I have an AM strat with the locking sperzels, graphtech nut, graphtech trees,
graphtech saddle blocks. Set to Fender specs on whammy adjustment. Even using graphite on the slots and it still won't stay in tune for more than a song
or two with moderate whammy action. My fix for that was 2 teles and a hardtail strat. Now I haven't tryed this teflon grease yet. Do you use that in conjunction with the graphite dust? must make it stay in the slots better I suppose.
Well, I dunno where you get that; I don't have a Tele. I play bass somewhat more than guitar in this band, but when I play guitar it's the Strat except for one song that I play on the Paul. Oh, wait; there may be some old pix on the site where David (our main writer and male lead singer) is playing his Tele. That's not me, and he plays an Epi Dot these days.
But yes, I mix up a slurry of Teflon grease and graphite dust and put a dab of the mixture in each nut slot when I change strings. I came up with this over 20 years ago; I should have patented it, I guess... With the graphite nut, though, you shouldn't need it. My guess is your nut slots are cut for narrower gauge strings, but I dunno. Too bad you couldn't get it working; I love my whammy bar.
Real Strat players grease their nuts. ;^)
