is MusicNomad TUNE-IT and how does it improve my guitar's performance?

MusicNomad TUNE-IT is a specialized lubricant designed to reduce friction at critical contact points on your guitar. By applying it to the nut, saddle, string trees, and bridge, it helps strings glide smoothly. This significantly improves tuning stability, prevents string binding, and can even extend string life, especially for guitars with tremolo systems or frequent string bending.

Where exactly should I apply TUNE-IT on my guitar?

You should apply TUNE-IT to any point where the strings make contact with your guitar's hardware. This includes the slots in the nut, the saddles on the bridge, any string trees or retainers on the headstock, and even open-gear tuners. For tremolo systems, a small amount can also be applied to the pivot points. Always use a small amount and wipe away any excess.

How often should I apply MusicNomad TUNE-IT?

The frequency of application depends on how often you play and change strings. A good rule of thumb is to reapply TUNE-IT every time you change your strings, or whenever you notice your guitar's tuning stability starting to degrade. For heavy players or those with tremolo systems, more frequent application might be beneficial.

Is MusicNomad TUNE-IT safe for all guitar materials and finishes?

Yes, TUNE-IT is formulated to be safe for use on all common guitar materials, including bone, Tusq, graphite, metal, and plastic nuts and saddles. It is also safe for all guitar finishes. Its non-staining formula ensures it won't harm your instrument's appearance.

Can TUNE-IT help with string breakage or tremolo issues?

Absolutely. By reducing friction at the nut and saddle, TUNE-IT minimizes stress on the strings, which can help prevent premature string breakage, especially during aggressive playing or bending. For guitars with tremolo systems, it allows the strings to return to pitch more accurately after dive bombs or vibrato, improving overall tremolo performance.
