nut noise on the g-string

something tells me that sylvanshine is gonna be all over that thread title...

When I do bends on the G string, I hear a pretty loud creaking at the nut- and it has just started here in the last month or so. (If these HTC's weren't so dang resonant, it wouldn't be a problem:) ) I'm gonna order some Nut Sauce because guys swear by it, but is there something I can use in the meantime for this weekend's gigs? I've heard of guys crushing up the graphite from a pencil lead and pushing that down in there. Is that kosher for the guitar/nut?

thanks y'all.

don't like the power stuff. the powder can build up and make the string bind. vaseline works fine.

thanks much, Tom.

*ToneLounge came bearing gifts today, huh? I loved the one he called "the hero". It makes my all-mahogany one sound like there's a blanket over it.

Tom liked the Mahogany/Cedar one, too! Now it's back to the shop to work on the Rosewood guitars...

Guitarzan, I'm a changed man. I've got 3 babies to think about. My 3rd grade humor just won't play anymore. I'm a responsible dad.
