Any of you Nut Sauce afficionados got a sticker they don't want?  Asking for a friend

lol

I usually would have as I just bought a tube but I've recently decided to stickerfy my work folder so so far I have the Nut Sauce and that EMP \m/ logo that you have on your case.

Just waiting for delivery of a John Mayer sticker I bought that cost me 7 quid or something - that will be the centrepiece!

Yes! Spreading the cult of stickerfication, one flat surface at a time!

I put my sticker on my nuts, is that right?

As long as you left space to put the actual sauce on them

I use it, it works, lasts a long time and I'm not a skinflint.

Much more of that, and I shall be forced to rescind your invitation to the Misers' Club Annual Garden Shed Dance.

FTFY.

I sell it so have a lot of stickers...   if your 'friend' wants some he should PM me his address.

(I don't usually send stickers out with the mini luber because it's too big for the mini envelopes they go into).

Why do some guitarists spend a couple of hundred pounds on a pedal that might get used twice during a gig, yet baulk at parting with a few quid for something that benefits them all the time but does not draw attention to itself?

It's like saying why do some guitarists happily spend 4 figures on a Strat when they've got one already and they can only use one at a time, but baulk at paying £200 for a slice of toast when they're hungry and it would fill their bellies?

Answer: they think the toast is ludcrously overpriced and the Strat isn't.

Surely it's as simple as them believing they will benefit enough from the pedal to justify the high price but don't believe they'll benefit enough (or at all) to justify the relatively low price of the lube.

Some others may think they're wrong about the pedal while some might think they're wrong about the lube so those people make different choices.

Having said that, I wonder if some people might be just looking at the tube of nut sauce and judging the price on a potentially misleading conception rather than thinking about the cost per month for how long it will last them and considering the actual benefit.

It can be easy to judge the value of something wrongly by thinking about it as raw material rather than what it gives us; as was similarly discussed in another thread about guitars costing more than the sum of their raw materials.

The toast is ludicrously overpriced though.

The toast would sound better though...

Always lube my Les Paul nut every string change with Shimano cycle bearing grease (bright green) applying it with a cocktail stick and have zero tuning issues.

I use Schumacher Moly Grease and cocktail stick also to apply it.  Works really well.

Bet the tin of grease is way bigger than the neat syringe that Nut Sauce comes in. And you need a container for the cocktail sticks. But if it works.........

The per-use price of Nut Sauce is so low that an apt food analogy would be someone being outraged that an individually wrapped toffee is 10p when it's possible to make it for much cheaper then mocking anyone who'd pay the small amount of money for the ease and convenience

OH YES............................I have a container for the cocktail sticks !
